Go to New Post
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?
Not working for me.

Issue noted, will look into it.
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.
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.
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. I think this is just a version bug.
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.Originally Posted by DHLawrence
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%!
Yes super easy, just had to find the solution. It was simply adding a few lines of code.
Around line 2640 of class_core.php, add the following code:
// save
if (!$path)
{
$this->registry->relpath = $relpath;
}
//ADD THIS CODE
if ($fragment = parse_url($path, PHP_URL_FRAGMENT))
{
$relpath .= '#' . $fragment;
}
//END NEW CODE
return $relpath;
Could the "Latest Posts" section on the front page be changed to go to the latest post as well? It goes to the top of the latest page instead.
Kind of related...
Why isn't the thread for the Spruce Garden Lofts folding over to create a second page? Usually once a page reaches 10 posts, a new one is created to reduce the amount of scrolling. Perhaps this feature is malfunctioning?
I've noticed this in the past - I think there's an initial minimum post count - say 15? At which point it pushes the last 5 over to a new page, and then proceeds to do the expected 10 posts a page from then on, regardless of the total.
I've had this happen a few times where I'll be post 11-14 and then my post goes "missing", only to be relocated on another page.
I'd test my theory on the thread, but figure it will get there shortly.
It looks to me like it now does this at 20 posts.

I've been doing a lot of changes to the site lately, one of them being adding the first post of a thread to every page of that thread. The first post is meant to include a rendering of the project, the latest construction photo, etc. After doing this, I thought it looked better changing the default setting for # of posts/thread to 20 (it did used to be 10). This is because at 10 I thought it was getting a bit annoying, but at 20 it's a handy reference tool.
That said, if you go to 'Settings' , any member can personalize their option of Posts per Thread. I've defined 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 as possible choices, but if someone has a different request I'd be happy to add it in there.
