Can't jump to particular pages

BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation · 2022-04-27T15:26:23+00:00

I can't go to, say, Page 4 of a thread straight away. Have to click on the forward button > and go through each page 😐 I've restarted my phone etc. but still can't do it. Also, there's often a big lag when typing words into the text box. This site is glitch central atm. There also seems to be Glitch of The Day that we have to look forward to now 🙄

Hi all - thanks for reporting - this should be fixed now. Let us know if not.

Yep, I have IPad with Safari OS and it doesn't work on this either. It's so tedious, having to repeatedly press the forward arrow instead of 'go to page x'. And amongst this we have also lost the very useful 'see last' page function which was great if you wanted to see latest posts on a fast moving thread or one you had posted on.
plus 'refresh' used to be a lot quicker from within the thread rather than finding the title bar at the top of your device.

To get to 'trending' now seems to take two to three extra clicks, and is a real downgrade from the little 'trending' box which used to be permanently visible on the top right of the Active Conversations page.

Yeah, I've noticed that clicking on things often doesn't elicit a response now. Have to keep clicking.

It's surprising how many things are wrong, but you find workarounds or tolerate it until you suddenly realise it's not really acceptable, plus disabled users are struggling🤷‍♀️

Same for me on my phone.
Can't use the page numbers, I can only use the arrow which is annoying if I just want to jump to the last page but have to flip through every page with the arrow.

catsonahottinroof · 27/04/2022 17:33

People are going to stop bothering, or just post willy nilly on long threads because they can't read the whole thing.

oviraptor21 · 27/04/2022 17:32

Thank you for the tip to use the arrow which has worked.
Otherwise I have the same issue as you - the page numbers don't work.

catsonahottinroof · 27/04/2022 17:32

Same here, though it was working until earlier today (on Chrome).

Humbold · 27/04/2022 17:31

Tell a lie just tried again and can use the forward arrow which isn't too much of a pain on a 3 page thread - but still not functioning well!

Violetparis · 27/04/2022 17:30

Same here, the site is so awful to use now.

Humbold · 27/04/2022 17:28

Can't get past page 1 on any thread. Also pages are juddering and because of this I keep accidentally clicking on the Ads - so annoying! Android phone Safari I think.

Laska2Meryls · 27/04/2022 17:24

Oh thats weird.. its now let me see latest threads.. I have been trying to get there for at least the last 20mins
I think you have to post a complaint , then it works !

riotlady · 27/04/2022 17:24

Same here

SpindleInTheWind · 27/04/2022 17:20

It's like "now fucking what?" every day on here

TheMadGardener · 27/04/2022 17:19

Same for me, using Android Chrome and can only go to page 1 on each thread.

@Laska2Meryls could you post something then you'll be on that thread?

Same IOS on iPad, stuck on the front pages some threads

I've flipped a thread and that seems to work, although having the OP's opening post at the top is off-putting.

I wish they'd just get a new platform 🤦‍♀️ this happens every time they do something. Weeks, if not months, of glitchy struggles.

Same. IPhone .

Laska2Meryls · 27/04/2022 17:16

You cant flip pages though in Talk topics to get to.the most recent threads as far as I can see ..
.Flip only works for posts if you are on thread ..

Laska2Meryls · 27/04/2022 17:14

I was just trying to get onto the latest camping talk topic page ( which looks like its is something like page 257)
And it only lets you start at page one ( which are threads from 2011 or something ! )... Then only will let you scroll through each page individually..

BatshitCrazyWoman · 27/04/2022 17:08

Same. Android, Chrome.

Have given up to be honest. Don't have the skip to page thing since all the changes, just numbers and arrows. Which now don't work. Combined with only being able to go to the first page of threads on my watch list, it's all a bit pointless now!

I shall flip the threads, but my brain might get confused 🤪😃

Same. Only arrows work.

Android chrome

kittykarate · 27/04/2022 16:51

In Firefox 91.8 Windows 10 the <> buttons work, but the skip to page number does not.

I've been cheating and using > to go to page 2 and then changing the page number in the URL . You could probably manually add ' ?page=15 ' at the end the URL to skip to page 15 of a thread.
