How to view only new posts in a thread?

fixx

I'm sure this has already been asked/answered, but I've tried using the search and can't find it...

So, having moved back to the UK and come back to MSE, I found the new site/layout - most of it I've slowly got used to, but I cannot find how to jump to the newest posts in a (usually long) thread - i.e. only those posted since I last was on the forums. It definitely used to exist and I used it all the time, but nothing I've clicked in this new interface seems to work.

How do I do this or where do I click?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Yes, it still exists in the old/green version.

But (either by design or simple incompetence) it was not implemented in the new/blue version.

The lack of this useful (some would say 'vital') functionality was pointed out to MSE Towers almost straight away after the new version was released in its 'test' version, and they have been reminded about it at regular intervals ever since.

These posts/reports have been consistently ignored.

My suggestion would therefore be to ensure that you are using the old/green version.

Oh dear - it is indeed a rather vital function! Especially given the length of some threads on here.

Any tips how to change back to the old/green version? I tried changing it already in my control panel, but nothing happened

i did find the old site easier to read as well - more posts on one screen at a time. Ah well!

Nevermind, found it - now switched back to the old version

Lots more posts per screen, and I can jump to the most recent posts again, yay!

Well, make sure you vote to tell them how delighted you are with their redesigned offering :rotfl:
