    Go to last unread post

    Steve...........When in a forum, there used to be an arrow at the top of the posts that allowed us to go directly to the last post we read. Saved a lot of time instead of scrolling. Mine went away today. Any idea where it went?

    It's complicated and all a matter of timing. The arrow appears when the software detects there are new messages since your last visit. It writes a cookie with the date and time when you visit the board . This resets 15 minutes after your last activity on the board (actually clicking, not just reading.) So even if you haven't read a particular thread or forum, the new message icons will go away.

    This has happened to me several times when I started reading the board and then got distracted for a while.
