Usually when clicking on "Go to new post" (the blue circle with the two white arrows?) other forums take me to the newest post in the thread.. here it seems to just go to the top of the page that contains the newest post.. is this working for anyone else?
Ya that's the same for me. But when you get there, at the top of the page there is a link that says "View First Unread" that will take you down to the newest post.
Not working for me.
Is there any way to view the first unread post of a thread? I use the "New Posts" search, but then I click on a thread and then I have to click again on "View First Unread". It would be good to go directly to the first unread post somehow.
Merged the two threads together. I was kind of hoping this bug would get fixed in the latest software update.
waterlooadmin's busy season (10.5 hr days + more work at home) is winding down, so by next week he'll have more time to research any outstanding issues. Hopefully it's solved quickly and easily.
Plam do you click on the thread name under "whats new" or the little arrow icon beside it?
The arrow to the left goes to the wrong place: there's no hashtag after the URL directing the browser to the actual last new post for you, just to the page containing the last post. I just noticed that there's an arrow to the right next to "last post". But that skips all the non-last posts in the thread.Originally Posted by Spokes
Is there any plan to fix this? It gets annoying when you haven't checked a thread for a couple days and the thread has added a couple pages.
I'm sure it must be just some configuration glitch, I'm on many vbulletin forums and haven't seen this issue before.
I think part of the problem might have to do with the fact that it only does it for posts in the last 24 hrs. I was gone this weekend and came back sunday to check posts and had to manually do it for a lot of them
Me too. So theres gotta be some kind of setting to go to a thread and it automatically goes to the last unread post. Or at least don't have it be the unread posts for the last 24 hrs.
Urban Toronto used to do the same thing, and they fixed it. Maybe someone should ask how they did it.
I've tried to look for a solution and so far have come up empty handed. Question: the other vbulletin forums you're on, are they running 4.0? I wonder if this is just a bug in this version.
Regardless what I think we'll do at the next WW Meet (May 29th) is put "Forum Settings" on the agenda for 15-30 minutes. That will give us some time to scroll through all the options and see if we can fix this issue.
Thanks for the info, I'll take a look at their forum issues section or message their moderators to find out how it was fixed.
Yup, thats worth talking about. May be something for the mods to hammer out and not bore everyone else with.
Maybe this is fixed? Now when I go to what's new? and click on the little arrow to go to the thread it takes me to the first unread post, rather than having to click the go to newest post link at the top of the page
It seems to be.
now works like it's supposed to.

Yes, I did some more searching last night and found the code to fix this issue.
Awesome, you've increased my productivity by 100%!
Was it an easy fix?
