Hi,
I have just worked out why the last post link doesn't work for me.

We have lots of sub forums.

Our organised structure means that the last post only works for a particular topic in one of the sub forums.

I have been playing with this for the last 24 hours and by using that link I'm assuming I have visited the discussion when in fact I have only visited the latest topic in one of the sub forums and missed all the fact that there are ather topics and other forums with topics that have been updated.

This was initially confusing as it doesn't make sense to have an indicator at forum/subforum level but the last post link does appear at these levels.

I have come to the conclusion that relying on a link colour change is relying on one function to do 2 different jobs and that those jobs sometimes conflict.

If there is anything at all that you can come up with along the lines of icons rather rapidly it would be really really appreciated and I will gladly help with anything appropriate.

Thankyou

James
