Any chance that, in the title of a thread, where it says, page 1,2,3...last reply, you can instead put the part of the script at the bottom of a thread where it says page 1,2,3,4,5l, etc.
Perhaps I'm missing something in Wacco navigation, or suffering from my preference for not using the daily digest. But I'm having to enter a thread, then going to the bottom of the the page then clicking on the last page I haven't read.
Thanks for any help!

Open the thread and you can see in the top right that you can sort newest post to oldest. I actually set my personal preferences to this so everything sorts that way.

Tars, when you enter a thread the system already jumps you to the first unread post. Is that what you're hoping for or do you really want to read the thread backwards?

A month or so ago I changed the system so that it jumps to the first read post. Is that not working for you?
You can change the sort order of posts in all threads here:

See the "Thread Display Mode" in the "Thread Display Options" section.

Hmm...looked at the adjustment page you recomended - Doesn't seem to address the situation. I think I probably didn't describe well.
First, though I have things set to go to the oldest post first, when I go to a thread I haven't looked at before, which already has several posts, the BB displays the last post first. I can live with that, though it means manually scrolling back to the thread start.
But what I was initially trying to ask about was regarding longer threads that I have accessed before. some of them may have acquired over a page's worth of posts since the last time I viewed the thread. I know this because more page numbers are displayed in the thread title, like this

No matter how many pages of posts there are in the thread, my only choices are to go to 1,2,3, or the last page. But what if I want to go to 4, or 6, or whatever? I have to go to the closest page I can click on, then manually page to where I want to go. Maybe if that "(https://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccobb/misc/multipage.gif <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink --> 1 (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccotalk/25191-god-does-not-exist-v-i-cant-know-atheism-v-agnosticism.html) <!-- END TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink --> <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink --> 2 (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccotalk/25191-god-does-not-exist-v-i-cant-know-atheism-v-agnosticism-2.html) <!-- END TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink --> <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink --> 3 (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccotalk/25191-god-does-not-exist-v-i-cant-know-atheism-v-agnosticism-3.html) <!-- END TEMPLATE: threadbit_pagelink --> ... Last Page (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccotalk/25191-god-does-not-exist-v-i-cant-know-atheism-v-agnosticism-6.html))" was able to be displayed more accurately, perhaps as,
"(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,etc....last page)"
I'm more used to forums that list that last way than how your BB scrip does it. I just tried to ask if thread page options can be displayed more completely. I wasn't clear enough, I think. Not a biggee; the current setup is workable, just requires more navigation than I'm used to.
