mimesis Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 What do you click on to get to the oldest of several unread posts? After I go to "Unread Content", if I click on the main thread title it takes me to page no. 1, and if I click on the time stamp (e.g. 16 hrs), it takes me to the most recent post.

Arnie Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 What are you trying to do? Work from the oldest post and catch up with unread material? Just so I understand the issue. Feel free to drop in screen shots etc. I can have a dig and sort it. It's a brand new forum setup so obviously we're all locating the new features as we go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted May 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Yes, on the old site, you clicked on unread posts, and then clicking somewhere (I forget where exactly, it was second nature), it took you to the oldest of the unread posts, if there were several of them. That's what I'm trying to figure out again. A thread has several posts that I haven't read. It makes sense to read them in chronological order, starting with the oldest (least recent) of them. On the new forum, I haven't figured out a way to go directly to that oldest unread post. I can either go to the start of the thread, sometimes from years ago, or I can go to the most recent post, but then I have to backtrack to find the start of the unread conversation. Thanks.

Arnie Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 If I spot it I will let you know. There's no manual when a new verison is updated specifically so it's all a learning experience! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Found the answer.. they dropped that feature in 4.0 beta: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/433746-no-more-go-to-first-unread-post-link-in-topic/ It will be something we can add back with a plugin. I'm doing my best to avoid plugin scripts just because it can cause issues, but if it's needed I can add it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Not ideal but if you go the the activity stream at the top of the forum you'll find a dot at the beginning of the topic link. click that and it'll take you to the new post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) This is ideal, a feature I've been looking forward to Thanks Arnie! Edited May 30, 2018 by ED-SKaR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
