How to create a link that takes you to the last read post in a thread?
I have quite a few links to threads in the subforum description but they all go to the first page. I know you can post a link to a certain page but how do I make it....relative or chaning so it would go to the last read post by any random member?

Hello rhe,
You are able to create a button instead of a link which directs you to the last post in a topic. To do that, please go to:
1. Administration Panel (advanced mode)
2. Display Tab
3. Pics management - advanced mode (on the left, under Pictures and Colors)
4. Select "Mini-icons" tab
5. Fill in an image URL for the fields "Last post link" and "Last post link - New"
They will create a button next to the topic that allows you to jump straight to the last post.
Regards,
Base

I already have that image there. But I have several links to threads and I want them all to go to the last post in that certain thread.
I have the links in the subforum description.

EDIT: Yes this is possible actually.
To do that, you will need to add ?view=newest at the end of each of your URLs.
For example, this topic would be: https://help.forumotion.com/t87323-how-to-create-a-link-that-takes-you-to-the-last-read-post-in-a-thread?view=newest

You're welcome! Although, you can only use that link if there are actually new posts in the topic. If there aren't any, then you will receive the message:
No new posts since your last visit

Oh thanks! Will try it out later

You're welcome! But make sure that you have read my warning in the above post. Tell me if it works.

I think it does. The "posts since last visit" thing is something I used since my first day foruming. I notice things well.
