Gromit Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Just wondering if anyone else noticed this. You know the orange box at the beginning of a topic, that takes you to the last unread message? I noticed in the last month or two, that it takes me to the last or second last post, rather than to my last unread post. I'm pretty sure this used to work. For example, if there's a new topic with a few pages on it that I haven't read at all, clicking the box will take me to the last page, rather than the first page. Is it just me, or am I missing something? Anyone else having similar problems?

Gromit Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 It is youYou are missing something. It's not happening to anyone else. Ok, I'm definitely not imagining it. I clicked on Bish's SVA bobtail thread today, not having looked at it since it reappeared a few days ago, and it took me to the lat page. (BTW, terrible news that) Maybe it's cause I'm running firefox, but it's a bug and the rest of you just haven't noticed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I run Firefox and have experienced no such bug. Are your cookie settings enabled? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white90 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 why should we know they take me to the last unread post every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Yep, cookies and JS enabled on my machine. Must try it on my Linux box. DefcoL, they should take you to the last unread post of a topic, so you can catch up on any unread posts since you last logged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 what orange squares? I've always wondered what the orange box meant. Now I know, it makes sense. The orange box is in front of the thread title on the main page. So for this thread it's in front of "forum question" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
