Mobile Browsing

[Nerburg 1]

A very minor issue, but probably good to know about: when browsing the forums on a mobile device (I am on an iPhone 5, using safari, no idea if this makes a difference), clicking on a thread will load the page at the most recent reply to the thread, rather than starting at the top of the page, which isn't the greatest for a place where long, well-thought-out posts are made.

 

Obviously not a huge issue, and good for the power user who is up to date on every thread, but a minor inconvenience with all that unnecessary scrolling.

Naturally, when I go to test this after I make the OP, the issue is gone upon the doublecheck. Please feel free to delete this topic, or leave it, or whatever.

I'm assuming being on a mobile device, you're using a touchscreen? Chances are, what happened is that you originally clicked on the "light" to the side of the topic (blue in the following image), which takes you to newest post, instead of clicking on the topic title, which takes you to the original post.

Thanks for that post.

 

I just did a little more testing and you're right in that it only happens with a thread that has a new post. But it doesn't seem to matter if I click on the little light or the title of the thread itself, so there is some issue still.

LOL, I know how you feel.

I use these forums on my mobile, but prefer desktop mode. I always have to click the 'full version' button at the bottom. It would be great if I could make my default setting 'full version'.
