View last post in a thread first - make the change permanent.

[Chris Bott]

This is a simple one. Having clicked on a thread title in any list of new posts, I was always taken to the first post of that therad. That's not what I wanted. So to switch this to always take you to the latest post, try this:-

Click on your name (Top right). Go to Account Settings and then click Content View Behaviour. 
Change to - Take me to the latest comment and then hit Save

Thanks for that Dave.  Sorry to be a bit thick, but after I've clicked on my Name, I can't find tye text"Account Settings"

One other query whilst I'm here- where do I find the box to tick for email notifications for replies in threads?

Of course at the moment we have not read anything, so the default action of take you to new comments, which is the ideal one, takes you to the beginning of the thread.

You should see something like this, Tosh

Simple and works a treat.

nice one

a suggestion, collect all these kind of howto / tip / etc - e.g. "make it work like the old one" - in a very obvious thread that you can see easily when logging in!

might stop a lot of "by jove! it doth not resemble ye old one closely" posts! ?

Got the "Account Setting" thanks Chris!

Sorry- the other query- where do I find the box to tick for email notifications for replies in threads?

[Chris Bott]

Once in Account Settings, there's a box on the right called Other Settings. In that box you'll see Notification Settings.

Have a play in there. You should be able to get email notifications for "followed" topics. You'll also have to "Follow" the topics (Threads) that you want notifications about.

To view the last post in a thread you can also just click on the small "bubble" on the far right of the post, I find this most useful rather than always going to the last post every time.  ?
