I look at the threads and click on one I want to read, and most times it takes me to page 2, or page 4, or ,,,,

What do I need to do to get it to take me to very first post, on page 1 ??????

Thanks

I always click on the thread title, not the envelope icon and it always takes me to the first post that I haven't read.

Clicking on the numbered squares will take you to the top of that page of posts.

hmmmm....
I always click on the thread title.
Example >> I just clicked on a thread title that has 71 pages.
It took me to page 67. ??????

Clicking on the "box" with #1 works, but in every other forum I'm active in, clicking on the thread title always takes me to the first post of the first page.
I figured that on TBN I may need to change a setting or something, don't know. ?

Hmmm... Perhaps it's the TBN display version you're using. There are two different ones. I think that it can be changed in your profile, but don't quote me.

Also, at the top of the page, there's a "View First Unread" thingy... maybe that'll fix it for you?

To the right of the thread title, it shows the number of pages in the thread. Click on the first page.

What device, phone or computer?

Where are you looking, Today's Posts, New Posts or individual forums?

On my computer, clicking the title takes me to the first unread post no matter how many pages in the thread.

If in the list of threads, you click the #1 box, it will go to the first page:

I’m using a Dell laptop and an iPad.
Same results with both.
Don’t matter where the thread originates, each category, new posts,todays posts, whatever..

As I said, clicking on a thread title should take you to the first post on the first page, at least that how it works with every other forum I frequent.

Got to be something in my settings or profile that’s jacked up, I don’t know.
It ain’t life or death by no means, but I’d sure like to make it work “right”

When you say the first unread post, what does that mean? The first unread post for you in that thread or the first unread post for the rest of the world in that thread?

That still makes no sense to me, either way.
I know I’m clicking on threads I’ve not looked at, so what sense does it make to take me to the first “unread post”. LOL

Click on "My Home" then "General Settings" (or click on this link: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions ) then scroll down to "Miscellaneous Settings" change the setting from "Tractor" to "TractorByte2015"
The current skin is set to take you to the first unread post, as I understand it, it is a holdover from the original forum software.

Example

Go to forum Parts/Repairs and click on Blown up Kubota motor.
It has 37 pages.
When I clicked on it for the first time it took me to page 34. WTF? LOL
That ain’t gonna be the first unread post for me or anybody else.
