#1 Scroll display to unread posts?

Post by bitsobrits » Thu Nov 10, 2022 11:05 pm

Is there a setting on this board that can automatically take me to the first post I have not read on an existing thread? This is a typical feature of many of the other forums I visit, but can't seem to find suitable settings when looking in the user control panel.

Actually it’ll only take you to the topic not the post. The blue arrows for scrolling are handy for that.

You can go directly to the last post by clicking on the grey arrow next to the posters name:

All good answers, (and was familiar with them all), but still doesn't take me to the last post that I have read within a thread. So the answer appears it can't be done.

Just open the thread and then at the top to the right of the topic title click on "First unread post". Or am I not understanding you question correctly?

Wow. I've been on this forum for 10 years, looking all over the settings and preferences menus, but have never noted that option before. Thank you.

It's odd, though, that it's not on every thread as I randomly sampled a few, including those I had previously viewed, at least partially.
