mrsmackpaul Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Now Im fairly thick as most of you know but for the life of me I cant work out how when I click on a topic how click straight onto the last page like we used to I have to click on the topic the first page opens and then I click onto the last page Obviously I am the only one having this problem must be my upside down computer LOL any ideas anyone Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Hmmm...not sure. When I click on a topic, it automatically goes to the last unread post. I'll look around in the user control panel settings and see if there is something you need to turn on. Any one else have this issue?

tjc transport Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 when i pick a topic with more than one page, i see the drop down to choose what page i want with page numbers showing, and i just click on the highest number to take me to the last page Bulldozers 1 2 3 4 9 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

j hancock Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I thought when you were on the "new content" page on the old setup, it would display the pages and you could hit the last page and go. It was saving one step. With "Unread Content", click the topic and it loads, then click the last page and it loads. Nice that it is quick about it. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

fxfymn Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I posted about this issue on the original thread about the software upgrade. The "go to the new content" command is gone from this version for some reason. You can go to the last page and scroll down to the newest post, but the program does not seem to have the ability to take you directly to the newest post as the old version did. Just slower and more awkward than the old version. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!
