JorgeB Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 This started recently, likely after some forum update, all posts from the same thread are now grouped together in the feed and only the last post is shown, meaning that when you click on it you'll go directly to the last post on that thread, not your first unread post in that thread, so if there were multiple posts I need to scroll up until I find the "Unread replies" line, before if there were multiple post in the same thread they all appeared in the feed, so going bottom to top it would take me directly to the first unread post in that thread, any chance this can go back to how it was? 1 Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 If I click the ball next to the title it goes to the first unread, clicking the title goes to the last post. Not sure if this is what you are seeing or if it is different than before since I usually click the ball Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Maybe your Content View behavior got reset? I use my own feed to filter out forums I don't care for. When I click on the longer title of the thread it seems to still take me to the first unread comment. This is from Account, Account Settings, Content View Behavior, Take me to comments I haven't read. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 And just to clarify, when I look at All Activity, I see all posts in all threads sorted newest first, with earlier posts from a thread also being displayed separately from just the latest one. Quote Link to comment

Yes, that's how it always was for me, not now, and I didn't change anything, AFAIK you can change the default "all activity" display, look for example this thread, there's your last post, but not Brit's, only his reaction. I didn't try to click on the ball for this because I don't usually need to because of this setting, it still works when browsing the forum by section: 1 Quote Link to comment

Ok, let me rummage around in the back end and see if I can find any settings around this. Thanks Jorge! Quote Link to comment
