Thanks Vinh . Added it to mine as well.

I use the NEW icon to get to all posts I haven't read, saves scrolling through all the posts till you come to posts you haven't read.  It's great, only problem I find is it's a bit slow, but it works real good.

It was decided that we will not make the last post column go to the last post of the thread.  However, by customizing the theme template, you can give the last post column the ability to go to the last post.

Here's how to do this:

1. Go to the Admin area.
2. At the top, hover over Themes and then click on the Layout Templates sub-menu.
3. Select the theme you want to edit by using the dropdown menu next to where it says Current Theme.
4. Click the Board link under the Template Name column.
5. Click the Thread List tab.
6. Find the line of html code that says:
   
   <td class="latest last">by $[thread.last_post.created_by_user]<br />$[thread.last_post.date]</td>
   
7. Replace that line of html code with this one:
   
   <td class="latest last">by $[thread.last_post.created_by_user]<br /><a href="/post/$[thread.last_post.id]/thread">$[thread.last_post.date]</a></td>
   This change makes the date a clickable link that will go to the last post of the thread.
8. Click the Save Changes button at the bottom.
9. Now go view a board on your forum and try clicking on the date in the last post column.

 Vinh, when the line is removed and I replace it with the new line click on SAVE I get this message
Invalid request token / possible request forgery. If you received this message in error, please go back, refresh, and try again.

I am the only Admin on my board so why am I prevented from making this change. is it because I'm an Aussie?

Nope we love Australia . Try refreshing the page and re-apply the change.

Thanks for this!

Many thanks Vinh for that workaround - I have implemented and it works well, and your instructions were really clear, but I really would like the option to arrange all the reply's in reverse order. I think most people logging onto a forum want to see what has just been said and then scroll down to be able to read the history. I really do hope there is a solution to this, I have searched in vain for a Plug-in to allow this to happen

Overall though I am loving V5

jeanneau,

You can make a feature request on the Feature Requests board (http://support.proboards.com/board/29).

Hi. I wanted to do this, but from the Board (Home Page) level. So using Vinh's earlier post, this is what I've done:

Go to the Admin area.

1. At the top, hover over Themes and then click on the Layout Templates sub-menu.
2. Select the theme you want to edit by using the dropdown menu next to where it says Current Theme.
3. Click the Board link under the Template Name column.
4. Click the Board List tab.
5. Find the line of html code that says:
   
   <span class="date">$[board.last_thread.last_post.date]</span>
   
6. Replace that line of html code with this one:
   
   <span class="date"><a href="/post/$[board.last_thread.last_post.id]/thread">$[board.last_thread.last_post.date]</a></span>
   This change makes the date a clickable link that will go to the last post of the thread.
7. Click the Save Changes button at the bottom.
8. Now go view a board on your forum and try clicking on the date in the last post column.
