With you there RJ .. it seems to default always to page #1!! It seems to need like with VBulletin ... /newpost.php type of deal - and so ''find'' the latest not seen, regardless of what page. maybe this cgi coded board does not give that facility?
The other thing - which I mentioned not long ago --- the ''new posts'' ... being limited to just ten .. will I fear outgrow itself as we grow .... and I want to try as much as poss' to stay on top all new material. Any chance that can be expanded to maybe 20 later on? Or simply ''new posts'' ... regardless of numer on the day.
