Apologies if this has been mooted before (I did search two pages of General Talk, but life's too short) and accepting that I'm a newbie on here.

But (you knew that was coming, didn't you?), am I the only one who finds it frustrating that the only options to follow a thread are to go to the first post or the last post?

ALL other message boards I've participated in have the facility, when the user is logged in, to go to the latest UNREAD post in a thread.

This makes it so much easier to follow any particular thread. Maybe I'm getting old but I'm just not good at remembering what page I last viewed a particular thread on, even just a day later. Popular threads on here can grow by 20 or 30 pages in just 24 hours!

Or have I just missed how to do what I'm asking for? Happy to be corrected and shouted down if so. Also happy to be moderated and merged if this conversation has been had before.

Is this a bespoke site that cannot be amended easily or is the message board part of it an 'off the shelf' product that has a load of settings behind the scenes that can be tweaked?

Genuinely interested as I'm sure a 'go to the most recent UNREAD post' feature would be welcomed by all.

Wouldn't it?

Stuff that I have read turns red, i.e. the topic title and the page number of the thread.

When I want to go back to where I was, or thereabouts, I click on the last page that is red or the first one that is blue.

Optimistic as ever

It does but I can usually keep track of them.

You can always look at your own profile to see what your last 10 posts were too.

Optimistic as ever

World of convenience.
