&goto=newpost

[moku]

I use to be able to add &goto=newpost to a roll call link, boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2514509&goto=newpost, to get to the newest unread post.  That no longer works.  Is there a similar way to link to the newest unread post in a roll call?

There is a dot to the left of each thread that will jump you to the newest post. Unfortunately it appears that the link already knows which post that is and links directly to that post ID. It doesn't look like there is anything that you can append to the end of any URL to jump to the latest post.

Boy, I don't see the dot.  I'll keep looking.

Thanks.  I have tried various permutations of the above and could not get anything to work.  If you have a bookmark that is working will you post it here please?

Here's what they're talking about... in the thread listing:

You'll see a star or a dot (circle) to the left of the thread title.  Star means you've participated (posted), dot means you haven't.  A bold title means there's new posts.

Add the above to the end of your address.  

So, for example, using the "Signature issues... among other things" I highlighted above...

To read the thread itself: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2595662-signature-issues-among-other-things/

To read the first unread on that thread: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2595662-signature-issues-among-other-things/?do=getNewComment

Oops, looks like I left a ? out.  So if you have the specific link, add ?do=getNewComment to the end.  My apologies.

Yep, got that to work.  Thanks!
