When I visit the forum, I use the "Topics Last 24 Hours" option. And I poke around without signing in because it's faster, easier, simpler, and I can do it from pretty much any location or device without having to worry about any security concerns. So it's safer. When Zed Head checked, I may have been one of the 135 people viewing the forum without being signed in. This is the page I start with: https://www.classiczcars.com/discover/20/?&view=condensed When I'm not signed in and I click on the "1 hour ago" link, it takes me to the first post in an 18 reply thread. - Undesirable However if I DO sign in and click on the same "1 hour ago" link, it takes me to the post that was made 1 hour ago. - This is what I want But regardless if I'm signed in or not... if I go to the All Activity page here >> https://www.classiczcars.com/discover/ and click on the "1 hour ago" link, it doesn't matter whether I'm signed in or not... It always takes me the end of the thread. (Again, which is more desirable, at least to me (and Zed Head).) So @Mike , the code is clearly in there. Signed in or not.. Just figure out why the "all activity" page operates differently than the "last 24 hour" option. It shouldn't be a cookie thing since it would work the same way for all users. And all of this is clearly a different discussion than "unread since last visit"... THAT most certainly requires cookies, etc. But the links we're talking about should not be a cookie or sign in thing.. And as for menu at the top. I like the way you have it now. It's there if you need it, but off the top of the screen not taking up any unnecessary space if you don't.
