the email notifications when pagination on forum posts is enabled will not take you to the last post properly
i edited the template, adding #last
however it also needs to add the /p=3#last

i assume it needs something like {page=$_post.p}#last
or something

I just want to be sure this thread is about the same issue I am getting member complaints about:

When we are 'following' a discussion and we get an emailed notification of a new post in it, if we click the link in the email, we are not taken to the new post as we should be...instead we are always taken to the 'reply' textbox at the BOTTOM of the discussion's FIRST page...even if the thread is 30 pages long and the new post is on page 30.

Then people are like, huh? where's the new post? They scroll up, see the beginning of the discussion at top, notice the posts are from last year, they scroll back down to where they started, find the pagination links at the very bottom, and they wonder if they need to go to the 'last' page...click to the last page where you wind up on the top of the last page of the discussion, then scroll down to the bottom again...and Oh!-THERE is the new post, and a reply textbox below it.


Despite my even KNOWING about it all, I find myself slogging through this procedure over and over myself. My members are being very patient about it, but I really would like to get this fixed up. :)
We need to make the link in the "new post in a discussion you are following" email notification take people directly to that New Post.

Oh, and- this should apply to email notificatins for both Forums discussions AND Group discussion we may be 'following'. Thanks!

This is something that is causing a whole lot of annoyance on my network for all members, for me as well when responding to my many daily email notifications. Please see my longer post above that starts with "I just want to be sure that...."'
Getting this fixed would be a big relief!

This issue is a real annoyance to all my members and especially to myself and my moderators, since we must get a lot of notifications. The more active my site is getting, the more frustrating this thing becomes. Every single time if it's in a thread that has multiple pages, when we get an email notifying us of a new post we have to laboriously navigate (see prior post above) to finally GET TO the post or thread we were notified about. The email link always takes you to the bottom of the 1st page of the thread no matter if the new post is on page 9. Members are getting confused, and if they are not confused they are annoyed.

There are other places on my site where this same thing happens, and it's driving us all slowly mad...but I'm trying to approach it as one specific spot to fix at a time- and the first place is in the email notifications as Soaring brought up in this thread.
Can this be corrected somehow please?

This issue is causing more complaints than any other on my site now. I can see why, it's incredibly annoying, especially on our site where we have many forum threads with multiple pages.
My members are now learning how to set their account "Notifications" and how to "Follow" forum discussions... but now they get the email notification and ...ugh.
Please? ...can we get this fixed so it works right and the emailed link takes people to the NEW POST they are being notified about?

this doesn't seem to be entirely solved so re-opening it
the issue seems to be now, that when theres only 1 pafge...theres no link at all, when over 1 page it might work (unsure as all the topics ive gotten notifications on are new)

I reset the template cleared caches now running integrity check
but pretty sure its a site issue viewing message source looks like theres just nothing there

integrity check didn't fix it I do think its only happening on single page posts something in the fix that was meant to lead to the last page last reply broke the link when theres only 1 page

I think anyway
