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.

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

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

suprised no ones shouted greasemonkey yet this would be a fair simple script

when someone clicks  the special  "view your last post in this thread" button that the script will add
download http://shoutbox.menthix.net/basicsearch.php?action=search&uid=USER_ID
find what thread the person was going to vist
do a quick regexp to find the correct #pid
redirect the person to that post.

I wouldn't mind adding a new function to showthread.php to find a member's last post in a thread. There's already a way to find the last post board-wide (example), so limiting that to a specific thread wouldn't be difficult.

As for adding a link to the new function, well, maybe dt should handle that.

that would be a good suggestion, especially with really popular/busy topics (eg. Windows Live Messenger (New official name for MSN Messenger 8.0)) which has 20 pages. another suggestion is that you can make specific threads have more priority, like mayb you could have the threads that you visit most in the different sections or all of them in the latest post section at the top underneath the stickeys, then the rest of the threads in the usual order, if any1 knows what i mean...

code:

---

var lastLinks = document.evaluate('//a[contains(.,"»")][contains(@href,"showthread.php?tid=")]', document, null, XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);
var href;

for(var i=0;i<lastLinks.snapshotLength;i++){

href = lastLinks.snapshotItem(i).getAttribute('href');
lastLinks.snapshotItem(i).setAttribute('href',href+ '&uid=4');
}
