The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Clicking in the blue dot should take you to your last post.

Here is the idea.
I make a post in a thread and the thread is blue-dotted. I then pal around on another sub-forum for about a week and return to find the thread has grown substantially. I would like to pick up where I left off, but don't remember where I was in the thread when I last read it.
Wouldn't it be keen to link the blue dot to your last post. This will serve as not only a signal to show you've posted there but also a bookmark. Interesting idea?

After this post, I probably won't look at the Circus again for a while. When I do, I just click the little yellow note which takes me to first post after my last visit, which would be my last post.
I suppose if you like pounding the 'Mark All Forums Read' link, this would help
There's a little white(ish) coloured "page" icon just to the left of the name of each thread. This takes you to the last post since you viewed the thread. Just click on it and it takes you to the first post since you last posted or viewed the thread, or it takes you to the first post if you haven't read the thread yet.
Looks like Satan. beat me to it though.
I was think more of a user interface improvement there it takes you to the last post you made. Kind of a cause-effect kind of thing.
== EDIT ==
Aha, and this is where the yellow note fails.
I've already clicked on the thread's end, which took me to the last page, and now wish to backtrack to my last post... It's trivial I guess.
that is tedious, hence this suggestion. i approve of this feature request!
If you haven't read a thread at all, jump to page 33 and make a post, and then fuck off for a week, when you click on the Note when you come back, it will take you to the first post made after your post. (You don't need to have read everything before your post.)
But, I can see that the note may not work for everyone if they read ahead but then for some reason want to just go back to the last post they made, regardless of them reading ahead past that.
Surely we can be trusted with moderator functionality.
It's not like that kind of thing has failed in the past.
Spectacularly.

I guess they will just have to live with the crushing disappointment.

I never knew that.
Do you ever actually moderate anything?
And there is, in fact, a manual that explains the nuances of the software. It's just really fucking long.
Uppity?
writer's block
The subforum that time forgot.

Angry without purpose?
does that do something else already?
oh! shows what i know about forum coding.
Thank you, that is fuckin' delightful.
I scoured the internets for one on marking single threads as read. Came up snake eyes, if anyone has better luck, please share.
