Finding my way to last poster

Can't you just fix your preferences to have the posts with newest first? That's what I do. It works for me.

Or flip the whole thread.

Clicking on blue names takes me to profiles. Clicking on black names does nothing. I don't think I've understood the problem yet

Black names don't have a profile, Bags.

I think she means clicking on the name in the list before you enter the selected thread. !!!!!!!! That makes it sound even more confusing

I know what you mean anno

Thanks for fixing the Bookmark problem - mine is working today.

Glad someone does, Jodi. You and I seem to be on the same wavelength this morning.

Oh, yes I've just twigged - it's if you're looking in 'last hour' or 'last day' etc., not active.

Oh good. So glad it's not just me.

Isn't it clicking on a thread title that takes you to the thread? And if you have your 'customise' preferences set to have the newest posts at the top, you'll see the last post first. If it's a long thread, the OP is there at the top in blue and then the latest post.

Oh, thanks, ana. I didnt know that. Dont use them much. Goes to check....

Yep. It works if you use "last hour". Not on Active or Last Day, which behave as described above (or below, depending which way up you have the threads).

Gosh the things you learn thanks ana and to think I have been on here since the beginning makes it all the more embarrassing.

Clicking on last hour and the name of the most recent poster isn't taking me straight to that post, and hasn't for about a week. The bookmark is working again, though, so the threads I have already looked at are behaving, as long as I've bookmarked them.

Photos still not uploading on my profile, though, unless I want to replace one with just one more, rather than add a few....any progress on that, tech?

Yes it is a pain on long threads when you cannot go straight to last poster GNHQ. The "flip" function just adds to confusion for me.
Help us please. This has been happening for several days now.

Jess, you can go straight to last poster if you customise the thread as I described above in this thread. I always go straight to the last post and I never have to flip a thread when I'm logged in because I've 'arranged' it in advance.

Go to 'customise' at the top of a thread and take it from there.

You only have to do it once, not for each thread.

Lots. The only "preferences" I can find are on My Gransnet and nothing there of relevance. But there is sunshine in my eyes...

Don't you have a customise button next to the flip button?

ok thank you Bags, found it, it works. Now have to get used to reading threads upside down. Good the brain I guess. Cheers.

Yes. It feels a bit wacky going back to reading downwards once you've got used to it, IYSWIM.

If you choose 50 posts per page it doesn't take long to scroll down anyway - not upside down!

I have 100 posts per page AND upsidedown.
