There is a way, i thought i knew it but when i tried it, it no longer works!
I'll keep trying and report back if/when i find the trick again............

You can narrow the target post(s) down to a page or two very closely by simple division. The default post : page ratio is 10 (I prefer to set mine to 20), therefore using my previous example, post #2516 will be found on page 251 or, in my case, page 125.

Obviously, if there should be a way of doing that automatically via a search facility, that is to be preferred.

Regards, John.

Thank you, Alan, and as you say, 'good fortune' to Kelton. In your, now his, R.B. thread he has an excellent base to work on with the car. This illustrates one of the many benefits the forum when running a car like the R.B. Seldom can there have been a more comprehensive and informative hand-over for any motor-car, regardless of price or source.

I'm sure that both, forum members will continue to follow it with interest, and also, that Kelton will continue to enjoy the friendship, help and support of his fellow enthusiasts through this medium.

Regards, John.

If someone deletes images from their Imgur library, that wil happen, ditto on Postimages etc.

Sometimes though their is a server problem that gets resolved and normal service is resumed a few hours later.

That is probably due to my clumsy file management Bob.
