moving to next pages takes me to the end not the start

[Brefugee]

as the title says. Laptop, Edge, 25 posts per page

When i get to the bottom of a page and click on the next number, when i get to that page, it automatically goes to the bottom of the page.

Is this a bug or a new feature?

Hi @Brefugee. We are aware of an issue with this and are looking at it now. If it's possible to catch this happening, it would be really useful to see a screen video of it in action. You can email it to [email protected] if you are able to grab one. Thank you!

oh i never thought of doing that, sorry.

it seems to have stopped now, but if it happens again i'll send a recording.

quick note for @HebeMumsnet - it happened again and i have managed to catch it in action with the Snipping tool. Have emailed.

Thanks so much @Brefugee - we're taking a look now.

You're welcome. I was very excited to learn how to do the video of my screen - i've always wondered 😂

It has been happening for a while for me too on my iPhone using safari.

it doesn't happen on my Android phone (i don't use the app)
Weird!

Weirdly, it’s happening for me on some threads I’m on but not others.

The current theory among users is that it happens after you start to post a message but then don't post it. After that, any page on the thread goes directly to the bottom of the page, whether you select a new page or jump into one partway down via Notifications.

If true, this explains why it happens on some threads & not others, or seems to happen at certain times & then not & then it does again.

I guess one way to avoid it is to always carry on & post something - if you change your mind, just delete what you've typed & replace it with a single character, & post that.

I have also found that recently if doing an advanced search, if i click the link the link takes me to the bottom of the page and not to the post. If that is helpful to you @HebeMumsnet

I've been able to reproduce the behaviour consistently on my Android smartphone, with Opera Browser (sent a bug report). It happens to me always when I reply but do not send. Doesn't matter if I use the bin button to delete the reply or anything else. Once you put the cursor in the reply field you're doooomed.... 😁

The only way to end this is indeed to post an empty message with just a full stop or any other. That resets the status.

Yes, this is the same on safari on iPhone.

Hi all, thanks for your patience while we looked into this. The issue is now fixed – please let us know if you run into any further problems.

i noticed that - thank you!

Happened to me today.

Does anyone know why I dont get pages anymore. Just endless posts in one long run. So to get to the end I have to just scole for ages rather than click on the last page.
It didn’t used to do this

@DrPrunesqualer is it this?

Wow!
Youve hit the nail on the head there

Thankyou Thankyou !! 💐

Just to add, the bookmark feature still isn't working as it should. Threads open on last post, not bookmarked post.

Also, I got logged out overnight & couldn't log back in the first couple of times I tried. When I was logged out, some threads were showing a version from days ago, e.g. this one, on which the thread ended with Becky & Brefugee's posts from 24 June, & the Woolly Hugs for Swashbuckled one, which had several pages missing.

The 'go directly to the end of the thread' thing was still happening yesterday.

Going to the end of a thread I deleted a draft on is still happening to me. Mobile site, iOS.

Hi all, thank you for keeping us updated on these issues - we are currently working on a fix for the bug where bookmarks aren't working properly and you are being jumped to the bottom of the thread. Thank you for your patience and we will update you as soon as we can.
