Update 05-08: It sort of works these days.

Update:  The procedure below didn’t work this morning.  So, fuck all.

When Twitter replaced the Next button with the More button, I wasnt the only one who took it hard.  If you follow a hundred people and only check in on them once or twice a day, Twitter’s lack of paging can be a big burr in yer butt.  @kellydeal crystalized my thoughts when she tworted

So, I hate the “more” button. What’s the best way for a PC LADY (no shame mofos!) w/ OCD to go back & read 12 hrs of tweets w/o pagination?

There are lots of 3rd-party applications fer tweetering with, and I lookt at a bunch but none of them allowed me to see tweets from more than a few hours back.

Fortunately, you can trick Twitter into paging.  Hover yr mouse over th More button and you will see an address something like

http://twitter.com/home?max_id=1419438281&page=2&twttr=true

Th long number in th middle will be diffrent tho.  So here’s what you do:

1. Copy th text above.
2. Paste it into yr address bar.

(You could skip steps 1 & 2 and just click on th text above.  But it won’t take you anywhere worth going until you do steps 3 & 4.)

3. Hover over th More button to find the Number Of The Day.
4. Replace the number in the address bar with the Number Of The Day.
5. Go!
6. When you are done with that page, change “page=2” to “page=3” and go.
7. Etc.

Klar?  It’s a little bit of work, but being able to do it has made my life easier.
