The Go To Last Post function

Postby Death Legion » Sat Oct 18, 2008 3:53 pm

Hi all!

This new forum version is really great (the rainbow pearl red theme is truely old-style like :tongue: ), but there's a little thing which is annoying...

You know the "go to last post" button, at the very right of each thread in the topics list.

Before, when you pushed it:
- if you had never read this topic before, it showed you the first post.
- if you had read this topic before, it showed you the first new post after the last post you read in that topic.

Now, when you push it, read or not before, it brings you to the last post of the topic.

OK, I know, it's what it's supposed to do, but the old function was more useful because you could go away for a week-end and come back and see where you were in the MFH mod topic without having to read the last 30 pages to find what you were reading :tongue:

Thanks for reading ^^

You can always just click on the "First Unread Post" that's at the top of every topic. (As long as you haven't read every post...)

Yeah that. It screwed me up for a while too.

The little link on the right, next to the username, will bring you to the most recent post.

The little link on the left, next to the topic name will bring you to the first unread post, which is what I think you mean. I've been using this link a whole lot.

That's because with the new forum, all your old "viewing hitory" has been erased. You just need to be a little patient and it'll start working like it did before. :smile: I know mine did.

Oh god, didn't saw this little arrow at the left of the topics name...

Very useful, man!

Locking this topic.
