How to "fix" long topics when they break
Moderator:Æron
Sometimes when you go to a really long topic, such as "Exchanging Letters" or "Word Association", you will get an error message stating that no posts exist for this topic. Here's how to fix that.
Click on the last page of the topic and look at the URL, it will look something like this...
http://www.definecynical.net/viewtopic. ... tart=16170
Now, manually change that last number so that it's one less, and try again. If it fails, repeat the process a few times. Eventually it will work!
I don't know if this is common knowledge; if so, I apologize for wasting people's time.

Actually, I think they tried that already and failed.

You usually
have to take what people say
with a grain of salt.
(or in cases like
mine, a shaker or two may
yield the best result.)

No no no, I don't mean for the admins to do anything... I mean for you yourself to do it, like manually edit the URL and go there. But...Actually, I think they tried that already and failed.
This works even better! I never thought of it.I just go to the page before the "last" page... Voila.
Or go to the first page and click "reply." It will show you the most recent posts if you scroll down. Useful if you only need to know the last thing said I.E. Word Association.
And listen to the wails of anguish. Much more fun than actually participating...Just delete the topic and pretend it never existed?

Astro> gforce's smiles can cure cancer in kittensgforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

I'm fairly sure you realize that neither baloki nor I have the power to delete said threads. We can only derail them, which is even more fun.
