Question about topics with multiple-page responses

[ceilidhdog]

Being only semi-literate computerwise, I have a question about the workings of this Web site. Is there any way to jump to the last page of a topic in order to read the most recent posts? Having to go start on page 1 and go forward by 2 or 3 pages at a time on a topic that has dozens of pages of responses is inconvenient and time-consuming. If I'm missing a simple answer to this question, please enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

When you see a topic with multiple pages, it will show page 1, 2, 3, etc. You can click on any of these numbers to go directly to that page. If there are a larger number of pages (i.e. the MPG Happy Talk topic with 89 pages) you can click on 89 and go to the newest one.

You also reach the first unread post by clicking on the link above the name on the right of the desktop version.

 

You can tell your browser that you "read" all posts by clicking on the topic icon on the far left. This makes it easier to get the the newest posts with the link.

On topics with a lot of pages, you will usually see something like this just below the topic title: "Page 1 of 89 1 2 3 NEXT »" with the current page highlighted in green. See that little arrow to the right of "NEXT"? Click it. It will take you directly to the LAST page. Once you are off the first page, the word "PREV" appears to the left of the number 1, then about on page 4, you will also see an arrow pointing to the left on the left of "PREV" which will always take you back to page 1.

Another thing you can do is click on the "View New Content" link at the top right of the forum page. When you do, you will be presented with all topics that have new information for the time period you select on the left of the page.

Many, many thanks to all who replied. I've been educated, and I appreciate it.

When you're on each forum page, you will see a dark dot next to each topic when there are unread posts in it. If the topic is one you've created or replied to, the dot is replaced with a star. You can click on the dot or star and it will take you right to the first unread message.
