Easy way to jump straight to the last page of a thread?

I didn't want to start a new thread, but the forum is showing up as a thin strip down the middle of screen like it's for mobile.. is there a setting to make it wider and fill screen like the old forum?

I've done some digging and so far the answer is no unfortunately. Hoping Ratchet has some time to customize the site. I'm definitely not an expert when it comes to coding.

Just poking around in the browser Dev tools, there are some CSS elements that have a max-width setting. For example, the main id="content" element has a max-width set at 1200px. Removing that gives you the wider layout. But, you do need some knowledge on the CSS side because that is only one part of it.

I would assume that there some alternate themes available that have the wide layout, which would probably be an easier fix than tweaking the CSS of an existing theme.

I still don't how to go to the first unread post. This is the most important feature to me on a forum.

Supposedly the green double down arrows will do the trick. Seemed to work for me especially after Dave switched back to DB mode instead of cookie mode and set me back a day.

Edit: I just love being able to drop in a little picture instead of having to upload it to somewhere external but hope this doesn't cause excessive DB bloat. Does the software have a trim function so images that haven't been accessed in forever get removed?

Noticing the same behavior now with the switch to database mode.

Supposedly it does but it's not working, and the forum keeps logging me out as well.

I miss the old site layout. When Anandtech changed I stopped posting there now the same is happening on Rage3D. The new format is not engaging to me at all.
 
It keeps plopping me into the 1st page of each thread, and then I have to scroll to the bottom and select the newest page. Half the time, that latest page doesn't even display properly, and then I have to navigate to the 2nd latest page, and then back to the newest.

Is there an easy way to just get straight to the newest posts of a thread?

It was a casualty of the vB 5 upgrade unfortunately.

We already have a thread on this subject! https://www.rage3d.com/board/forum/c...a-thread/page2

Either use the >> by the last poster's name or use the double down arrows ahead of the thread title to go to first new post (though if that also happens to be the last post their might be aiming issues where it can be off due to not enough bottom stuff).
