blimey! that subject doesn't make much sense..sorry!

i'll try again..

in the 'thread i'm on' bit, for some of the threads i can jump straight to the newest post by clicking on their name but on others ie my post-natal one, i get dumped at the beginning of the thread and then have to go to last page etc

i hope you can sort this BigTech, did i ever tell you that i think you're wonderful?!

Me too!

Are you on a mac by any chance? Not that I have a solution...

And BigTech, I've always defended you

miamla · 12/11/2009 17:56

well would you believe it...i am on a mac! (using safari)

tethersend.. is it the same on all of your threads, or just some?

I have the same problem and apparently it is only when you have it in page view rather than one long list. I changed mine to one long list and it worked BUT i hate the list and prefer the pages so have resorted to juspagin to the end to read.

Please o please wonderful Bigtech can you make it better again?

I am on a PC

juneybean · 12/11/2009 18:07

I'm on a PC with firefox and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't

Tortington · 12/11/2009 18:08

i search ap hrase - it comes up with the thread with the phrase or word in it - and i have to take note of the time and scroll down to find it

really fucked up since the site fuck up the other week. but i did complain - it was noted as Justine made a point of it

so i just give up!

JustAnotherManicMummy · 12/11/2009 18:32

I have the same problem. I'm using IE.

It works ok if the thread is just a page long - taking me to the particular post I've clicked - but if it's longer than one page it just takes me to the first page.

Very annoying. Both the quality and quantity of my posts has been very badly affected. In fact, I may not even make the round-up this week because of it And I was so hoping for the hat-trick

tethersend · 12/11/2009 18:33

miamla- snap. I'm on a mac using safari and it happens on some threads but not others.

I haven't a clue what's going on.

squeaver · 12/11/2009 18:36

yes yes to all of the above. So annoying.

But they're all in the pub celebrating being the Telegraph's beeatches so doubt we'll hear anything tonight.

TheFoosa · 12/11/2009 18:53

this is what happens in search too - it lists every individual post for that thread, but if you click on a certain post it takes you straight to the top

you then have to scroll through to find the post you want

sunshineonarainyday · 12/11/2009 18:59

TheFoosa - same happens to me. Am on a mac using safari

Hullygully · 12/11/2009 19:02

vair vair annoying.

tethersend · 12/11/2009 19:03

Ironically, it works for me on this thread

JustAnotherManicMummy · 12/11/2009 19:07

tethersend I think it works on the first page only.

tethersend · 12/11/2009 19:24

Right, JustAnotherManicMummy, let's fill up this page with meaningless drivel and test that theory until we get to page two...

I'll go first

there.

Hope you're right.

MiniMarmite · 12/11/2009 19:26

I have the same problem

tethersend · 12/11/2009 19:31

Are we on page two yet?

Shit.

JustAnotherManicMummy · 12/11/2009 19:46

We need another 9 posts to hit page 2. Here's one.

JustAnotherManicMummy · 12/11/2009 19:46

And another.

JustAnotherManicMummy · 12/11/2009 19:47

Here's a for the team

Hmmm, so to clarify - it doesn't happen on every thread? I'll have to refer to the wisdom of Big Tech...
