I'd love to get back to the very beginning of one thread and read all the way through.   Can I do that while being signed in? Can I only go back one page at a time- there are 145 in this particular thread.  Thanks Humdinger

    Assuming you are on a computer rather than a mobile, if you change the #latest at the end of the thread address to /p1 it wil ltake you to page 1 of the thread

    I'm sorry, I don't access MSE via a mobile so can't help you there.
    On a PC there is also an '<<' option when navigating through the pages of a thread which I think takes you to the start - does than show on a mobile ?

    Edit: My mistake, the '<<' option takes you back a page at a time. 
    But looking at a long running thread, the navigation options I see at the top right always  show Page 1 as a selectable option - e.g. in the long running Land Registry thread, as I've circled in red (I've also shown where in the address to change #latest to /p1 as another way of navigating..

    @Humdinger1 change your phone to autorotate, you may need to tilt your phone, click number 1 and it takes you back to the start.
