I tried to get to the end of two threads that I might post a little tid-bit.

As of this message…

[Ukraine and Russia: War and Consequences](https://scanalyst.fourmilab.ch/t/ukraine-and-russia-war-and-consequences/919/236) 703 posts

[Modern Warfare](https://scanalyst.fourmilab.ch/t/modern-warfare/3858/3) 462 posts

To my tid-bit:  
[Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy visits Scranton ammunition plant](https://www.pahomepage.com/top-stories/ukraine-president-visits-scranton-ammunition-plant/)

This is in my home town, well where I live now, by home town actually borders Scranton.

Now as to “Thread too long”…  
Am I missing the point? I tried very unsuccessfully to get to the end of the Ukraine and Russia post, but every time I thought I was nearing the end, more posts loaded and I scrolled down yet again.  
This might have not been considered in the original design of the forum. If’n it was me, and I had the computer expertise the start of this forum had, I would have considered an archive in a post as it reached, say 250 posts, so that in the beginning of the thread a viewer could choose to visit archive 0-250 or archive 1001-1250 to ease the scrolling.  
But as they say that’s my 2 cents worth.

You can use the scroller bar to the right of the article, and drag it

DUH…  
Sorry.  
Let me rely on the old adage…  
What’s the use of being Polish if now and then one can not use it as an excuse?
