blimey! that subject doesn't make much sense..sorry!

i'll try again..

in the 'thread i'm on' bit, for some of the threads i can jump straight to the newest post by clicking on their name but on others ie my post-natal one, i get dumped at the beginning of the thread and then have to go to last page etc

i hope you can sort this BigTech, did i ever tell you that i think you're wonderful?! grin

tethersend Thu 12-Nov-09 17:55:22

Me too!

Are you on a mac by any chance? Not that I have a solution...

And BigTech, I've always defended you wink

miamla Thu 12-Nov-09 17:56:32

well would you believe it...i am on a mac! (using safari)

tethersend.. is it the same on all of your threads, or just some?

I have the same problem and apparently it is only when you have it in page view rather than one long list. I changed mine to one long list and it worked BUT i hate the list and prefer the pages so have resorted to juspagin to the end to read.

Please o please wonderful Bigtech can you make it better again?

I am on a PC

I'm on a PC with firefox and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't

i search ap hrase - it comes up with the thread with the phrase or word in it - and i have to take note of the time and scroll down to find it

really fucked up since the site fuck up the other week. but i did complain - it was noted as Justine made a point of it grin

so i just give up!

I have the same problem. I'm using IE.

It works ok if the thread is just a page long - taking me to the particular post I've clicked - but if it's longer than one page it just takes me to the first page.

Very annoying. Both the quality and quantity of my posts has been very badly affected. In fact, I may not even make the round-up this week because of itshock And I was so hoping for the hat-trick <sad sigh>

miamla- snap. I'm on a mac using safari and it happens on some threads but not others.

I haven't a clue what's going on.

yes yes to all of the above. So annoying.

But they're all in the pub celebrating being the Telegraph's beeatches so doubt we'll hear anything tonight.

this is what happens in search too - it lists every individual post for that thread, but if you click on a certain post it takes you straight to the top

you then have to scroll through to find the post you want

<stalker alert>

TheFoosa - same happens to me. Am on a mac using safari

vair vair annoying.

tethersend Thu 12-Nov-09 19:03:07

Ironically, it works for me on this thread hmm

tethersend I think it works on the first page only.

tethersend Thu 12-Nov-09 19:24:09

Right, JustAnotherManicMummy, let's fill up this page with meaningless drivel and test that theory until we get to page two...





I'll go first






there.



Hope you're right.

MiniMarmite Thu 12-Nov-09 19:26:28

I have the same problem

tethersend Thu 12-Nov-09 19:31:43

Are we on page two yet?







Shit.

We need another 9 posts to hit page 2. Here's one.

And another.

Here's a biscuit for the team
