The last couple of days when I look at Active, or any other section (Gardening, Site Stuff etc) every time I come out of a thread it takes me back to the top, so I then have to scroll past all the threads I've read to get back to where I was. It's very annoying, could you fix it please? Grin I'm on an Android phone, using the desktop site.

Thanks for the extra info, @Howinthehelldidthishappen

It doesn't happen to me every time, I'm using the browser back button. Both on my samsung phone on samsung internet, and on my laptop on google.
It is way more frequent on my phone, but still happening on both.

Hi everyone. A few things can affect whether a page “remembers” your place when you go back (for example, how the browser handles the back button, caching behaviour, or whether the page reloads when you return). That can sometimes vary depending on browser and settings, particularly when using the desktop site on a mobile device.

If you’re seeing this, it would really help if you could let us know whether you’re using the browser back button or site navigation and whether it happens every time

Hi @Pinkywoo. Can we just check, are you still using the main site but on an Android phone? And have you tried clearing your cache since this started happening again?

I’ve also still got the same problem.

MN Towers seem to have given up on the thread though.

DPotter · 26/09/2025 11:44

had reported the failure to go back to same point on a previous page as sorted, but the problem is back again this morning. Page back and it goes to the top of the lists

I use the DuckDuckGo browser which blocks all the ads and gets rid of the glitches.

I quite like the bright blue....

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 25/09/2025 06:55

Oh no, sorry. I can’t change the font, but that wasn’t the thing that was bothering me much amidst all the other hoo har.

It's only offering me these two things to change colour. I can't change the bright blue font in active threads, can you?

Same for me, I don't have an option to change the blue

Settings /more settings/ talk settings

It’s let me change the nasty blue to a subtle green. I can’t get rid of the big red ‘My posts’ box though - horrible.

And it’s still just dumping me on random pages in threads, so it’s almost impossible to work out where I left it.

Ooh I’ve just managed to get rid of the boxes.

Will be dumping MN soon though, if I can’t pick up on the last post I wrote. It’s making the user experience really crap.

Cleared my cache yesterday and it stopped doing it. Now today it’s back. Users should not have to clear their cache every day to use a website!

Ksibeij · 24/09/2025 19:31

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/09/2025 16:50

Go to your settings and you can change the blue.

@LilyMumsnet any idea why it’s not working for me still please? I’ve cleared my cache, closed the tab and reopened.

Same

Howinthehelldidthishappen · 24/09/2025 07:47

I see that has been sorted. Well partially.
Old colours are back for posts, but the blue is still too just in your face.

Seems to be working for me too now, that's great.

Howinthehelldidthishappen · 24/09/2025 07:47

Howinthehelldidthishappen · 24/09/2025 06:16

Mine is working too.
Thanks.
Now about the colours....

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/09/2025 06:53

I have, however, discovered that if you go into the MN settings, you can change the colours.

CameForAVacationStayedForTheRevolution · 24/09/2025 06:32

Have shut tabs, cleared cache and it’s still not working for me.

i literally post this message and then get taken to the second page on this thread! Am on an iPad, safari.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/09/2025 06:25

Pippadeck · 23/09/2025 21:02

Have you tried closing the app/that tab and reloading the app/your browser as well?

Show quote history

Yep. Tried that with no joy. It just takes me to random pages within a thread or the first page. I’m on Safari.

Howinthehelldidthishappen · 24/09/2025 06:16

Looks much better. Thanks
