Sapieha,

Reading your reply to my other thread, I decided to put this one in a new topic.

Can you explain to me in more detail how you would like this to be configured?

Provide an example so that I understand.

Are you saying that within each forum you would like to have the posts sorted by LAST READ as a default?

Thanks,

Ken Gracey

    Ken - In old Forum we had small button that had function to come directly to Last post in thread that I was before NOT at is NOW little button (>) that instead go to Last post in thread and I must scan back how many post i need read. As it is NOW on new Forum I need every time start reading thread from start else from end --- Not from position I was last on that thread.

    Ps. Thanks.

    It was most useful function in old forum

    Sapieha,

    Okay, I understand. This might be a user option setup in your Control Panel, but I shall still go and check the Admin control panel to make sure it is not a global setting over which I have control.

    I agree, it would be fantastic to have a little button to take you directly to the last post, or to have them appear automatically.

    Thanks,

    Ken Gracey

    Ken, Sapieha:

    The button to use is the down-arrow to the left of the post title, not the right-arrow. It works fine.

    Sapieha,

    I have enabled the following choice in your Control Panel:

    Show Last Post on Profile Page
    Showing the last post on a member profile can cause large table scans which leads to table locking. This may increase load time on your forums as well as the load of your server. This option should only be enabled for smaller forums.

    Yes No <= and I have changed it from NO to YES.

    This appears to be the closest configuration item to what you'd like to use, so I've chosen to enable it. Let me know if this is what you had in mind.

    Thanks,

    Ken Gracey

    On second thought, this isn't what you asked for.

    This allows other members to view all of your posts in order of LAST post first, but it doesn't give you the ability to display last posts firsts.

    I'll keep looking.

    I've changed the option back to "NO".

    Sorry Ken Gracey (Parallax)

    In Old Forum that button was in middle.
    Now that button are on left side of page and only visible if thread have unread POSTS.
