can someone explain this behavior please?

It should go to the last post, should it not? I clicked on the double arrows, and a popup notice indicated it would take me to the last post.

Instead it takes me to page 20, which shows the FIRST page (NOT the 20th page) of posts in REVERSE order...

?????

(Also, why is there no embedded video support?)

For some reason your account is defaulting to the "latest activity" tab (which displays posts in reverse order), and not the "posts" tab (which displays them in the "correct" order). When I click on the exact same arrow on the exact same post, it lands me exactly where I'm supposed to be - the very last post in that topic.

Out of interest, this is the URL I get for the link in question: https://www.rangefinderforum.com/fo...r-construction-take-a-look/page20#post4755419

When you click on that URL here, does that also take you to the Latest Activity tab, or do you land in the "posts" view?

Also, if you go to your user settings (https://www.rangefinderforum.com/settings/account), there's an option under "Conversation Detail Options" for "Display mode"; is the box next to "Latest Activity" ticked/checked? (I actually don't have either box checked at the mo.)

Browser related?

OK that did the trick, changing the user setting....it took me right to the last post, with the reply text entry area front and center.

When I saw that setting previously, I mistakenly assumed "conversation" was referring to private messages, because that's the nomenclature that Xenforo forum software uses.

Vbulletin uses the term "Conversation" to refer to forum posts, it appears.

I had asked this question elsewhere on the forum with no reply, perhaps this is a forum-wide default that needs to be set in the admin section, MP Guy?

Thank you!
