I had to scroll about 1500 questions too and it took awhile, but it made me remember my old answers and the old questions, which was rewarding in a way.
Eventually things will get faster. For example, if you are looking for a person in a university with over 5,000 RG members, you could just scroll through all of them. Before, the members were split into hundreds of pages and you had to find the right page. Now they are all in the same, very long, page.
Dear Dr. Michael Issigonis: Thank you for your valuable contribution to this discussion! If I remember some keywords of that answer, how can I find it without that long time? Please, note that it is very tedious to search for all the old answers whenever I need some information. Indeed, scrolling down to the oldest answer is consuming effort and time.
This is a good question. I also face the same problem, and it is very tedious to search my old answers each time. My solution is, to expend all the answers and scroll down to the most oldest answer, copy all the answers and paste to a MS Word file. Then, when I have new answer, just update the word file at my spare time. Next time, I only need to search in my MS Word file.
Dear Dr. Ligen Yu, Thank you for your attention and support. The problem is how to expand all the answers and scroll down to the oldest answer. This is actually the problem and nothing else. If I have reached the oldest answer, then the problem is completely solved and there is no need to copy all the answers and paste them into MS Word. Thank you again.
Furthermore, I have already added the same question a few weeks ago on the platform of Researchgate, but no answer yet.
Thank you very much for your comprehensive answer. But, You have said "What are RG Questions? You can use some algorithms to resolve these issues."
The problem is not as easy as you have described. Do you have that algorithm or I should write to solve this issue? Is it an easy task to use that algorithm every time I need to search for a given answer?
I have similar approach as colleague Ligen Yu, but instead of MS Word file I keep all my answers in simple text file, which is easily readable/searchable in Notepad++.
I have 751 RG questions' answers. How can I go to the oldest one directly without pressing the Page-Down or using the mouse many times? Under the given circumstances, there is no way to go to the oldest answer directly.
Yes, this problem is frustrating but it seems like others have found a way around. The frustrating thing for me is getting questions in my feed that have nothing to do with my field. Some of the non-scientific ones are fun to answer but the technical ones that have no bearing to anything that I do, is a pain because it lengthens the feed.
