| | Posted : 19 Mar 2011 - 14:56 Post title : Forum Help, PLEASE? | | | How come every time I click on a thread it takes me to one of the middle pages? That's stupid, IMO. It should load the first page first so I can read the original post. Is there a setting that missed when setting up my preferences?

(Re: Boomer) | | | One way to determine if it indeed is doing what Boomer said is try opening a multi page thread when NOT logged in, then when logged in. It should do what you've been experiencing when logged in but not when you aren't.

Boomer - the feature works unless the unread posts span two pages. It then takes you to the last page and you miss some unread posts.

Personally, I like to be taken to the last unopened post. When I'm following and commenting on a thread, I don't want it to start at the top of the first page, I would have to page down to the bottom and click on the next page to get to the comments that I haven't read yet. I like the forum as is myself.

I have corrected it for you. You didn't need the URL and IMG etc. conventions, it's much simpler.
For a link or an image all you need is the address (always starting with "http" etc.). The rest is done automatically.
For a link you can then go back in and edit the title to whatever you like (just replace the word "title").
This is all in the Useful Forum Information thread in this (Lounge) section.

I'll have to ask you to bear with us on this one as is not a quick fix.
It's a bit more complicated with too many potential side effects (a bit of open-heart surgery  )
While we were at it, we did revise the avatar size issue in the "Members" section so that they are uniform (you may have noticed our "tinkering" with the avatars  ).
In the near future we'll also be adding a sorting feature in that section (sort by Country, sort by Registration date etc.).
