Is Somebody messing with Forum layout? . . Lost Latest post's.!!!

[AndyGuid]

As a newbie this backward step has certainly bamboozled me!

Why take away functionality that worked so well?

[njhussey]

Just come on to see what's going on here and the latest post bit's gone at the top of the page??? That was what I used to see what was happening at a glance. I certainly won't go trawling through all the forum to see what's new, I simply don't have the time (or the inclination) to do that. Please put it back Lee, it's a step in the wrong direction as far as I can see. Out of interest what was the thinking behind it, how are we to see what the latest posts are without scrolling down through the various sections?

I normally steer well clear of these threads, but honestly the latest posts part of the site is its heart. Everyone will agree its their favourite feature,

Personally its the only thing I use on site... (not to digress, but It used to be even better and has already been reduced down once...)

Anyway, Id really appreciate it if you could put it back to the way it was last week....

thankyou please

ps ... you may also want tot turn down the error reporting on the live environment as its spamming out warnings as the moment

Plus when you manage to find the thread to takes you to post #1 every time, not the last unread post.

So far not one vote for the new / crap look.

If you want to make improvements Lee then lets have embedded pictures.
The post above this has a pic, dump.png but you have to click it and when you return via the back button you are back on post # 1 again.

Started to read that built in a month thread yesterday but gave up as there were so many pictures it got painful after the first few scrolling and clicking.

I have show signature ticked - no signature ?

Glad it's not just me. I thought i'd changed something in my profile settings by accident which had changed the layout!

I've gotta agree with others that removing the most useful part of the main forum page (IMHO) is a bit weird. I guess there must be some logic behind it, but can't for the life of me work out what it is ???

Si.

John, you can click the Close button, bottom right of the pop-up image and it should take you back to the thread position you started from or use the escape key on your keyboard for the same effect.

That works for me, the only thing i find annoying is getting to the last post, i use the column on the right and click on anything of interest, but then have to scroll down to the bottom of the page to go to last comment this gets a bit tiresome, as a rule if i get an e-mail regarding a thread the link takes me to the last post.

There's a setting in your profile to make the post order the other way round, so most recent posts are at the top of the page. That's what I use, so when I click on any of the threads it seems to take me to the most recent post...
