Ed, Another Question

[society]

Ed, I know this question has been asked several times by me and others.

Can you please, please find a way to make one 'land' on the most recent or last response when one clicks on a thread in the grey box? Usually I click on the thread in the grey box, if it's a thread with several pages I have to click several times before reaching the last page. Most times when I immediately click on last page I end up with "404 Page Not Found". It's becoming quit frustrating for me, especially when I'm following a long thread and contributing to that thread.

Thank you

[ummmm]

But what about the people who haven't read the thread?

[factor-fiction]

It'd certainly help on threads such as the See How Far This Goes music threads

[DTCwordfan]

I would prefer that too.....

a quick read of the last few contributions usually tee up whether the thread is worth burrowing into as to the full range of contributions, that's why.

1 to 20 of 39........................................................1 2 Next Last

If there's more than one page of answers you can select ^^^^^^ Last as an option an go straight to the last page,

"But what about the people who haven't read the thread? "

When they click on 1st page I'm sure they'd have a much better chance of getting to that 1st page than me getting "404 page not found" when I click on "last" . For example, the cyclist thread, it's been busy all day; I've clicked on those already read pages umpteen times before I could see if I have some valid contribution to offer. Why isn't it possible for me to see the last response?

[society]

Baldric, was my OP not articulate enough? Forgive me...

I said when I click on 'last' I keep getting "404 Page Not Found".

[ummmm]

That doesn't happen to me.

[Psybbo]

Society, when I submit an answer, it comes up right away

"Can you please, please find a way to make one 'land' on the most recent or last response when one clicks on a thread in the grey box?"

The general outcome of these discussions is that some people want it to do that, and some people want it to stay the same.

It's not something that is in the benefit of a clear majority, so we leave it as it is. For now anyway.

"Most times when I immediately click on last page I end up with "404 Page Not Found". It's becoming quit frustrating for me, especially when I'm following a long thread and contributing to that thread."

That IS odd.

Anyone else got this problem?

[heathfield]

Not me.

[chelle7272]

Not a problem for me

[AB Editor]

Is it all page Society? Can you get to the other pages of the thread?

[society]

Thanks for getting back, Ed. Yes, all pages. When I had complained before someone suggested the server might be busy, lots of traffic and all that.

Here's an example - http://s7.postimage.org/6gzplcguj/abimage.jpg

It works perfectly fine for me Society! How odd.

Does this link work: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Animals-and-Nature/Pets/Question1226375-2.html#answer-7845366

Methyl, Thanks for your input.

I am not sure if you are speaking to me or Ed -

"This does suggest that you have server problems.
How about turning off the ridiculous "related threads" feature to give the server less to display on each page?"

If me, how do I turn off the related threads?
