Automatic jump to last post.

Post by LarsMac »

I am on several forums, all using some version of the same interface.

When you view a list of threads, it shows when the last post was made, and by whom.

There is a button that you can select which should take you to the last post in the thread.

In most of the forums, this works well, but for some reason, here, it always takes me to the OP.

IS that as designed, or is it perhaps a bug?

It's a bug and one that's annoying me no end.

The butterfly for go to last unread works fine but the frog for go to last post is unreliable and usually, as you say, takes you to the opening post.

Oddly enough, since I mentioned it, it seems to be working, for now.

I only see frogs.

Ahh. I never really noticed them as functional items.
