Forums are awkward to navigate

Ah I see you don't want to read backwards you want to jump to last post read, then continue to read forwards, that is a different thing and yes understandable.


Sorry I can't help with that (I am on an old version) I do believe others have complained about this many times.

My apologies.
Reading my OP again I can see I maybe didn't explain very well.
But hopefully it's clear to all now.
If it's a common complaint I won't bother putting it on feedback then.

Am I missing something? To do what you want you click on the little symbol to the right of thread title, looks like a "v" in a box and it takes you to the first unread post.

I would, probably nothing will be done about it but maybe the more people complain the better.

Thats in the old green version. I'm not on it but I believe the new version does not have this function.


Even on the green version, I find its a bit hit and miss sometimes.



I actually prefer the new version layout/style but am keeping the old due to this function. Unless anyone can confirm they have added this function to the new version, that would be great.

Katrina : On threads I've been following, why would I want/need to scroll though scores of pages of old posts I've already seen? I want to jump straight to the latest, especially when I get an email that someone has replied. Example - on another forum I've just got a reply to a query I posted 9 months ago!
Katrina : Crikey, didn't realise the forum doesn't know the right time. It's a UK forum isn't it?
DoaM : Ah! Thought it might be wrong so might try again.
baza : I said I wanted to see newest first, not the oldest, didn't I?
iammumtoo : As I said above, 'cos I've already seen all the old posts.

It is your computer that doesn't show the correct time. Check your settings.

Mine shows your first post as 2.46

As said earlier it's likely the user's forum settings. The link below should allow OP to check and set their Date & Time Options:

The new version of the forum doesn't have this link to the first unread post in a thread. There is a grey or green dot next to the thread title to let you know if there are any new posts in it since your last visit, but it's not a clickable icon so you just have to open the thread by clicking on the thread title and it takes you to the beginning.

I wasn't aware of this until I read your post, so thanks, that's another reason for me to stick with the old version of the forum.

On the new version you just click on "latest post" and it takes you to the latest post ! Amazing eh ? Where's the issue ?
