iv`e always had a hard time finding the last post in my thread ..
It's not happening to me. I first click on "Todays Posts" then click on the little round blue thing to the left of each thread I want to read. That takes me to the first new post.....:):)Quote:

The place I noticed it was Falcon's 49MoreDoor thread - clicked on the last page, and it came up with his initial post, with pictures, followed by his update on wheels, etc. Like I said, very confusing why it changed?? Gremlins!
I have the same problem every time it goes to post #1 it started last night I GUESS IF TOU CAN'T MAKE THE FORUM WORK RIGHT YOU CAN SPEND YOUR TIME ADDING STUPID SHIT LIKE THE GARAGE THAT DOESN'T WORK EITHER THATS THE REASON SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DROPPED OUT AND DON'T POST ANY MORE ...TED
That's exactly where I noticed it too! :LOL:Quote:

"Little ROUND Blue thing" ??? When I click of Todays Posts, I see a list of all the new posts the text in blue and I click on the text.. I tried to do a screen capture, wouldn't work.Quote:

If you hover the mouse over that dot it says "Go to first new post" or something like that, and it skips going to the initiating entry. Must be a new feature, Brent?Quote:

That Garage Forum - it wouldn't work after several attempts after Bill told me where to go (often:o) - and I don't care:rolleyes::rolleyes: Brent will figure it out, then I'll add mine:D
Maybe it's just there so people can read the initial post, check the date of the post, and respond to the original question??? Some threads get so sidetracked by the time it's got about a dozen entries the original question is being totally ignored!!!!
Nice of you to drop in and complain, Ted!!!! Positive input occasionally would be nice!!Quote:

Wow, thanks for mentioning that one. I have always clicked on the last page listed, but then have to scroll to the bottom to see the latest post. The blue dot is a direct shot! Learned something today, which is a good thing.Quote:

Let me know if you think I should disable it or not.
Hoss, look back at response #8.Quote:

I think you should take the site back to where it used to be---
Took me a while sinse I`m PC disabled, but got some pics in the garage with a whole lot of screaming... @@#$#*&^:CRY::whacked::DQuote:

So simple, even the most jaded of naysayers (no,not you) can do it with ease :D

Glad it helped!
Also, I think the "blue dot" should be a blue oval for us Ford guys....:)
Yeah Bill, but if I have General Settings set to "Display Oldest First" (to put them in chronological order) now I get the first post out of sequence, followed by the newest addition. That is, unless I use Randy's (TechnoWizard's) "blue dot" tip to go straight to the newest information. Now if we can get that blue dot to be an oval..... BTW, Brent acknowledged that he changed the way things display, (reply #17 above, and in his PM reply to me he said that he had just made the change in the past few days).Quote:

I'd say this test was a dud! :LOL:
Hopefully, the mods will hear their audience and put it back!:3dSMILE:
And yes, Mr. Moderator, us old farts aren't happy with surprises!:LOL: Perhaps a little notice next time if it isn't to much to ask!:3dSMILE:
signed, the peanut gallery!:D
Guess I have to be a bit contrary with the rest.... I like the post of the original thread at the top of the page!!! People will then remember what the original post was about and what the original poster's questions are or it's intent and maybe posts won't get all sidetracked, hijacked, and cluttered up with junk that has no relevance to the purpose of the thread.....
I'm a little late to the party. But a little communication and advanced warning for the users from the mods and/or admin would help most of us with the shock of change.
Advance notice plus the ability to turn the feature on or off in General Settings would be ideal, IMHO.Quote:
