I have always grabbed the url i want of the forum post page I can’t see, put it in a new google search box (new page)…http://………, click enter, and click cached.
Quite often it works great.

Thanks JAck for Sharing a New Trick

Mohit :

I too apply Jack’s trick. Just see the cached snapshot of the page. But sometimes if the the cached snapshot of the page is not available then your trick can be used. Great Post.

Tech @ InkAPoint :

@Jack,
Me too will always follow what you are following. But sometimes once the cached page is completely loaded, the forum script will reload it into the login page. So once you got the content in the cache page, just stop it’s loading.
