Threads not opening automatically at last post I read

[SwedishEdith]

This is really irritating. Threads I'm watching always used to open where I left off. Now, after a slight pause, they open at the first post. That's creating a lot of scrolling on long threads.

Plus, sometimes, the agree conditions page appears and then disappears once I start scrolling. Feels like something is broken.

Android phone using DuckDuckGo.

I thought that too. It's so irritating I have to bookmark my place now. Android, on Chrome

Following for updates... I keep bookmarking posts then when I go back to the thread it opens at the top.

(Mobile site, chrome browser, android phone)

I also use DuckDuckGo but on iOS and mine jumps to the bottom of the page, to the trending/shopping lists of threads so I have to scroll back up until I see a post I remember

Mine have never done that! Always have to start from the top it’s sooooo annoying

Sort of glad it's not just me. It's so irritating on long running threads having to wade back to where you were.

Thanks for alerting us. We're looking into this and will report back asap.

Hi, thanks for flagging this, and sorry it’s been frustrating. It may be related to DuckDuckGo’s privacy settings, which can affect how some features on the website work. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do on our side to fix those issues.

If you bookmark a post you should jump to the post if you click the thread title in your threads I'm on/watching lists. We'll look in to why that's not happening on Chrome and get back to you as soon as we can.

If you want to go to the latest post on the thread, you can try clicking the newest post link in the thread list rather than the thread title. That should take you straight to the latest post, though it won’t necessarily be where you last stopped reading.

Thanks but the bookmark feature isn't working either. Something is clearly broken.

Same for me on Edge. Halfway through a page, nip to the loo, put the kettle on. Come back to having to read from the top again.

Weirdly, (coincidentally?) it's now fixed. This had been going on for days - maybe even a few weeks. Only change was the Agree/Disagree to adverts page didn't appear and disappear, as it had been doing, but got stuck stuck. Clicked Agree and the issue has resolved. Interesting.
