Opening in the middle of threads in “Threads I’m on”

6 replies

Mindthegap725 · 15/11/2022 10:14

Could anyone advise please because this is driving me mad! I am not particularly tech savvy though so maybe I am doing something wrong?

I am going in to “Threads I’m on” and it shows (as usual) the thread title and part of the most recent post. But just as I click to get to that point, the screen changes and I find myself in the middle of a thread, not knowing in which direction I should be scrolling. And I have to scroll up or down a long way manually to pinpoint where I am on the thread and reorientate myself. Obviously this is worse, or virtually impossible, on a thread that is very long.

I found it so much easier to navigate Mumsnet when you could click to the “first” or to “last” post.

Does anyone know pls why the curser is automatically jumping to the mid-point of the thread on opening?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi @Mindthegap725 - sorry to hear you're having this problem. Can you please let us know which device and browser you're using and which version of the site (desktop/mobile/app) so we can try to work out what's going on?

Thanks in advance.

Hi again OP - am back with a few more questions for you Smile

Could you please let us know what exactly you're clicking on on your I’m on list - is it the title of the post or the new posts?

Also do you use bookmarks at all? That may well affect things when you click through.

Hello @ DawnMumsnet thanks very much for your help!

Sorry, I should have said that this only happens on my Iphone. Tablet is fine!

And I am accessing Mumsnet via Google, not through the app. I always click on the title of the thread itself btw, not on the new posts within it.

I am embarrassed to admit that I have avoided bookmarks bc I tried to make them work and couldn’t work out how! Apologies! I probably should have tried to do that before whinging on here! 😄

Hi again DawnMumsnet has someone fixed it, because it has reverted back to being fine now? I can see all the “ threads I’m on” with the newest posts displayed. Thank you very much indeed! Much appreciated!
