Hi Wonderful Mods! PLEASE - can you check with your site-techs and ask if they can do help us with this?

In the Humor and Games forum, there's the following threads:

9-Letter Word Game 8-Letter Word Game7 Letter Word Game6 Letter Word GameNew Want To Play A Word Game4 Letter Word GameThese word games play off of the last word posted. It would be a HUGE help if the LAST page that was posted on, could appear when we log into each thread. It would be great if the page that the last word was posted on would be the default page within the thread. Sometimes when we log into the thread, the last page doesn't default, and we play off of the word on the wrong page. This is hard to explain... so I hope you understand my request. If not - please PM me and I will try to better explain. HELP!

Please respond! (These word games are a great way to exercise our chemo brains.)

    I think the current default is to go to the last POST a person read on a thread and I kind of like that since it helps me to know where I left off on reading a thread and I don't miss any new posts.

    Hi - I think you've missed my point/didn't understand my request...I am referring to the ongoing word games in the HUMOR forum... if you have ever played them... you would understand my request.

    I understand your request.  The same issue happens with the 'Next Person' game which I am on but I don't know if they can apply the last page to just a few threads like the games without affecting all the threads on the board.

    I think that with today's technology...almost ANYTHING can be done. We'll see how savvy their site techs are. They've done a great job with this site to date... hopefully they can help us with this latest request.

    MODS... CHIME IN - PLEASE!

    Well, if it can't be done specifically for specific threads, then I much prefer the current default, which brings me back to a thread at the point where I had last looked at it.

    I play a word game also, and if I come in somewhere before the end, I just hit "Last" page (far right, at the bottom of the page) and with just one click I'm instantly at the end of the thread.

    I'm with AnnNYC.  Even though it would help with the "game" threads, any change that might mess up the current "take me to where I left off" would likely be a problem for readers on all the other threads.

    Unless that programming change can be made specific to just the "game" threads, I'd rather we skip it and use the "last page" button instead.
