Hi Admins, It is possible to change the site, that after you login in, if you select a topic, it "automatically" takes you to the first unread post? Right now, you have to manually select "First Unread Post" - a bit annoying . Most other defence sites take you to the first unrea...

Re: Type 83 Destroyer (RN) [News Only]

Or just remove "news only" from the thread title. Maybe change to "Future AAW" to match the "Future ASW" title. I'd rather keep this topic so that news isn't buried under endless speculative posts but I'd be fine with a "Future AAW" topic if someone wished to...

Indeed. Non-news and speculative posts have been deleted.
