Check this out. A great tip to find an earlier message instead of using the first, previous button at the bottom of each thread. In the address bar you will see the URL of any message you are presently viewing. Look at the sample below. Where it says 10 in brown just change that number to the post you're looking for and go to that page. Saves time of having to go through multiple pages.
