Not sure if people use it or not. Is there a way to measure the clicks from it? That's up there with "get rid of the Shuttle forum section!

Question about the mobile website handling of unread topics.Do you use a cookie on the mobile browser to track last message read for a topic, or is the message number tracked on the server associated with my logged in id?I often switch back and forth between my iPhone Safari browser and my Windows 10 desktop Chrome browser. I have NO confidence in the mobile browser ability to position me at the next unread message for a topic, whether last visited via mobile or desktop browser.This is something I think the <cast your favorite aspersion> Tapatalk application did, but I've been trying to switch off of that and use the mobile website.Suggestions? Chrome on iPhone maybe? Or is there a setting in my profile I've not found ...

Something's going on with the mobile version since the last hour. Mark's been informed.

Mark's been informed.There might have been a reset (my bad) to your mobile preferences which leads to you getting another "privacy" and/or "cookie" and/or "registration" page. After switching to the mobile theme (bottom of page) everything should be back to normal.Mark

Or maybe it's somewhere I'm not looking.I'd like to figure out what the setting is for what parameter and how to set it on mine, because to be clear ...Right now, on my account, in mobile mode, on the Recent Unread Topics page, the right arrow down the right hand side of the screen gets me a URL to the last message posted in the topic thread, and I would like it to instead give me a url to the first unread message (e.g., #new) of the topic thread. How to I make it do that?Thanks for your help.Ed
3. Website does not respect the "desktop site" option in the mobile browser. For obvious reasons, I want to use the desktop version of the site, but the server insists on sending the mobile layout regardless.
I'm having some severe usability issues with the mobile version of the forum....2. When posting a message, the form layout is recalculated after every letter, or indeed any time the cursor is moved. This results in the browser reseting the view to the top of the page, rendering posting messages longer than what fit the screen effectively impossible.
That's the strangest issue I've ever seen with mobile NSF. *Seems* to be just RH, but yeah - before Mark tries to work it out, I've never heard anyone else note such an issue, so it could be specific to this member. Still want to get to the bottom of it.
You are correct, I am indeed getting a different link, I didn't notice it, and it is taking me to the last page.
