Forum, new posts button

Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2007 5:55 pm Post subject: Forum, new posts button

Just a small point I've noticed. The little orange go to new posts button here on the forum doesn't seem to take you to the new posts - I'm guessing it should point to an anchor.

Which buttons do you mean? The goto new posts link seems to work for me.

The little orange page with a black arrow pointing to it from the left which is displayed to the left of a topic list.

It gives a url parameter of &view=newest but doesn't scroll to the appropriate post for me.

Sounds like some more rewrite rule tweaking is needed, I'll take a look.

Hopefully that's fixed for you now.

Thanks,

Strange, it's working for me. Can you copy the URL that isn't working for you (e.g. the address the icon is supposed to be leading too).

Thanks,

Andrew

Sure; here's an example:

I've had another go.

Thanks,

[Waits for someone to make a new post, in which case he will remember not to view the post before the forum list so that he can test the aforementioned button]

That's what I was waiting for too.

The link took me half way down this thread rather than to the bottom as I would have expected.

...but when I click this link:

I get taken to the last post as I would expect.

It worked for me that time but not previously.

This could be due to a different URL format being used depending on how people access the button. I would need to know the one which isn't working in order to fix it!

Worked for me this time - I got taken to MaddogBattie's post which was the first unread one for me.

Nice one Andrew.
