After reading the recent "how do I quote another's post" thread I thought this one is timely.

I was on here for 6 months before a forum member enlightened me.

If you click on the far right of the post, (it will be in minutes or hours or days) it will automatically take you to the bottom- ie. the most recent post in the thread...........I think I wore out a couple mouse wheels before I learned this...hope it helps!............. ::

A new one on me! But, I still don't know where you describe the link (hours/minues/days???)
Edit: Never mind, you are describing from the active thread topics list, got that.

The link for the most recent reply in a thread is in the "Freshness" column of the active thread topic page.

Once you open the post, you can hit the "End" key on your keyboard to go to the bottom of the post. That also saves a lot of mouse mileage.

What do you mean by "click"? I've been snapping my fingers till they are sore, and I got nothing.

That's for snapping, not clicking. For clicking I use one of these.

That's great if there's only one page of posts. The "Last Reply' link at the top does the trick for me.
Clicking on the right side in multiple places on any post does nothing at all, but I am onna Mac, using Safari. Anyone else?
