...doesn't work. I always get taken to the first post, not the first unread post.

Not sure I can do anything about this one, it seems to the default behaviour of the software (we haven't changed this one).

Thanks,

Andrew

I remember bringing this up months/years ago, and you fixed it.

Not a biggie, but the point of that button on forums is to save logged-in users from having to scroll down though already-read posts. A bit annoying if you like to keep up with disucsisons regularly.

Can you give an example of a link that doesn't work?

Thanks,

Could you post again? I stupidly clicked on the email notification link so can't test.

Sure, here's a test post.

Was still taken to the first post of the thread, but URL is now different:

Hi,

Struggling with this one, quite a few rewrite rules here. I'll take another look later, normally spot problems straight away when I give it a bit of time.

Thanks,

David,

I haven't been able to crack this one. I believe it functions correctly now, but it does still redirect to the different URL format.

Thanks,

Andrew

The newest link just worked when I viewed from the forum page, but from http://community.nethosted.co.uk/search.php?search_id=newposts I get a 404.

What's the link that 404s?

It would've been something like http://community.nethosted.co.uk/t3320.html&view=newest , but it seems to be working now.

Hmm, indeed that link works. I can't see any in the newposts list that 404.
