I always use the new posts feature in forums as my home page. Lately, when I click the blue "New" button on updated threads here on OD&DD it takes me to the top of the last page in the thread, rather than the first new post since my last visit. Has something changed with ProBoards, or is this something that can be re-set? It's kind of annoying having to scroll through the page to find the last bit I read and then the new posts.

Hmmm. It's working normally in my case (tested on Win7 + SeaMonkey and Slackware/Linux + Firefox). Try restarting the browser maybe? Worst case you can clear your cache and site cookies and start over... but you probably don't want to do that just yet...

Same behavior for me. |

For me it sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't  |

Any way to fix this in the settings, Finarvyn? |

Hey, Vile! Sorry for not attending you! As you are going to see in the coming days, we've been very busy behind the scenes, lately. To begin with, I will have to disappoint you, though - I am not sure what you're referring to. Could you please provide a screenshot, or something? I usually use odd74.proboards.com/posts/recent and it works well for me. I just tested odd74.proboards.com/threads/participated with Opera 47.0.26 on Ubuntu 16.05 LTS, and it also worked without a problem. |

No idea. I can poke around to see if there's a setting or something....

If I click Recent Threads link, I see the newest posts at the top. If I click Recent Threads link, I see the most recently updated threads at the top. On the Recent Threads page: If I hover the mouse pointer over any of the recently updated thread names, I see a URL that looks like this: odd74.proboards.com/thread/12628/hidden-entrances-underworld and clicking the thread name causes the browser to load that URL, with the oldest posts at the top. If I hover the mouse pointer over the New icon to the left of any recently updated thread name, I see a different URL that looks like this: odd74.proboards.com/threads/recent/12628Clicking the New icon causes the browser to load the last/most recent page of the thread, and to then automatically scroll down to the last/most recent post in the page. E.g., the most recent thread appearing for me right now, the URL is odd74.proboards.com/thread/12628/hidden-entrances-underworld?page=1&scrollTo=202490 so it open the last page (page 1) and automatically scrolls right down to the last/most recent post (post number 202490). So the oldest post is at the top, but the browser automatically scrolls down to the most recent post. Is this not what others are seeing? |

Does the URL include a "scrollTo" parameter? It seems plausible that your browser's javascript might be limited from playing with the page URL? Just guessing... |

No, I get the same URL as you.

No, I get the same URL as you. Please do the following as carefully as you can and report back: A. Click recent threads link. B. Hover your mouse pointer over the New icon to the left of the most recently updated thread name. Without clicking it, what URL does your browser say would be visited if you did click it? (Firefox, Chrome, and Vivaldi display this information in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Other browsers will have a similar feature, I'm sure). C. Now, with your eyes on the browser's main address bar, click the New icon. Your browser will load a new page. Did you notice that one URL was displayed briefly, and then quickly changed to another one? D. After the new page has finished loading, what URL is now shown in the browser's main address bar? |
