The option is under the main post. Good option... but I'm not a fan of reading in reverse. Hopefully someone will have done or will eventually put out a mod. Be sure to post future issues in the Support Forum. Please feel free to move these posts over there... it just seems to me that these are website issues up for discussion, not things that are inherently "wrong" and worthy of support. *shrug* |

Until Bill finds the code to do it, we can only make due. Believe me, Bill wants to be able to do it. By the way Bill, you may have to do some of your code mix-matching to come up with a solution. Connect the php coding to the drupal somehow, if you can. |
 November 9, 2007 - 12:50am | This is a problem inherent in Drupal - the foundation upon which this site is built. I am not alone in asking for this feature - and I've tried really hard to find a fix for it myself (there are other places on this site where I found solutions that folks on the Drupal community site don't know a way around). I'm sorry but this is one feature that I'm not currently able to solve :(! 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our

November 9, 2007 - 10:00am | Well, the upside is that it seems like it's not as big an issue as I initially thought since we can click on the "X New" link and it will take us to the correct page to see new messages. While there are a lot of new mechanics to get up to speed with as a first time Drupal user, it does seem to be a pretty powerful ap. The more I use it the more I enjoy it. |
November 9, 2007 - 10:50am | There's an "X New" link? Where? Bill, couldn't you use that link to forward the page to the last post after posting? |
November 9, 2007 - 1:27pm | Sadly, no. That's the problem: the pagination is performed down-stream of the url construction. It's not possible without having a crystal ball :( 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our

November 10, 2007 - 10:21am | Why can't it create the page before forwarding and then forward you to the post? Can't you add code to wait until the page is created and then determine the new page code? |
November 11, 2007 - 11:28am | Why can't it create the page before forwarding and then forward you to the post? Can't you add code to wait until the page is created and then determine the new page code? I was trying to do this... I broke the site several times while trying and had to revert. I'm not sure if this will ever be possible - and if it is, it's going to require a lot of trial & error and testing. I'm sorry but it's just a limitation we have. If you change the comment settings to view like 300 comments per page, it'll allow you to link to any comment on any forum topic you want by clicking any "# new" link... but it means you'll have a long page.3.

November 11, 2007 - 11:34am | I was thinking of a situation where you could forward to a forward. It would double the transition time, but it might work. You transfer the page address through the first forward, and then generate a new forward with the "#new" target at the end of the address in the second forward. This should allow the page to be created and the "#new" to be generated correctly. Is that possible? Just a thought. |
November 12, 2007 - 7:24am | Smarter folks than me have tried to figure this out. :( 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our
