URL for the latest page of posts in a thread?

Hi,

Anyway to specify in a URL the last page in a current thread? e.g. instead og /page-88 something like /latest.

Background
I was looking at a new thread (indexed best patches) that referenced this long one (ideas, requests). To help I am going to post the thread people can make requests, show ideas etc (Zoom b3 patch Ideas) but it takes them to the first or a numbered page, eg 88, if I added that. But 88 currently the latest won't be for long, so hard coding a numbered page, intending to show the last one, isn't optimal.

A "dirty" way of doing this is to modify the page number in the url to something like 999999. The system will send you to the last page that way.

So instead of

Code:
https://www.talkbass.com/threads/zoom-b3-patch-ideas.918990/page-88

use this:

Code:

Great tip Paul, thanks. It worked a treat, I used 99999 it's big enough! and i quoted you in the thread. It's a great site you've built. Cheers!
