Sorry if someone’s posted this already.
When I click “next thread” it simply reloads the thread I’m already reading. Using IE 5.
I’ve posted that, but not sure if it got read. It seems to happen when the thread you are on is the one with the most recent post (because if I click on the link to the forum when it happens, it’s the first listed thread). Of course, I don’t click on the forum link every time, so that’s not necessarily the only time it happens.
Also, I think “Next Thread” has occasionally taken me to the next older instead of the next newer thread, but each time that happens, I think that maybe I clicked on “Last Thread” by mistake and not noticed. This phenomenon I know I’ve seen posted elsewhere, but I might as well let the mods know it’s more than one person.
It is working, it is designed to take you to whatever thread has a newer post than the one you are in. If you are looking at the thread with the newest post it will take you nowhere. If you hit last thread it will take you to the thread that has the next newest post, and next thread will then take you back. If you look at it from the poin tof view of the thread selction page. The next thread button moves you towards the top of the list and the last thread moves you down the list. I hope this has helped.
No, sorry, it has not helped, because you did not understand what is being said.
Scenario 1: Reader is on Topic A, clicks “Next Thread”, gets redirected back to Topic A. No new posts have been added to Topic A. On the occasions that I have clicked the link to the forum, the threadlist shows that Topic A is the top thread (i.e. the thread with the newest post). This may be what is happening in ruadh’s case, also.
Instead of redirecting back to Topic A when there are no threads with newer posts, would it be possible to either (1) get a page that says there are no newer threads, as on the UBB incarnation or (2) get redirected to the forum?
Scenario 2: Reader is on Topic A, clicks “Next Thread”, and goes to Topic B. Reads Topic B, clicks “Next Thread” and goes back to Topic A as if “Last Thread” has been pressed. In this scenario, no new posts have been added to Topic A and, if you check the forum’s list of threads, Topic A is still below Topic B.
