Title: Discussion board feature request
Post by: Carlo Didier on June 18, 2015, 01:38:17 PM
I post this here as it's not directly related to iMatch itself, but the forum here.
I usually look at the "Recent unread topics" accessed through the link "Show unread posts since last visit".

There, I click on a topic title to see what it's about or what's new if I already lokked at that topic before.

I'd like to automatically get to either the first new post that I haven't seen yet or simply the last post, instead of always going to the top of the thread, i.e. the first post, and then have to scroll down or even go to a second page to get to the posts that are new for me.

I know from other forums that it's possible, but it surely depends on the forum software that is used.

If you click on the "New" icon instead of the topic title, the first unread post will be scrolled into view.

For what it is worth, I usually enter the IMatch forums through this URL:

https://www.photools.com/community/index.php?action=unread

That gives me immediately a list of unread messages.

Hope this helps,

Or this:

https://www.photools.com/community/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0

But as Mario said, the "NEW" button is your friend.

Or set your forum profile to "Show most recent posts at the top" (to be found in Look and Layout).

Eh, never realized that was a button ... always thought it was just a label indicating that new posts were available in that thread ...
