G...

Okay, this at least should be fixed now.

Still not working for me, usually just takes me to the newest contribution in a thread instead of the one after the last post I read.

That's what is meant to happen though. It should always take you to the last post in the thread (i.e. the newest post).

It used to take you to the post after the last one you read (i.e. could be several pages back, but providing you hadn't signed out - or had just signed in - it would take you to the last one you read.)

Any chance of getting this fixed? The lack of a last new post feature is starting to do my head in.

I think there may be some confusion over which button we're talking about. I think the problem is not with the 'Last page' choice (ie '1,2,3...last page' on the right hand side at the top), but actually with the 'View First Unread' button (on the top left, under the 'New Reply' button). This used to take you to the post immediately after the last one you looked at in a previous session. Now it seems to take you to a random post either at the start or halfway through, but always one that has already been read. Does that make sense?

Yes.....

Okay, I think this is finally fixed. Can someone please confirm?

It's hard to say. The last week's worth of posts now appear as unread in all the forums. When I go to first new post it takes me to the start of the thread or a random point in the middle of it. Maybe when I start a new session things will be back to normal?

Not likely. I've changed a setting that means vBulletin keeps track of what threads and posts you have read in the database rather than a cookie file on your computer as it did before. So that explains why everything should now appear as unread even though you have previously read it, but from now on it should keep track correctly as long as you are logged in when you read the posts/threads in question.

Make sense?
