Title: Stupid Forum Software Question
Post by: Ben on March 04, 2005, 06:22:31 AM: I've not used this particular forum software before. Is there a place to learn tips/tricks/? For instance, I haven't found a way to "go to newest post" in a thread like on VBB.

I don't know if it behooves us to have a "Technical Tips and Questions" area here like there is on THR. And I hate to even bring it up, because I'm just happy there's a roundtable again and don't want to cause more work for the admins than necessary.

Post by: Ben on March 04, 2005, 09:46:09 AM: Actually the "posts since last visit" isn't the one I was looking for. I'm trying to find the one that, after you're in a thread that has new posts, lets you go to the first new post in that individual thread. I like that feature for when a thread gets to be multiple pages long.

They have some documentation, though I don't know if they will have what you are looking for.

...that what you were referring too?
