A lot of people were initially voicing concerns that they couldn't get to the last post of a thread without going into the thread because we no longer had pagination on the thread list. While we have reintroduced the pagination to make things easier, that was not necessary to get to where you wanted to go, so I wanted to offer a brief tutorial on the links in the threadlist and where each one takes you.
First, a diagram.
On the far left, you have a small icon with two down arrows. If you click this icon, you will be taken to the first new post since you last visited the thread. For many of us, this is the quickest way to pick up where you left off.
Next to that is the thread title, which takes you to the first post on the first page of the thread.
Below the thread title, we have reintroduced the pagination, which shows links to the first 5 pages as well as the last page of the thread.
To the far right in the Last Post By thread is the Last Poster's Name. Clicking their name will take you to their user profile.
Below there name is the time stamp of their last post. Clicking on that time stamp will take you to the last post in the thread.
I hope this helps clear up the confusion and reestablishes the functionality you were missing.
