Question to the Board Coder(s)

[Zaniac]

Hey there. I was wondering if one could tell me how you get the feature added for members to see threads from the place they viewed them last.

Example: I click on a thread with 3 posts. I leave the thread, come back a few days later having deleted my cookies, sign in and click the thread again to view new posts. Upon opening of said thread, it jumps to the last post I viewed when I left previously. Is there a special code for this that you know of, or is it an add-on option for the template made by the company this board comes from?

I appreciate any help you can give me on this subject! Thanks

The boards are set up to jump to the last un-viewed post, or the last post if you have already viewed everything.

However, if you leave the thread it will assume that you read everything before you left. The next time you enter the thread, it will take you to the most recent post. Hope that helps!

Oh, I know how it works, I was just wondering if that's a feature provided by Proboards, or if it's an actual code that could be added to any forum. Thanks!

Well, kinda both....It's not a standard feature, but it's a code created for Proboards. I'm not sure if it could work in a non-proboards forum, though.
