Unread posts

I know I'm being fussy, and I know you're both busy but pleeeeease can we have the 'go to first unread post' button back? If a thread is getting quite long and you haven't checked it for a while if you go to the first post or jump to last you have to scroll through and find where you'd finished reading and because we've been spoilt in the past I find it a bit irritating.
Thanks

I second that. I do really really miss that button. Please can we have it back, Thanks guys:D:D

Yes please can we have it back, it saves so much time for those of us who visit the forums several times a day:D

Morning!

I've read the other posts about the use of "Go to first unread post" but just wanted to get an updated view.

Is it just me (or rather my dastardly laptop) or do other people have problems using the "Unread post" link. It's fine if the thread is only on one page but doesn't work if there are multiple pages, just bungs me back on the first page. I am behind a Firewall so wondered if the cookies may be the problem but I thought that John was talking about getting a cookie-less link.

Blast, I'm hungry now. With all this talk of cookies, I'm off to find a biscuit to dunk in my tea!

I get that problem as well Sarah, but then again ive got a butchered Pc that I keep
'killing' so thought it was just me

Works perfectly for me (even on multiple page threads) - it's exactly the same code as we have been using since 2002 so it should be ok.

Thanks John, it must be something to do with my pesky laptop. Does the link still use cookies? I know that you mentioned on another thread that you were working on a cookie-less option. Blast, I need another biccie. I have to get off this topic or I'll gain ten pounds by the end of the day. ;)

Do you have a firewall, Chris? Perhaps that's causing our problems.

The link should be totally database driven and not require cookies.

I do have a firewall, but think the problem is more down to me playing with the Pc itself

Okaaaaay, that's another idea shot down. As a last resort, I shall refer to the Fountain of all Knowledge, the Oracle of IT, my personal Guru..... aka Hubbie.:D "Damn Users", he'll cry. Anyone else read BOFH?:D
