To wonder why I keep being thrown into threads I didnt select

It keeps happening. Everytime I click on a thread a different one opens. It's driving me mad. Anyone else having the same problem?

This happens to me loads and it's really annoying.

I haven't experienced this on any other forum. Fed up reading opening posts, bewildered as to what they have to do with the title, then realising I'm in a completely different thread.

It's incredibly annoying.

The page isn't fully loaded, so you're not clicking what you think you're clicking.

Happens to me too, really annoying. Glad to see it's not just me.

It happens to me but only when I've hid a thread. Its like the app hasn't caught up and takes me to the thread underneath. Weird.

This has been happening to me, I thought it was clumsy thumbs, or my old phone going on the blink.

Me too, I think it's the advertising in the middle.

Heygirlheyboy · 11/04/2020 21:51

I thought it was because of a crack on my phone!

BreconBeBuggered · 11/04/2020 21:49

Don't get it with threads as such, but my fat finger scrolling constantly takes me to 'Get started' or 'View all messages' when I try to move onto a new page. Drives me nuts.

ThisMustBeMyDream · 11/04/2020 21:48

Happens to me all the time. I assume it jumps just as I select. Combination of ads loading and slow internet or slow phone. I don't know which to blame!

sorryiasked · 11/04/2020 21:47

On my phone it's because the banner ad at the top of the page is slow to load and when it does it moves the threads down by a couple. Drives me mad too

JustAnotherMumTho · 11/04/2020 21:47

Happens to me too! I'd always just assumed I was fat fingered and pressing the wrong one, but maybe not!

Yes it's always happened to me, I assumed it was my phone. I'll select one thread and then either a thread underneath or a few underneath/above will pop up instead.

I've started zooming in before selecting a thread, seems to work so far
