In 3.8.0 there was an issue where members, on the last page of the thread, tried to click the "View First Unread" link and were taken to the forumhome instead.
I solved that issue by making a simple template edit:
In SHOWTHREAD Template:
find:
Code:
<a href="$firstunread"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[view_first_unread]" border="0" /></a>
<a href="$firstunread"><strong>$vbphrase[view_first_unread]</strong></a>
And replace with:
Code:
<a href="showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=$thread[threadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[view_first_unread]" border="0" /></a>
<a href="showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=$thread[threadid]"><strong>$vbphrase[view_first_unread]</strong></a>
If anybody has a better solution, I'm all ears!
