» Quick access to the last post

Since there's been a lot of updates to the site recently, I figured I'd give this suggestion from elsewhere its own thread... Would help reading this forum tremendously, especially threads like "Additions to your collection.." and such.

Quote: "smoked_caramel"​It is actually "Quick access to the last post" which is somewhat useful. It really just takes you to the very last post as far as I can tell. On forums built using some popular board engines it is always possible to go to the first unread post - that's what we need.
​A search on the forum reveals that this might be the only post about this - a "go to first unread post" is by far the biggest wish I have for this forum. It would make especially the longer threads so much easier to follow if I with the single click of a button could be directed to the first unread post in a thread, instead of having to scroll to the bottom and then scrolling up slowly until I see a post I can recognise as read.

I can't believe that this still isn't a thing - must be the only forum I read on without this feature :8D
To improve your morale to this site I agree with you.
Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.
I agree 100%

Please change current "Quick access to last post" to "First unread post" if possible.

It would be a sweet shortcut to implement & what we typically see on most forums (so it must be achievable).

In the meantime, under Firefox Chrome Opera, you can use https://distill.io/
it can monitor multiple forums from multiple sites.

Probably a silly question but how would Numista know which was the last post you had read in any particular thread? It might be able to go to the last post that was in the thread the last time you looked at it but that's all.

For private messages received and not read, it suffices to read them, preferably in order of arrival
For private messages sent unread it would be nice to be able to sort them read / unread
For forum messages: see above.

It would also be nice if when somebody modifies an existing post that it would show up as a Non read post on the forum index.
I will probably be fluent in Tokelauan before this is implemented. And I have just begun. :P

🤔I did not see this and I created another topic: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic129233.html

Can be added

  • a link to the last reply, converting the text of green square in a link,
  • a link to the first new reply, added an icon “New” (marron square).
Wanted & swap list (euro coins & world coins, exonumia and banknotes circulated) https://goo.gl/AQjfKp - I have euro & world CC coins for swap.

Good to have this bumped now and again. It's now been 7½ years!

Coming up on 9 years! Still the only forum out of the many that I use that doesn't have this instrumental feature.

Right, Tokelauan. Time to pick it up again! 😅
