Default Forum Not Picking Up Where You Left Off

I’m always participating on the forum with my phone (iPhone) and since the forum update, when I click on a thread that I’ve browsed or posted in before, it no longer takes me to where I left off like it used to, instead it always starts back on page 1. I’m not sure if this is happening to people using computers or tablets.

Is there any way to have this changed?

I agree!!!!! On my android phone as well. You now only get 2 choices, the 1st post when you click the thread title or the last post of you click latest post. Going back to where you left off is not available now.

They hired some MOCO IT people, so let me save you a trip. Lock up pop ups, fake virus alerts...."They all do that."

But seriously, I can’t imagine it’s that hard of a fix for someone who handles the maintenance with this website.

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever even noticed that link Ron. Thanks for pointing it out.

As Ron750 said, you can certainly click on 'View First Unread'...but the mobile version used to do that automatically, and it was significantly easier to use than it is now.

The reason why it takes you to the very first post in the thread is because somehow through notifications you lose your login that's what I found causes that issue... If you log and on that thread and then view others it's okay but as soon as you go back to your notification your email notification and you check another new thread you are no longer logged in, hence first post of the thred because it doesn't see you...

Not sure what you mean but I never get logged out automatically. Never had an issue with that.

Veekness, it was easier when it just jumped to where you left off but the “first unread” tab is working for now. I’m guessing something changed with the use of cookies or what have you under the new format.
