Peter Truman Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 I used to be able to click on the RHS of screen "author and X min or hour ago' ago which immediately sent me to the last post, it doesn't work anymore, sometimes the action now sends me right back to the originating post which can be pages back, or to a post say 5 from the last post, where it sends me appears to have no rhyme or reason. The problem exists even if I'm using my iphone, ipad, or computer access via Microsoft Edge, so it appears to be my set up on the forum, I've scanned around the forum page and can't find any appropriate settings options, mind you with computers I can bu***r anything up! Can anyone point me in the right direction please it's very frustrating. Peter T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinR Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 No idea what the problem is - its working on my computer. What happens when you click on the blue dot or star ? It should take you to the first post on a thread that you haven't read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Truman Posted November 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 the only blue dot is 3 dots giving report or share, which doesn't give any format options, I can't see a star anywhere on the screen of topics/headings. Kevin if I click on "follow" it advises "Follow Can't quickly get to the last post anymore" is this a possible issue Peter T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybeau Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 On Android smartphone I can click the blue dot on left to go to newest post. See screenshot below I'm using Microsoft Edge on phone and laptop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinR Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 24 minutes ago, Mathew said: Android phone, no blue dot to left of headings! Maybe only there if there is a new post, all mine read at the moment. Correct, blue dot or star turns grey and becomes inactive once the post is read. It’s a star if you have posted in the thread and a dot if you haven’t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Truman Posted November 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Frustrating isn't it esp if there's 17 pages, up to a couple of days ago I just clicked on the last post x min or y hrs ago and was there, What have I touched? New to the set up is the top posters on the subject I'm looking at which takes up the right hand side of the page, it wasn't there before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 i dont use it on phone so only have laptop/pc clues have you changed one of the three tab options in the top right side of the browse page which makes big changes to the layout ??

KevinR Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I get no problems browsing from my Laptop with Chrome, similarly, no problem with Safari on both my iPhones. It might also be worth clearing out all your cookies and the cache and see if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 A small thing I have noticed, on a new thread with only the first post, if you click the dot nothing happens. You have to click the thread title. Not much of a problem, but confusing. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinR Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Peter, to make this one work, I think you need to click on the thread title, rather than the time of the last post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 On my tablet using chrome and Imac using firefox, I've always gone top right hand drop down, Activity, All activity, to show the latest post, wasn't aware of any other way.

Peter Truman Posted November 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Kevin appears to work as you advised click on the thread title but it appears to take me back one or two posts ie possibly the last post I viewed, finally happy thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
