Go to last read post working???

[diver_paula]

Hello.

Typically I hit the small right arrow in the 'last post' column. This used to take me to the last post I read / the last post made since I last logged onto Scubaboard. A couple days ago (maybe 4 or 5) this changed and is now taking me directly to the last post in the thread.

Is this a change with how Scubaboard is working? Did I inadvertantly change something in my options?

Please help! This is really annoying.

Nothing changed. Chances are you are clicking links after your session has already updated (15 minutes after you visit). In this case the system no longer knows what posts are new and simply sends you to the last post, just like it would if you clicked the link on a 3 month only thread.

Thank you for the information.

I've heard there is an option to make it so the board doesn't time out? If so, then I could hit 'mark all read' when I'm done each time. However, I can't find it. Is there such an option? And if so, where?

There is no such option -- our system has to update your login session otherwise you would still see posts from 2001 as being new.
