On a thread, going to last comment where you left off

[MJ]

On the previous version of the website, the thread would remember where you last left off. Can this new web app do the same? I can't seem to figure out how.

Jump to new?

Jump to new?

Right. Just above the post window

If you go to the "New Posts" link and click on the thread title link (and you're logged in), it'll take you to the first unread post. It does for me at least.

For example:

New posts

www.early-retirement.org

and scrolling down a bit has the following link in it:

Are you older or younger than others?

Dang, those circles get really tiny when the percentages get down into the small single digits...

www.early-retirement.org

which is the first unread post on that thread for me at that time.

"Jump to new" did the trick. Thanks

In general, it will remember the last post you read. You should only need “Jump to New” if it’s a thread that you haven’t read since before the new software was set up.

When the new software started, I remember an option to mark all as read. That basically told the software that I was current on all threads and accordingly, I haven’t had to use the “Jump to New” very often. I have found it necessary when someone resurrects an old thread.
