Why, when I click on a new Topic (Thread?) I haven't opened before, does it take me to the Last post on the Last page? I expect to go to the First post on the First page!

Is this something to do with "me", or is it you guys?

And no, it isn't recent, it's "always" done this, and it's always bugged me, but I just haven't bothered with asking before now ...

... thanks ...

If you click on the thread title on the left side of the window it should take you to the beginning of the thread but if you click on the last post column it will take you to the last post. If you are clicking on the left hand side of the window and getting a result as if you clicked on the right then perhaps you should consider that your computer is the subject of Demonic Possession - or just blame a well known Operating System manufacturer.

I'd like to helpfully point out that this column is helpfully titled "Last Post".

Alligator ...... is that you?

OK ... this happens when I'm on the Community/Boards "main page", where The Styx, Heaven, Purgagtory, etc. are listed, and what I figure is the most recent topic in a particular thread is on the right-hand side. When I click on that topic it goes to the Last post on the Last Page.

I figure it's likely Demonic Technology Possession. I'm a neo-Luddite and technology and I have a love/hate relationship -- I don't understand technology and it doesn't understand me and I'm not willing to "play" with it to figure it out. So it "plays" with me ...

So it's not a big deal really, but it is a nuisance.

This page?

Don't you have a heading at the top of that column that says 'Last Post'?

Now you've made me feel like more of an idiot than I already know I am. [brick wall]

Thanks a lot. [Mad]

Yep, you're right. I wasn't paying attention. I was making assumptions. [Disappointed]

Nevermind. Go back to what you were doing ...

And have a great day while you're at it! It's 11:00am here in Idaho USA (you know, one of the gun-loving states) ... don't know what time it is "Over There" ... [Smile]

You don't look any more of an idiot than most people around here... [Biased]

6.45pm and just finished dinner.
