It's been this way for a long time and makes the mobile version quite a pain to use if you've not viewed unread for a while. For as long as I can stand it, I go to the last post with that button then scroll backwards to find where I think I left off. Really not ideal. The desktop site is far too small on my phone so that's not a solution.

Whenever i visit NSF main page on my phone (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/) and then press the menu to go to the forums, the NSF logo at the top takes 1-2 seconds to load and changes the other items' position in that list, causing misclicks.can anything be done to fix this? Might be small but causes some annoyance.attached a screenshot with the logo in question; using the latest version of chrome mobile on android.

I hope I’m not imagining it.

Just spent and enjoyable hour or so working my way around the forums in mobile mode on my iPhone and it works like a charm. Thanks.

Just spent and enjoyable hour or so working my way around the forums in mobile mode on my iPhone and it works like a charm. Thanks.I'm still getting this issue in the Unread Posts view (my default way to view NSF) - https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?action=unreadExample 1 I have never read the thread "Proton-M/Briz-M - EUTELSAT 5 West B & MEV-1 - October 9, 2019 (10:17 UTC)"Tapping the title of that thread takes me to the first post, as expceted. URL:https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=41418.0;topicseenHowever, tapping the right-arrow takes me to the very last post, despite there being many unread ones. The URL is a hard link to that post:https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=41418.msg2003353;topicseen#msg2003353Example 2 I regularly read the thread "SpaceX Starship : Texas Prototype(s) Thread 3 : Discussion"I know for a fact that multiple posts have been made since I last viewed it (the Replies counter has gone up more than one) yet the right-arrow still takes me to the last post. URL:https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=49114.msg2003356;topicseen#msg2003356All testing done in a Private desktop firefox window, with developer tools to spoof the deviceIDHOWEVER if I manually navigate to a category, eg "Space Policy Discussion"https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?board=44.0and click the right-arrow on a thread I rarely read eg "FAA Streamlined Launch and Reentry Licensing Requirements"Then I do get taken to the first unread post. URL:https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=47923.msg1975128#newnote the slightly different format of the URL, with "#new" on the end instead of ";topicseen#msgnnnnnnn"Therefore, the issue lies with the formatting of the Unread Posts template which must use different code to generate the URL for the right-arrow. It needs to use the same code as the normal category display.
Yeah, full site theme is better on mobile than it was, but the "new" button is tiny and that's the place I actually want to go. If that could be made big enough to tap reliably, that'd send me home happy.
This is a strange issue I came across on one thread. Anyone else ever had this issue and if so what was your solution?
Honest question: is NSF interested in improving the workings (layout/interface) of this site? I see a lot of energy going into YouTube and Discord, which is excellent. Maybe that's the focus now.
As I read the forum more and more on mobile devices, with mobile theme, no tap a talk, could we have a 'like' button of sorts on the mobile forum theme pls? The how is different matter of course. Button? Sliding like in email?

It has been updated to work on mobile, not perfect and still plenty of room for improvement, but eminently usable.
