I'm new to modern technology and touch screens. would it be possible or even feasible 2 put

Haha, sorry guys, stupid no name tablet shut down I the middle of my post. Will be resetting to factory this weekend.

Any way, could we get a next page button, to make it easier to get to the next page in long threads. With this stupid touch screen, I have to either expand the screen to hit the page I want, or spray and pray so to speak, and hope my fat fingers get the right page number.

Just stay logged in constantly and read every single post ever. If you hit "New Posts" every 2 hours or so, you should be good.

Get tapatalk or increase the posts per page to 40 so you have less pages to scroll through.

Hey irving,! Where is the new posts button?

Hey irving, I have thought about tap to talk, but I thought it cost money. Also I read somewhere that people were getting Chevrolet ads on their stream?
Anyway, where is the posts per page button?

Quit teasing the new guy.

Kyle - at the top and bottom of each thread with more than 1 page there should be page numbers. The page you're on should be highlighted in a different shade (allows for those who are color bling to see the difference too). This makes it somewhat simple to navigate between the thread pages. Of course, while it shouldn't, your device may present things differently.

For the record, I'm using an iPad and WON'T use Tapatalk. 3rd party tools increase the chance for problems so I avoid them.

Now, to change the number of posts per page...
Near the top of your page (just above where is says "Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums", you should see a string of text that says something like "Welcome, boomerhc9 Notifications. My Profile. Settings. Log Out". Each of these are hot-links. If you press the "Settings" link you should get settings menus on the left wide of your screen.

Now, within the "My Account" group of options should be a "General Settings" option. If you select that, the main part of the window will have LOTS of settings options. About 1/2 way down the page should be a section called "Thread Display Options". In this section is
Number of Posts to Show Per Page:". You can set this all of the way up to "Show 40 Posts Per Page". This is what I use.

After selecting this setting, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the "Save Settings" option or it will revert to just 10 posts/page.

"New Posts" is the second to last option in the tool bar just above the site logo. Even if they install a next page button, it would likely be similar in size to page number buttons, so you'll still be zooming in order hit the right button you want. Most threads aren't so long that this is a problem though. I have to occasionally zoom on my mobile devices. Good luck.

Cool thanks guys, the number of posts setting seemed to do it. I can't believe anyone can navigate with buttons this small. And man hands. Lol
