In the top right "Page" line click on the ">>" symbol and it goes to the last page. Works everywhere on the forum, not just AARs. The "<<" takes you to the first.

I'm actually looking for something I can save as a bookmark. That button has the last page number in it, so if you save it as a bookmark it will always go to that page. After a few more posts, when that that page is no longer the last page, it will still go to that page (not the new last page).

I'm not sure what you're after then. Live, the ">>" symbol always takes you to the current last page. If you want to bookmark a specific page, can't you Favorite the whole URL for it?

OK, again, if viewing the forum, the ">>" symbol in the Page line does that.

Or, if you're on the AAR lisitng page every AAR has a list of recent pages under the title and the last one is always there too.

If you want to enter the forum from another Web site already on the last page of a specific AAR I don't think you can.

This one! I just figured for my AAR it would be nice to have a link that went straight to the end to add my latest entry. After doing that is when I back up to check on comments.

I the past you've schooled me on how to use Google for advanced forum searches, so I think your expertise in this area exceeds mine. I'm old school I guess. After DOS I don't mind one . . . extra . . . click.

Spending so much effort trying to avoid that one click reminds me of a story. Years ago in a technical class the instructor told us about an (at the time somewhat) old IBM operating system. The greatest criticism of it was that it spent sooo much time trying to decide "what's the most efficient thing I can do next? Hmmm..."

Status: offline 		If you hover your cursor over the "go to latest post" link on the After Action Reports page for the AAR in question, you can get a sense for the URL link that will take you to the latest post.  The last piece of the URL seems to be "&go=last". Not sure if adding that to your link URL would always take you to the last post or not. Unfortunately I'm not that HTML/URL literate to know this.

Status: offline 		Thank you very much!

I had tried some experiments in the past but never hit on that syntax. Just FYI to anyone trying it, it's a little tricky to save the bookmark with that syntax because it gets converted to a different link when it opens the page, but you aren't allowed to save it as a bookmark until after it opens the page. The procedure to save it as a book mark is:

- Save a bookmark (it doesn't really matter what).
- Edit the bookmark, replacing the URL with what Panther Bait just provided (and editing in the forum number as instructed). Also make the bookmark name and so on be what you want.

Very nice - thank you!

This will take you to the last post, yes.

This forum doesn't appear to use a structure similar to other forums where you might be able to keep a "dynamic" bookmark for unread posts. When you go to the first unread post, the post number is generated for the link that shows up each time you log in rather than being something like "#unread" or "#new".

Status: offline 		Based on the link in the AAR Main Page, the syntax to go to the latest unread post is something like:
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=XXXXXXX&go=newst&lastvisit=3/13/2013%201%3A01%3A52%20PM


But I assume that everything after "&lastvisit=" is dynamic information, probably coming out of your login account or the site's cookie or something like that.  I've noticed that sometimes when I log in from a different machine, I "lose" the last visit info (not completely but might not register the latest visit), but not always.  If you could figure out the code, and dynamically recreate it in your shortcut, you might be able to make a shortcut to the last unread post, but I really don't know how to do that.

Add "&mpage=X" to the URL, where X is the page number.
