When you click on the Last Post icon, you are taken to the thread, but not the last post on the thread.

Is this something that you disabled Brandon, or is it a bug?

**Brandon Sheley** · 02-28-2009, 10:00 AM

It's because our default style doesn't use the tables. I had them removed when I made the style, without realizing that it would cause that bug.
I'd love to fix it, but I don't know how.

It is in the forumhome_lastpostby template. And you should just be able to replace the code you have with this..

<if condition="$show['lastpostinfo']">
<div class="smallfont" align="$stylevar[left]">
<div>
<span style="white-space:nowrap">
<if condition="$show['icon']"><img class="inlineimg" src="$icon[iconpath]" alt="$icon[title]" border="0" /></if>
<if condition="$lastpostinfo['prefix']">
$lastpostinfo[prefix]
</span><if condition="is_browser('safari')"> </if>
<span style="white-space:nowrap">
</if>
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]" style="white-space:nowrap" title="<phrase 1="$lastpostinfo[lastthread]">$vbphrase[go_first_unread_in_thread_x]</phrase>"><strong>$lastpostinfo[trimthread]</strong></a></span>
</div>
<div style="white-space:nowrap<if condition="is_browser('ie', 6)">; float:$stylevar[left]</if>">
<phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&f=$lastpostinfo[forumid]" 2="$lastpostinfo[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>
</div>
<div align="$stylevar[right]" style="white-space:nowrap">
$lastpostinfo[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']"><span class="time">$lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</span></if>
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]#post$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>
</div>
</div>
<else />
<div class="smallfont" align="$stylevar[right]">
$lastpostinfo[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']"><span class="time">$lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</span></if>
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>
</div>
</if>

Or I guess just add the link to the front of the image you have there...

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]#post$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>

Though I could be wrong LOL

**Brandon Sheley** · 02-28-2009, 10:31 AM

I changed out the code out, and I don't see any changes.
I think it's in the showthread or postbit template honestly

thanks for the help

**ohiosweetheart** · 02-28-2009, 10:57 AM

I live by the last post feature, lol.

I do too, I really wish we could get it working on the default style
it works on the other styles

**Michael Biddle** · 03-01-2009, 07:11 PM

If anything it is due to the postbit/_legacy style.

Do you know how we can fix it on the default style

**Ekka** · 03-07-2009, 04:43 PM

Brandon,

When I follow an email link back to a post on this forum (sent by subscription alert) I find I cannot read the dang post because the forum keeps reloading the page every 3 seconds like a flicker.

Imagine then you're reading the 4th post down, then the forum reloads and bounces you back to the 1st post ... you scroll down and start reading then it happens again and again.

How I overcome it is by loading the thread only URL not the one with the post in it.

This is bad though mate, very frustrating and you need to fix it.

Here's a perfect example and it's only the first post. See the difference in the page and reading on these two URL's.

:thanks:

Just want to say, it is the same for both links for me.

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-07-2009, 05:30 PM

**Threads merged, see post 2 for the reason.

**agitated** · 03-08-2009, 10:58 AM

There was a bug in vBSEO that caused this problem. Last post link always went to start of thread. Might be related, ya never know.

**agitated** · 03-08-2009, 11:02 AM

Not sure what is causing the problem but it only happens here.

Some pages are constantly reloading in IE7 and it's very annoying.
It happens when clicking the last post link.

**popowich** · 03-08-2009, 12:26 PM

I've noticed it too but never considered it a problem. I use Firefox 3.

-Raymond

**agitated** · 03-08-2009, 12:39 PM

Perhaps it's different with FF3. In IE7 it means that it's very difficult to read the page because it is constantly reloading.

**Cerberus** · 03-08-2009, 12:42 PM

I never noticed it happening at all and I practically live on this site LOL . I am on IE7 now just to test it and its not doing it to me. Maybe something you have installed or added?

**agitated** · 03-08-2009, 12:51 PM

It happens when clicking the last post link from the forumhome page.

IE7 has no additional addons/extensions.

**agitated** · 03-08-2009, 12:52 PM

It's now started happening after I've hit submit reply for a post.

**popowich** · 03-08-2009, 12:56 PM

Oh, I just occasionally notice the tab reloading when I'm in a different tab.

I've never had a page reload interfere with my viewing of this site.

hmm, I think I have the latest version of vbseo
do you happen to have a link? I'll check it out, but I'm fairly certain it's just because the style

**ohiosweetheart** · 03-08-2009, 08:01 PM

ooohhh I hope it's that and can be fixed.

Miner said he would try to take a look this week

**fattony69** · 03-08-2009, 08:52 PM

I get this on many sites. I think it may be the similar threads as it is constantly searching. I am not exactly sure, but I believe so.

thanks for reporting, I merged this thread because I believe it is related.
I've never noticed the page constantly reloading on IE or FF.
