Jump to the end of new posts?

[160dmb]

Is there any way that when one clicks on a topic they have already read that they jump to the unread comments on that thread. Or even to the end of the thread, rather than having to scroll all the way through each time. (or am I showing my ignorance here )

Not that i'm aware of, its a good suggestion and maybe Nik could shed some light on it for you. I guess there might always be a few little improvements that could be implemented but understand that finding time is probably a contributing factor for things like this.

I've always thought that when using the active threads box and the foot of the main index page it should take you to the last post (i.e. the last active thread) of that topic, as the last thread details are already being displayed in that box.

I tend to click on the last number, then hit page down on the keyboard, but I don't think there's a way of taking you to the first unread message, that would be quite clever (although not unfeasible).

Click on the black arrow dont you ? :?

Nice one Pacey - that works a treat! Cheers

Awww - just noticed it doesnt work for the active threads box on the main index page ;(

Click on the black arrow dont you ? :?

Well bugger me, over 1,000 posts and I didn't know that.

Here it is:

That in conjuction with "view all post since last visit" does exactly what I was aiming for.

Thanks, I've learnt something

lol - i wondered what you were on about for a minute........ i thought everyone knew that. Just log in, view posts since last visit and click on either the arrow or specific page number.

Since the site changed evry post I go to look at, & i've not been on for ages it goes straight to the bottom of the thread........but I want to start at the top, is it me?? :?

 

[Cue]

yeh i've noticed that.... you've got to scroll up now to read the posts......

 

[Nik]

Are you guys clicking on the actual text of the thread link or the images like this =>

?

I go straight to the top of the thread if i click the text link

 

[hoolio]

No, if you click on the thread title it comes up with the start of the thread then flicks to the last post.

 

[Nik]

odd, it doesn't do that for me, I shall investigate #-o

 

[reboot]

For me it comes up with the start of the thread and jumps to the end of the first page if there is more than one page.

 

[Nik]

Hmm, seems its only in IE, doesn't do it with Firefox.

 

[Cue]

no it does it FF also, i use FF.

 

[Nik]

Even more interesting then, my firefox is the V3 beta though so that may be the difference.

 

[Nik]

Right, should be fixed now! Might require people to restart their browsers to clear the java cache.

 

[Cue]

V3 beta? i thought they were on V5 now?
