Viewing Last Unread Post.

[Nige005]

EDIT. Got the title wrong - sorry. Everything else applies though.

Over the last few days have noticed that when I click on the " View First Unread " button in a Thread it usually takes me beyond the last Post I have viewed previously, and on a busy Thread by a considerable number of Posts too, sometimes pages of them. The last one which I tried just now was the Christmas Avatar Poll, took me over a page beyond where I'd left off yesterday evening.

This is confusing as I think that AO is trying to tell me that I'm going ga ga and it's just 'cos I can't remember reading the Posts.

I'm almost sure this isn't the case................ Will someone please confirm this ?

Are you using a PC/Laptop ? It might also help to state what browser you are using.

No problems here on IE7 BTW


But the "View First Unread" button doesn't work for me when surfing via mobile on Opera Mini or any other mobile browser IIRC, clicking the button only takes me to the top of correct page.

Afternoon David.

Always worked fine for me before, using same PC and Firefox.

I have just remembered though that I got the latest version of Firefox a few days ago, I suppose it's possible that these two things are connected although I can't be sure of what happened first, problem or new Firefox.

Must stress that it doesn't happen all the time, at least I don't think it does, but it is certainly happening some of the time.

Thanks Ian, seems better I think, but not been on many " long " Threads in the last few days. This is where it was very noticeable. I'll check again tomorrow and let you know.

Kev, was every where I went.

I'm getting this problem, especially on the World Record thread.
Perhaps something to do with the new RSVP set up??
I'm using latest version of Firefox.

Still happening on occasion here too, no particular Thread or logic to it that I can see.

Sometimes it's fine, other times it's not. Could be my PC though.

On Threads with RSVP's it jumps around a bit until it's sorted out, RSVP's are initially open when I go into the Thread, it takes a few seconds for them to close and the page to settle down.

Also noticed that when you Post in one of these Threads after the " Thanks for Posting " it then takes me right to the bottom of the page, where the Hints and Tips are.

All a bit odd but nothing I can't live with.
