Latest post button

Postby stampedingviking » Sat Jan 28, 2012 10:24 pm

Is it just me or does clicking on the latest post button only take you to the top of the page the last post is on?

I'm sorry, but what latest post button? I can't see one, or I'm going blind, which I would believe. Where is the latest post button? I would try it if I knew where it was. Really, I'm being serious.

I suspect the OP means the 'First Unread Post' thing at the top RHS of a thread. Works fine for me... Not that I often bother using it, but I've just tried it, and it took me to the post rather than the top of the page as the OP alleges. Might be a browser issue? I'm using Safari on a Mac.

Yes, I've tried that with the same result. I wondered if it was the little square next to the topic heading with the number in it, but that is the page number and can't believe that is what was meant. That is the only thing that gets me to the top of the page with the latest post on it. Still, you never know until Stampeding Viking clarifies it.

It's the little green box next to the thread title.

Shouldn't it take you to the latest post you've not yet read?

Well, you live and learn - I'd never even realised that was a button! And yes, it takes me straight to the first post I haven't read.

Same here. Straight to the first unread post. I'm using Firefox on a pc. I didn't realise that was a button either.

There are 2 options on this both use a very similar icon;

'First unread post' is the green one next to the thread title, only appears when a new post is made.

'View latest post' appears next to the poster's name on the right hand side in the LAST POST column and is always available. I believe this is the one the OP is referring to and it works just fine for me using IE. Sometimes if there are a lot of pics to load and I get impatient it goes to the top of the page rather than the latest post but that's down to me not the system!
