Due to ongoing maintanince and upgrades the forum will be closed overnight from 10:45pm Wednesday and possibly also at times the following two nights.

Sorry for the short notice but it’s work that needs doing and best when there are fewest people viewing the forum.

Cheers
JK

I find it very inconvenient. I only come out to play around midnight.


You'll be fine when the clocks go forward again. It goes darker sooner so you'll be able to get out of the coffin earlier.
 
JK, great work on the improvements. Just one question. We used to have a button “first unread post”. That was so handy. Am I right in thinking that has disappeared? I access via an iPad so appreciate I may not have all the functionality of a pc.

Thanks for everything......

By all means not every time but often I have to log in again when using my iPhone?
I think that you have answered this point before and so my apologies.

Do you mean the first unread post in a particular thread, ie going to the next post from the last one you looked at? If so it is the little icon of a double down arrow immediately to the left of the thread title. Click on it, but when it sends you to the page just wait a few seconds as it will then automatically scroll down to said post.

I'd also like to solve this problem, but I don't see the icon Muzza.

I'm viewing via a laptop. Any ideas?

Sorry mate, I'm using laptop too but the icon is there for me - a little blue circle with two white, well, more triangles than arrows.

Ah... I got it. I was looking in the wrong place.

If anyone else is as thick as me, Muzza means 'just to the left of the thread title' BEFORE you open it. In other words, where you have the list of threads within (say) the PNE Discussions forum.

Thanks for the tip.

Nice 1 fellas..Most helpful..

PS.. If you hover on the little icon it says " go to first post " when it actually takes you to the last one. Either way, this makes life much easier.Thanks. :thumbsup:

Yes thanks for that. I use an android phone and it works great. Just had no idea what these things were.

Clever git! 😀 Nice work though, didn't even know that myself and I'm supposed to be a Mod!

You catching the surf cha? Watch out for them Sharks! Been a few nips recently so I've read.

Not sure anyone did. Jake was asked a couple of times and gave the impression that the " last post " function had gone with the upgrade..... Muzza for president..🙂
 
Worth just noting that it only works when you're logged in. If you're logged out, it obviously doesn't know where you were up to last time, so just takes you to the last post in the thread.

Ha, I saw someone else post it back when the upgrade first happened, makes such a difference!

Surf's been flat for a few weeks now, gutted, But yeah, them sharks have been hanging round a bit too.
