Alex, you can already jump to a specific page within a topic. Just use the links entitled by the page numbers, for example, pick any long topic (with more than 20 replies) and to the right of the VCR buttons (found at the top and bottom of every large topic) you'll see Messages: 1 to 20, 21 to 40, 41 to 60, 61 to 80 and so on. Hit the appropriate link for the appropriate page. :-)

The other thing to be aware of is that the forums are threaded (same as google, and rc.com for example). Replies are not presented chronologically, instead replies appear under each other, nested as it were (ie recursively). You can reply to any post within a topic. (Think of it like a tree structure, with infinite branches). Thus it is possible that a "new post" might not appear on the last page in the topic. If someone replies to a reply, posted early in the topic, said new reply will also appear early in the topic. To get a clearer picture, press the "View Thread" button. But the upshot of it is, that always going to the last page first will not, neccessarily, give you the most recent post to the topic.
