Go to first new post - not always working

Wetdogeared · 01-19-2009, 12:27 PM

Anyone else out there who, while trying to get to the first new post of a subscribed thread, is taken to the top of the last page of the thread *or* to the bottom of the last page of the thread?

About 50% of the time, I'm not repositioned to the first new post.

*edit* Sometimes, it will quickly display the last post and then just as quickly go to the top of the last page. Very annoying!

Thanks WDE.

I'm having that problem as well.

Glad to see I'm not alone. Strange happenings are usually my own fault.

The little blue arrow pointing downward, just to the left of the thread title on my list of subscribed threads that have new postings. While hovering over it, it displays 'Go to first new post'.

I'm having the same problem too, but I kind of like it

Strange. I tested it with threads I am subscribed to and it seems to work properly. I would need to try with a few more subscriptions and see if I encounter the same problem.

Btw, what browser(s) are you using? Edit: Ah, IE7. Ok I will use it next to test subscriptions.

(seriously though, i'm not having that problem, and i can't think where it could be coming from, apart from possibly a bug in ei, but maybe alex can help).

The problem is also, it doesn't happen all the time, so it is doubly annoying.

Alexander Turcic · 01-19-2009, 01:16 PM

Hm... I subscribed to this thread and when you posted a new message, I used IE7 to jump to the latest unread post as described by Wetdogeared. I guess I have to keep trying to see if/when things go wrong.

Yes it is. I updated my original post to say it happens about 50% of the time (I'm being generous). To clarify again, it does quickly display the first new post, and then just as quickly displays the top of the last page.)

It's like having to read the previous chapter of a book again before you can continue to the next chapter...etc..etc..

I don't mind it as much since it's usually ones I've read already and I automatically scroll to the bottom anyway. But if it makes you feel better I don't like it enough to make you suffer so I can keep it

I noticed when I'm in the reply page it'll knock down an inch or so a little while after the page loads.
