Dr. Bob - question re your FAQ's

Posted by Janelle on April 22, 2002, at 23:30:46

I've noticed that whenever you give me a link to your FAQ's it mentions # and the name of the topic, yet I land at the TOP of the FAQ page, NOT at that specific #. I then have to scroll down, and often what you have written in your link after # to describe the FAQ is not at all how the FAQ is worded. IMHO, your links to the FAQ's don't match up with the actual FAQ's and they don't take you directly to the specific FAQ (only to the top of the list).

For example, (and this is a question I asked above that you didn't answer!) -- I can't find a FAQ for archives that explains anything substantive about them! When I click on the link you provided it brings me to the top of the list of FAQ's and the closest thing to archives is something about "why can't I find old posts" -- it doesn't even mention the word ARCHIVES in the FAQ yet it says the word ARCHIVE after # in the link.

When I asked about archives, is this FAQ ("why can't I find old posts") what you're trying to get me to?

If so, it doesn't say much about the archiving process, but thanks anyway -- if not, where are you trying to get me to?

A # can take you anywhere on a page, including to the middle of a section. If you're always going to the top, then something's messed up. Try super-reloading:

Or maybe clearing your cache?
