Now testing: Endless Dashboard scrolling

You can enable the option on your Preferences page.

With all due respect, I totally and completely disagree. Click a link. Just click, not right-click, control+click, etc. Just click. Now go back. Most likely you’ll have to hold that Page Down button or click the “Look, I know AJAX” button all over again. And again. To get back to where you started.

If this isn’t the case, please tell me what I’m missing. I hate it on the Twitter’s web interface but at least it’s just an option here on Tumblr.

I don’t like the “endless page” thing either, especially because AJAX doesn’t give a way to say “Ok, something went wrong, cancel and reload” without reloading the whole damn page.

You can kinda-sorta do pagination on Twitter by adding “?page=2” to the URL.

For example:

http://twitter.com/tj?page=2

will take you back to the second page of my latest messages. Problem is that “Older” and “Newer” links are still gone. However, you could do something like this (which I used to use to catch up in the morning, back when API hits were scarce)

X=20
while [ "$X" -gt "1" ]
do
    open "http://twitter.com/?page=$X"
    sleep 10
    X=`expr $X - 1`
done

but then again, I’m a bit of a dork.

P.S. Am I really doing this? Reblogging just to comment. Yes.

Yeah, well, if people added COMMENTS :-P

(Kidding. Tumblr comments don’t work well, because there’s very little chance anyone will go back and see them again. Like most comments. So an edited reblog makes the most sense, IMO.)
