cmovieviewer Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 The default content viewing behavior has changed. For example, when you look at a list of topics in a forum, you will see the topic titles listed along the left side together with the avatar of the author of the most recent message post on the right side with the time when the latest message was posted. If you click on this time, it used to take you to the latest message that was posted. Now it will take you to the first message in the thread. For topics with many posts, this can be many pages away from the latest post. I assume most users will want to go directly to the latest post, not the first message in the thread (there can be hundreds of posts). Clicking on the date/time for the latest message and having it take you to the first message instead is not an expected behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically click on the "star" or "dot" icon on the left hand side which takes you to the first unread comment in the thread. When you hover over the timestamp on the right-hand side, do you see a URL (likely at the bottom of your browser window) that ends with this: ?do=getLastComment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmovieviewer Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 I believe it works as expected if the member settings option 'Content View Behavior' is set to 'Take me to the latest comment' However, for members that have a different setting or visitors that are not members, the default behavior goes to the beginning of the thread. That is the 'default' behavior I am referring to in comparison with the way it worked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is set to "Take me to the beginning" Sorry I'm not more help here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swithin Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Trouble logging in. I have to try two or three times, then it works. Recent problem, due presumably to the technical changes. I use Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because someone else who stays in London said that they couldn't log in anymore from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to log on regularly from London, but then it became almost impossible to do so. Then, it became sort of possible again. Bogie had issues as well, as I recall, don't know what the situation is now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
