That would be optimal for sure. But last page would be good enough, I think. It does not really help that the page navigation is at the top of the page (when you reach last post, you can visually glean that there are supposed to be more.) and that the colour scheme makes them hard to spot. (at least to these old & colour blind eyes )

I tried a few themes before going live and this one was the most readable of the ones I've tried. I had to stick to those that seem to be maintained, otherwise a new version of the board could break them and then it's hell.
I *think* that if you go into your profile, you can switch to the standard theme, which may be more readable for you (or not...)

Hey guys! Now that you’re on Proboards, it’s a lot easier for me to stay active. I am on another Proboards forum that I used to be very active on. Perhaps I can contribute much more now. Glad to be back with you guys.
I shall soon add my end of year albums list. Perhaps I need to edit it first as I have had a few changes in my feelings of a few of them.

Ideally I’d like something that would bring you to the first unread post in a thread. I won't claim knowledge of how to make it happen, but from the other Proboards forum I am in, I can tell you that there is a way to make it so that it defaults to going to the most recent page, unless you've never visited that thread before. I just don't know how to do it or what it's called. Also another feature that would go along with this that might be easier to install (again, I don't know how, but it seems an easier thing in my head) is a place on the home page that you can click to see all recent posts. I find it super useful. Since I don't know how to do these things, I probably shouldn't say anything. I'm just happy to be on Proboards now. Me being in China does not interfere with Proboards like it did with Google.

Hey, welcome back! I’ll look into the settings. Some of them are weirdly organized. For the other feature you mentioned, I believe that’s a plugin but I wasn’t able to get it to work. I do intend to figure out why, because I’d really like to have that.

I do intend to figure out why, because I’d really like to have that. Thanks! Yeah, I later realized that on our current setup, you can choose "View recent threads," which is accessible at the bottom of the forums. This lists recent posts in a list form in a way exactly to the feature I referenced from the other forum I use. So actually, the feature is there, just located at the bottom and set up a little bit differently. Anyway, it's really good to have a forum that I can access much easier than Google with actual metal fans. It's annoying trying to share my findings and have good discussions with people who THINK they are metal fans, while they actually don't truly understand or appreciate real metal. Glad to be back.

Is there a plugin that support bandcamp players? Would be pretty sweet to be able a player in a post...

I agree that that could be a really cool feature. Although since moving to China, I find Bandcamp frustrating, as it runs particularly slow most times I try to use it. Still better than nothing though! And certainly I'm just happy that I don't need to access a VPN to view the Metalcrypt forum anymore!

Ok, thanks.
Have had a peep at the workarounds, not sure if they really work when you don't have the mp3 file to point to.
Seems a little more complication, than it is really worth, had hope that it was possible to embed the player. But no biggie.

What I got out of the comments is that due to the nature of the Bandcamp links, it would be hard to create a BBCode tag that supports them.

Hey everyone. Long time lurker and reader here. I thought it was about time I joined the conversation, hopefully I'll have something worthwhile to add.
