Unread Messages Question

[rbsWELDER]

On most boards that I frequent, when you press "Unread Messages" it takes you to the first unread message in that topic.

On this board, you are taken to the top of the tread. Is this a setting on my end? or at the BBS?

Thanks in advance.

Your end, under user control panel, board preferences, edit display options... pick ... display post order direction ...descending (for both options) ... Should do it...Ted

Ted,

That did not solve my problem. I probably did not explain myself well enough. So let me give you an example of what I want to:

Let's say that a topic has three pages. In a prior visit, I have read the entire thread up to the last post on page three. The last post was the second post on page three. On my next visit, I want my setting to take me to post three on page three, without going through the first two pages and the first two posts on page three. How can I do that?

Thanks,

Look to the right of the persons name on the Board Index page and you will find a little square in light blue, If you put your mouse over that you will see 'see last post' in that thread. I think this is what you are looking for.

Mike,

Thanks for the info. If there is just one or two new posts your method works fine. However, for ten new posts, it is a clumsy method.

I am sure Ted will resolve this, when there are not so many fires burning.

BTW- Thanks Ted and Jan for doing a great job on the new board!!!!!!!!!!!!
