Go to last post and last unread post buttons

You know the arrows that take you to the first unread post in a thread, and the arrows after the person's name who made the last post that are supposed to take you directly to the last post in the thread, well neither one of them is working on my new default setting. They take you to the top of the last page. Any clue how to fix it??

double check on your postbit tamplate, and find:

<a name="post$post[postid]"></a>

if there's no code like that, then add in wherever u want on your postbit template.

It wasn't in there so I added it and it didn't do anything

It's in one of your showthread templates

Mist, can you expand on that alittle? Would I be looking for

PHP Code:

<a name="post$post[postid]"></a> 


in the showthread templetes, or something else and what would I need to do to fix it?

Mist.....or anyone for that matter. This issue is still unresolved at my site.....please help

Firstly check that this is in your showthread_firstunread template:

PHP Code:

<a href="$newpostlink">Go to first unread post</a> <a href="$newpostlink"><img src="{ imagesfolder}/firstnew.gif" border="0" alt="first unread" align="absmiddle"></a> 


(Ignore the gap between the { and imagesfolder

Then check you have this in your showthread template:

PHP Code:

$firstunread

The showthread_firstunread template is right.

The showthread template has $firstunread but there's other code around it like this......

PHP Code:

<td><smallfont>$pagenav $firstunread&nbsp;</smallfont></td>

Do you have more than one style?

Make sure you looking in the right template set
