Advanced Search Question

Hi Tech, asked this question on another thread but it's better off in here.

Posting from a TwatPhone iOS 11.2.5 using Safari.

When I use advanced Search, when I click on the post (or poster) I am looking for, instead of taking me directly to the post within the thread, it drops me at the top of the thread. It never used to.

It's a pain in the arse. Especially if it's a long thread (eg, I was looking for a post I made a long time ago about the flooding in my home town. Adv Search found my post really quickly, as I knew a 'key' word and (obvs) that it was posted in my name. However when I clicked on that actual post it took me to the top of that thread and I had to scroll through, nearly to the bottom, to find the post I was after).

Another poster has the same issue, but someone who posts using their laptop doesn't. Is it just a phone thing?

Would appreciate you taking a look, cheers.

Bumpity bump

SilverySurfer · 18/05/2019 14:18

Bumping and also linking to www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/3588222-Read-threads-not-changing-colour-to-show-they-have-been-read on which MNHQ has yet to comment.

Ten day bump - still not working.

SilverySurfer · 02/05/2019 15:11

I'm using a laptop, not a mobile and it's still not working for me.

Hi there all,

We can see there's still an issue on mobile - we're looking into a fix.

Pinkywoo · 29/04/2019 08:29

Just tried again and the problem still hasn't been fixed.

Pinkywoo · 17/04/2019 14:41

Any news on this?

Thanks for updating us. We've flagged this up to our Tech team again.

Pinkywoo · 04/04/2019 19:03

Nope still not working, if I click on the thread title of the search result it works, but clicking on the relevant comment brings up this.

SilverySurfer · 04/04/2019 17:59

I got excited for a moment but no change. As an example I searched my name for the past year and chose a thread at random - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/a3162566-To-ring-him-at-work#75471825

I can't remember how many posts per page I have it set to but for me this is a four page thread and I posted five or six times. It still takes me to the top of page one if longer than one page. Sad

Hi all,

This should be fixed now... can you let us know if its still happening?

SilverySurfer · 02/04/2019 17:39

I agree, this thread was started in January 2018. I find it hard to believe it takes 15 months to fix. I did suggest back in February that if the Tech Team decided it was beyond their capabilities, to just tell us so we know it's never going to be fixed but Anya said Good news! Tech have replicated the issue so it's in the queue, it should be fixed soon some time never I guess.

bibbitybobbityyhat · 02/04/2019 17:11

I grumbled for the nth time this issue on a thread titled "AIBU to think this site is really basic" in early February.

Just been to look to see if I could find what I wrote. It comes up as a thread I'm on when I advanced search my name but when I click I get the broken link message.

Agree with a pp that this happens more and more frequently too.

Come on HQ! can you kindly put a mini rocket under Tech?

SilverySurfer · 01/04/2019 17:57

Bump for a Monday reminder

SilverySurfer · 28/03/2019 07:10

And a monthly bump from me. Any news from the Tech Team?

Pinkywoo · 27/03/2019 16:39

Bump

Pinkywoo · 25/03/2019 21:33

Any update?

ClosdesMouches · 22/03/2019 20:02

Can confirm this is still happening.
Would appreciate a further update. It's been over a year....

Pinkywoo · 16/03/2019 22:01

Hi, this is still happening, any idea when it will be fixed?

SilverySurfer · 28/02/2019 17:15

Brilliant news! Thanks so much for letting us know.

Hi all,

Good news! Tech have replicated the issue so it's in the queue, it should be fixed soon.

Hi there @SilverySurfer,

We're chasing this now to see where it's at - apologies it's taking so long.

SilverySurfer · 28/02/2019 11:42

Hi, this is my weekly bump. Advanced Search still not working on threads with more than one page. Any news from the Tech Team?

If it's beyond their capabilities to fix please let us know. I will stop bumping this thread and we will have to learn to live with it.

Many thanks, until next week.

SilverySurfer · 20/02/2019 17:05

Hi, I'm bumping to ask if the Tech Team have had a moment to fix Advanced Search?

Thanks

SilverySurfer · 08/02/2019 16:19

Bumping because Advanced Search is still not working as intended. I appreciate the Tech Team have no doubt been busy with the issue of logging into other member's accounts.

I hope they have a more relaxed week ahead and can find a moment to fix Advanced Search.

Many thanks.
