Why have we got a "go to last post" button..

[Redder Lurtz]

...when all it does it take you halfway through the thread, whether or not you've added a post since your last visit to the thread? It's nothing I've done as the same thing happens on my work computer. Think someone else mentioned it here too.

 

This, along with the now defunct search button, irks me and causes me distress.

Mine works. When Firefox updated to version 5 it stopped working so I went back to 4 and all is well again.

Might give that a go. Although we're on ie at work. I think IT might be less than accommodating to my request to convert the entire company to FF4 on the basis that my "last post" button doesn't work. The business case would make amusing reading though.

[RedKnight]

Bottom line, mate. It's not the forum, it'll be a web browser issue.

[Captain]

Oh it's the forum alright.

[RedKnight]

Except it's not.

There are portable versions of Firefox (for running from USB keys etc) that can help you around that.

It works fine on Firefox 5 for me. Always has.

Yes, this browser that works with every other forum i visit, that's what's at fault, not the forum that's had this same issue for a few years. :whatever:

[RedKnight]

You should deffo use those other forums more.

Maybe if enough people took out a 6-month ST for only £12, it could help pay for a solution.*

 

 

*That is not singling you out Dude.

[Captain]

Trumo, the solution is already identified and corrected in the forum software by IB. I'm sure TLW will benefit from it in future versions.

What is IB?

 

As for future versions, I doubt I'll be upgrading any time soon as I tested Vbulletin 4 and it was horrible. I've no intention of installing that.

[Captain]

IB are the owners of vBulletin.

[dave u]

Ah yes, they took over it and it went to shit. I remember reading all kinds of complaints from vb users when I was trying to figure out exactly what the fuck was going on with version 4 and why was it so shit.

 

That was a year or so ago though, so hopefully they've managed to improve things a bit since then.

[Red Phoenix]

Had to have a laugh at that tag.

[Welsh]

Just for the record, firefox's version 6 (most recent update) has not fixed there fucking bug, pieces of shit.

 

Back to version 4 it is.

Working fine for me using FF6....

 

EDIT: Well, it's working, sort of, on some threads, not at all on others....

[Allan]

Threads that I last checked using FF5 did not redirect correctly, at first, but after the threads had been updated and I went back to read them, the redirection worked fine.

 

New threads I have read using FF6, and subsequently gone back to once they've been updated, have directed successfully.

[Joe Le Taxi]

It works for me as well. I think after updating clearing all your caches/cookies or whatever will fix it.

I didn't bother clearing cache/cookies. It just worked. Sort of.

[Barzini]

Updated to FF6, cleared the cache only and the last post button now appears to be working.

[Welsh]

I'll have to give the cache clearing ago when I get home from work then, because it didn't work for me last night.

[Jennings]

Chrome seems ok

Scratch that. It seemed better but it's still not working properly.
