    Forum wouldn’t let me log in on my iPhone, let me log in on my tablet and laptop.

    Tried @OmgFrigginMike method but it still didn’t let me join the forum, instead it made me enter a username. Oddly enough when I typed my normal username in it said it was available. Even though I was logged in on my tablet. After typing in my user name it worked. So it’s fine 😂

    PS @Itsfine they will change your username if you contact them. I had to do that when I rejoined since I no longer had access to my former email address I originally signed up with.

    I want them to go away after I have read them. The only way for Ms to get rid of the dots is to click “Mark all read”

    Click on your avatar on the banner at top right.

    An envelope will appear in the slide out. Click that.

    It's also under your avatar menu if you're zoomed in on your PC.

    The photo uploading problem seems to have stopped for me. Anybody else still having this problem? Page still scrolls past the most recent post to the bottom of the page, though.

    Mine has actually started working as intended but I couldn’t tell you why. I had that issue for a bit.

    @ShawnOL what does your home screen look like before you open that?

    Rusty, you're on desktop site, I'm on cellphone browsing. I switched to desktop site and it works. When I switched back to cellphone browsing its working. Go figure.

    Since Lindsay fixed Frank's username, maybe we can coerce her into looking at the "jumping to the bottom of the page instead of the last post" problem.

    What say you, @TheCigarChick?

    Lindsey, if you do decide to look into this issue, which we would really appreciate, I did a bit of research and apparently it's a known issue with some ways to solve it. Here's what I found:

    I found this which may explain the problem with navigation to unread posts in threads. tl;dr it looks like the forum is trying to jump to the latest post before the page has fully loaded.

    Higher Logic Vanilla "jump to new posts" links can sometimes incorrectly land at the bottom of a page, rather than at the first unread post. This is typically caused by a race condition where the page attempts to scroll to the anchor link before all content, such as images or scripts, has finished loading. When the rest of the page content loads, it pushes the intended destination down. This bug is well-documented in online forums related to anchor links and page loading issues, and it is not unique to Higher Logic Vanilla.

    Potential solutions

    Implement custom JavaScript
    For developers or administrators with the ability to add custom JavaScript, a common solution is to delay the scroll action until after the page has fully loaded. This involves waiting for the DOMContentLoaded event before executing the scroll. However, this is a more advanced solution and is only possible if your plan allows for custom code.

    **Contact Higher Logic support
    **Since this is a known issue, the best approach is often to contact Higher Logic's support team directly.
    Provide support with details of the behavior, including which browser versions the issue occurs on.
    The support team may be able to enable a specific addon or adjust settings on the backend to resolve the problem.
    This is especially important if the issue is a bug affecting the core platform, as it may require a fix that only the vendor can apply.

    Thanks for the research, but I don't know if I have the technical abilities - nor the brain power given the projects I'm currently handling - to do this correctly.

    I did find a weird setting for posts which automatically eradicated the custom settings on most of the Forum because the incorrect Parent-Child relationship was chosen, so I fixed that in the hopes it would help the situation at-large. I don't believe the JavaScript is a possibility; I can, however have current CCOM staff open a JIRA ticket with Higher Logic so I don't inadvertently press a bunch of buttons in close proximity and the Forum explodes. 😂

    @peter4jc I think I fixed it? At least I hope I fixed that "jumping to the bottom" issue. Can you test it out and let me know?

    With the new interface I am finding that when I click the notification it's taking me to random time in the discussion now. (August) and there is no skip to last page only jump to specific page HOWEVER the page count is wrong so I don't even know what page number to type in.

    Okay, is it just me, or is this all goofed up now?

    I'm using Android and Chrome. When I click on a topic that it has unread posts but which is not a new topic for me, it takes me to the first page in the very original post and then I have to thumb through to get to the last page.

    the interaction icons are all different now. It also seems to take me to page 1 of any thread I go to.

    I don't have problems, just more work to do.

    Hopefully this is some interim glitch while the problems are fixed?

    @thecigarchick

    I agree with Mike and some other guys. When I click on a thread, it takes me to the very first page. It's because I have it sorted by oldest. I can sort by newest, but it then the conversation is in reverse order of how it happened.

    Also the text box is defaulting to paragraph instead of line break, which is annoying and probably is something I'm going to have to learn to live with. I'm just going to have to get used to hitting the enter button once instead of twice for a new paragraph

    .

    Also when I I click in the box to add a reply to the thread, and I'm using Chrome and Android in the mobile view, and I'm using speech to text, it will stop recording after my first two words.

    If it does continueIf it does continue to record my speech to text after the first couple of words, it repeats the first couple of words twice and keeps going as you can see in this sentence.

    Deskdesktop mode seems to work better for me, but very hard to use on a cell phone.

    Replies replies with quotes seems to look like it's in the ancient 2012 style. Replying to a post in a thread shows the reply nested which is cool.

    TheThe picture interface is pretty cool for adding pictures.
