Selecting newest post in a thread Hi Martin, Amongst all of the recent tweaks you've been making is one where the whole box of a thread or sub-forum is highlighted when moused over. However, on a touch screen device like my iPad, I'm now finding it really difficult to select the little 'latest post' icon. I keep getting the start of a thread rather than the end. I appreciate that it might just be my thick fingers, but wondered if there's anything you could do to make that icon more touch-friendly in the new arrangement? Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?

I was wondering the exact same thing, so glad you've asked that! I was thinking that the 'upload pics from ipad' button was the 'improvement of the month' but a bigger or easier to hit last post icon would be good. Can be easier if the page is zoomed of course. Keep up the good work Martin. DJ 1989 200tdi 90 csw 2011 110 usw Orkney grey Buy British 🇬🇧 Defender Clothing Designs available at http://www.rangesports.com/acatalog/Defender-Stuff.html

dondiddy Member Since: 13 Nov 2012 Location: Hamilton Posts: 224	Nope! Not just you! I`m finding the same thing and have to use the mouse to scroll down to the end to see the latest post! Does that count as excercise! Got to try and shed those Christmas pounds somehow!
