Hi Wayne,
Dennis' Minimig thread shows that it's a pain to re-navigate longer threads to the latest post every time you come to see what's new (click thread, click last page, scroll down).
Since the posts are indexed anyway: would it be much trouble to change the 'Last Post' column on the 'Home' and 'Latest Forum Posts' pages to links to that very post? For the regular amiga.org reader it'd mean much easier reading - hit the last post and then scroll up one or two messages to see what's new.
I'd appreciate that extremely! ;-)

We had it that way for a while and got nothing but complaints...

hit the last post and then scroll up one or two messages to see what's new.
That would be nice if you visit a few times a day, but if you visit twice a week, you'd still have to read up on a lot of messages if a topic is very hot.
It would be better if there would be a link like "got to first unread post", as a lot of forum packages use. I don't know though if that can be easily implemented in this forum.

Yeah, I always hated going to a thread and start reading the first post and then finding out it was the 50th post instead.

Maybe there is some misunderstanding. Have a look how it is implemented at Amigaworld.net.
It is much more comfortable if you can directly jump to the page you are interested in.
The page numbers show up on the front page and also in the "Latest Post" list.
