Point of entry in "Recent"

Recently while my back was turned, about 1500 new images were uploaded to BugGuide. I opened "Recent" and started looking through the backlog. After about 800 images (80 pages) I needed to take a break. In order to pick up where I left off, I had to move through the 800 already examined. This can only be done in skips of no more than 40 images which takes a lot of time. I would rather use this time looking at the remaining 700 images. My question: Is it possible to enter "Recent" at other locations than the newest or oldest entry or to skip directly from one location to another? I am not campaigning for changes in the software which I find to be exceptional. I just don't want to overlook an existing feature.

When you are in Recent,
the url will look something like: http://bugguide.net/node?from=10

Just change that 10 to 100 and you'll be about 10 pages deep or 100 images. Change it to 700 and you'll be 700 images deep. Presto!

Ditto Gayle!
I won't be checking bugguide during my planned return trip to Ecuador and if would be nice to find where I left off in four or five jumps instead of a couple hundred. Now I know how :-)
