When going back to a thread that you have previously posted in, sometimes if alot has been said, it's hard to find your last post, is there a link, or could there possibly be a link that directs your to your last post in the chosen thread?

This way you know what has been said since your last visit, and you don't have to flick through the pages trying to find you last post.

I know that i could simply try to remember the page number, but when you have posted in a number of threads this can become quiet confusing, any other ideas would be much appreciated also.

feel free to call me dumb

I've seen this feature on other boards...

Click on your profile, across from Posts click "Find", look for the post and click on it, when you do, make sure you don't scroll and it will automatically find your post (the closer to the top the newer the post).

Another method can be to click Search, at the top of any forum page then.
- Type in the name of the thread in keywords
- Type your username in the username field
- On "Search In" select subjects
- Click Search.

Now select the post you wish to view (the closer to the top the newer the post), and do not scroll while the page loads, and it will move the page to the exact post.

It's not exactly what you want (as it takes slightly longer) but it gets the same results.

Thats Great, it will serve the purpose I was looking for, thanks Anubis

although it would be better if there was a simpler feature (if possible, don't wanna dwell on this)for instance......

You can click the icon (and similar icons) in the thread listings to go to the first unread post since your last visit.

thats fine, but im meaning to go back to your own personal last post.

what anumbis told me was fine, but im just tryna think simple lol

Clicking the icon I pointed out will put you right in that place, just before 'all what has been said since your last visit'.

I don't really see the need for this; Anubis' method seems to work well enough.

Anubis method is what I wanted, it's just seems to be a long way round. I don't know how many people would agree with me on that, but it was just a thought. anyways, the ideas there. it was certainly worth putting forward.

its cause our boards are still old mybb now has a number in every post @ the top right that says uour post number in that thread and it is also a link, so you can just bookmark that link

but to keep bookmarking would be so annoying, is there any chance this might be a feature in the future, i spose i could live without it for now
