issue with app - losing thread!

I use the MN app on iPhone - I'm on IOS 8.2.1 and had the new purple version that came out last year. I reinstalled MN a couple of months ago so I think I have the latest version.

In the past, I could click in and out of the app and it would still be open at the same page - e.g. If I was reading a thread in S&B, I could click on all the links to various frocks and then go back to MN and still have the same thread open. If I was halfway through writing a post and wanted to link to a frock myself, I could also leave the app to c+p the link and then return to my half-written post.

If I left the app for longer then it would tend to reopen at the 'home page' (I.e. Active).

In the last couple of weeks, every time I click on a link or leave the app for a sec to check on something, when I go back to MN I get the little holding circle and then it resets to the home page. It's so annoying as I then have to search through to find the thread I was on, which may have fallen off Active by then.

I have tried coming out the slow way (ie clicking once out of MN and back to my home screen and then into Google/safari) and the quick way (double clicking so I can see all open pages/apps and selecting one).

Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions MN?

Hope I've explained that clearly enough.

Thanks Smile
