Enhance Recent Threads to go to top of last page in thread

[Killshot]

Why does the site direct me to the most recent post, rather than the first post of the thread?

 

For example, I clicked on a new thread by X7, and it took me to a second page of welcomes.

 

Suggestion: Is there any way to re-direct my clicking to the top of the oldest page?

Killshot,

 

This is a common question and there is an FAQ on it in the Forum Questions and Answers forum, but I'll answer it quickly here.

Basically the recent posts are exactly that, the most recent specific posts...so when you click the link, it takes you too that most recent (and latest) post.

I'll work on enhancing this section moving forward to help with the functionality you and other users are looking for :thumb_up:

Cool with me BHNJ. When you get there, you get there. Clearly, there is a lot going on in your world right now.

 

Thanks:cool:

Haha yes, a lot...been going 110% for a week straight

Does seem unanimous about viewing threads from the start.

I agree Mako, but I guess my prob isn't being placed on the bottom (most recent) area, it's not having the page numbers front and center upon clickage.

I'll see if I can add the pages below the post in the Recent Posts view. That way you can click on the page you want (top of page view) or click the post itself and go right to that?

All,

 

I added the list of (Pages 1 2 3...) for a given thread to the Recent Posts section, and the default behavior of clicking the main thread link will now take you to the top of the last page.

Please let me know if you experience any issues with the update, or have any additional recommendations.

 

I may try to further enhance this by giving users a configurable option to specify how they want that click action to work:

- Go to first post on the last page

- Go to last post in the thread

 

I'll add that to the list
