Hi,

I follow some regularly update threads like the LAV Filters, MPC-HC & ffdshow threads.

Is there any way i can make a bookmark in my browser to directly go to the very last post in these threads, instead of opening the thread, click [Last] on pages & then click the [Link] item on the last post, and only then bookmark the page, please ?

Click on the > image/link in the "Last Post" column instead of the thread name to open the thread. You can also use the down-carat link next to the thread name to go to the first unread post.

Oh thanks, i didn't even notice that small > image before.
Guess, since it's a changing link, there's no way to make a permanent bookmark then.

Isn't there something like :

There is no vBulletin option for the last post, the url for the last post is calculated dynamically on the index pages.

However there is an option for "the first unread post", "?goto=newpost", which defaults to the last post if there are no unread posts.

Build a bookmark url that looks like this :- http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=164586 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=164586), the t=<number> set the thread you are interested in.

If there are any unread post in a thread, you can quickly grab a bookmark from the little blue square on the left side of the index page.
