What's the purpose of 'Go To First New Post?'


Recommended Posts

It seems like both options in the screenshot below do pretty much the same thing.
They both take you to the first unread post.

It would be cool if the second option actually went the the first new post.... 
...as of that moment.  Like, the newest of the new posts.  


But instead, it goes to the first unread post which is actually 44 posts old in the case of the screenshot below.
Does that make sense?

Why would not want to go straight to your last unread?

This is absolutely right and I think the OP’s point. Yet somehow I feel like I should randomly neg this benign post.

X2.  It is somewhat frustrating at times.  I stand with @ATXbronco.

I didn't realize they did the same thing? What are you using it goes to the last post for me 

Yeah, sometimes I want to see the first (oldest) unread post.  

And other times, like on game day when there's a couple hundred posts a minute, I want to go to the last (newest) unread post.
Like, someone just scored and I want to see what people are saying about it.  Not view a conversation that's already two minutes old.

Do you think it's something that can be changed?

Btw, I'm building a Xenforo forum right now and I want to compliment you on the very cool setup that you've got here.
 

Is there a reason you chose xenforo? What are you doing for hosting?

It was the most recommended at the time a few years ago when I built the first forum when we migrated from vBulletin.
Well, someone else did the building and I did the theming.  

Xenforo has been really good for us.  No issues with the forum software.  

At the time, Linode & Litespeed were recommended by the Xenforo builder.
But our small forum costs have increased from $35/month to $165/month over time.  
We've got a VPS with Linode on the shared 16GB/320GB plan.

I'm learning/doing all the build work this time around as we move from soon-to-be-EOL CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8.
I think I'm going to go with the Ionus 240GB VPS plan.  Super cheap and we're small enough to make the limitations work.

I'm experimenting with CentMin Mod for it.

DM me if you want help or if you want to host it out of our rack instead :)
