Entering a thread where you left off?

NCHornet · September 20th, 2007, 07:30 AM

I am a member of several other forums and one feature I really like that we don't have hear is the ability to enter a thread where I last exited it. Let's say I post to a thread and I am post 32 on that topic. The next day I enter the same thread to read new topics I must scroll through them to find where I left off, this is a huge waist of time. It would be a great improvement if you were just directed to your last post, or the last post that you viewed instead of having to scroll down each time. If you don't know how to do this you can contact admin at wwwthedieselstop.com their forum is set up this way and I am sure they can tell you what needs to be done to accomplish this. It really is a awesome feature and saves members a lot of time.
Thanks for a great forum,
NCHornet

You should have a view first unread at the top LH corner of the thread /post box. A little arrow with a circle around it colored blue.

Boy do I feel stupid. I never knew what that blue circle was for. It does work!!! I'm not one to start clicking on things to see what they do. Thanks for the info.

My "home" page for DefensiveCarry.com is simply my "userCP" page. Try it. You'll see your last posts to subscribed threads appear. From that list, it's easy to jump back to where you left off.

I too was unaware of the mysterious blue-thingy, I am very glad I know what it does now though.
