This is done through a new preference that controls when a discussion should be "opened at last read post": - Always (Flarum built-in default) - Only when there are unread posts - Never = Always open discussion at the top You can configure a global default in the admin panel and users can change it via their preferences. The optional "Prompt" setting is experimental. It shows a message in the discussion allowing the user to change their preference on the first visit. Unfortunately the message is very long, so it's not very user-friendly. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require clarkwinkelmann/flarum-ext-discussion-open-position ``` Support ------- [](#support) This extension is under **minimal maintenance**. It was developed for a client and released as open-source for the benefit of the community. I might publish simple bugfixes or compatibility updates for free.

Support is offered on a "best effort" basis through the Flarum community thread. **Sponsors**: puppydreamwork Links ----- [](#links) - [GitHub](https://github.com/clarkwinkelmann/flarum-ext-discussion-open-position) - [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/clarkwinkelmann/flarum-ext-discussion-open-position) - [Discuss](https://discuss.flarum.org/d/31153) ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity18 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity48 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
