Adding a "New Posts" link to bottom of threads.

[58D]

I would like to add a New Posts link to the bottom each thread. The reason for this is that it is quite annoying, after reading a long thread, to have to scroll to the top of the page to go back to the new posts page.

I gave it a try myself by adding the link in the Show Thread template, but nothing showed up. What is the correct way to do this? Thanks.

Anybody?

I wish I had the answer as I am interested in this as well.

Where abouts do you want it exactly? Also, is it just a new threads link or other things as well?

In my case even a hyperlink at the bottom where it currently says Mark Forums Read - View Forum Leaders that says New Posts Since Last Visit or something similar. Thanks Kerry-Anne. Having a full top nav bar duplicated at the bottom would be perfect but I would imagine an awful lot of work.

It's not a lot of work when you can do your Blue Peter impression and say "Here's one I prepared earlier"

Another place to consider it is in the center, right there at the bottom:

? Previous Thread | New Posts | Next Thread ?

That's where I have it and my members like it a lot.

Discussion of this idea here.

I just added

PHP Code:

<b><a href="search.php?do=getnew">New Posts</a></b> 


into the appropriate spot in SHOWTHREAD template.

Link doesn't work for me... has this mod thread been removed?
