Clicking on Thread and Only Reading New Posts?
Thought this issue might get more exposure in OMNI than in another forum...

Is there a way to click on a thread and be automatically taken to the most-recent posting (or, better yet, that posting made just after you last "left" FT)?

Currently, all I know to do is to click on the last page or so of a thread, and then scroll down through that page to pick up on the postings that I have not yet seen.

But surely there is a better way, isn't there?

"View First Unread"...upper left, right above date/time flag (topmost post on page). Is that what you're looking for?

Click on the symbol at the beginning of the thread title. If you hover your mouse over it, a popup says what the symbol stands for.

Thanks! Sadly, I had never noticed the "view first unread" link, nor the symbol at the beginning of the thread title---I just thought it was part of the thread title.

Hey, I didn't know about that one!!!! I bet there's a few other tricks that I'm not aware of...

There is also an option under the "MyFlyerTalk" "Edit Options" to make the newest posts the default for all threads.

This seems a good topic for Technical Issues so we're transferring it there.

Please follow at it's new home.

Thanks.
