Have you noticed this?

Post by ~reefchik~ »

Not bustin' on anyone, I just thought this was sort of funny and odd at the same time. :lol:

I have a habit of clicking the little yellow arrow to go read the latest unread post on threads I'm interested in.
Lately, it will take you to a completely different thread. How in the world?? (rhetorical question, don't really expect an answer, lol)

Purplecandle noticed something similar. I tried to duplicate it.. but couldn't so can't really relate.

Where is this little yellow arrow?

ohhh they just did a back up ... the links are dead now and some more posts are gone.
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

I have had all sorts of strange things, but not that one - I do not look forward to seeing it.

J-P - the yellow symbol is just before the thread title on the VNP page. It is another "could not live without" item - it saves a lot of time when you are doing "View new posts" - which is the only way I travel.

Typically I just go to view new posts and click on the last page if I have been following it. But yes, that is a neat little feature. :)

Does the same thing on First Unread Post (the text link, once you're in a thread, found on the first post of each thread).
For example go to the Methylene Blue thread, click on First Unread Post and it takes you to Need your help, please! :lol: Which is where the little yellow arrow takes you, too.

It does the same thing to me!

It either takes me to a post in the hospital section or in the brackish puffers section.

Yes, but that is a two-step process for me, whereas just clicking on the yellow icon is one-step - a time saving on my pokey DSL.

I just got to this thread using the "first unread post" icon click... from a post reguarding IP addresses in the mod chat areas.

BTW, it can be ultimately defeated by using the "mark topics read" button - the next time a first unread post icon appears, it has another chance to be correct.
