scrollTo Location?

[Pebble]

 I've written a plugin showing unread threads on the posts page :

but what I want to do ( and can't! ) is, when you click 'NEW' it would take you to the oldest unread post in that thread. Would anyone know if it is stored on the user end or server side? And if on the user side, where?

For example, the 'NEW' href is:

<a href="/threads/recent/446262" class="">new</a>
Selecting to link to a post in a thread is:

http://support.proboards.com/post/5153500/thread
Which would both take you to:

http://support.proboards.com/thread/446262/vdice-dice-rolling-proboards-v5?page=1&scrollTo=5153500

Any help, good or bad news, would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Pebble.

I think you'd just have to do it upon coming to the page, because isn't the last post ID in the pb data object for the thread? Just stick a parameter in the url and check to see if it's set before changing page (if needed) and scrolling down to the last post. Otherwise, you could just check to see if there are any pages, and if there are: change to that page, and find the last instance of a post and scroll to it.

Hi Bennett 🚀,
I looked at the pb.data and for a thread there is the following:

"533576":{"is_sticky":0,"last_post_id":6170178,"is_locked":0,"is_new":1,
"created_on":1417387450,"url":"/thread/533576/flag-important-threads",
"is_poll":0,"id":533576,"subject":"Flag Important Threads",
"last_post_time":1420865326,"first_post_id":6119222,"is_bookmarked":0,
"is_announcement":0,
"is_falling":0,"board_id":35,"created_by":19529}
So, from this I can get to the first post and the last post in that thread, but not the 'first unread post'. If someone hasn't checked in for a couple of pages then taking them to the last post is probably just as annoying as taking them to the first!
I can't seem to find any reference to the first unread post

As far as I'm aware, '/threads/recent/446262' IS a direct link to the latest unread post in that board, the only issue is that you'd have to be outside of that thread for it to work.

As soon as you enter a thread it is assumed read, and so the last unread post would become the last one, even if you entered the thread on the first page.

Cheers Todge.
I'm using the above '/threads/recent/446262' but after reading your post I saw that I had an obvious mistake in the code which was taking me to the first post. So obvious I couldn't see it! I can now stop bashing the keyboard and give my head a few well deserved slaps!

No worries..

I thought it was a strange question to come from you.
