CKSedg Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I hope someone can help me: I always view the forums by clicking on the "recent" tab and then the little green arrows. Most of the time the green arrows take me to the most recent entry that I haven't read---like I think their designed to do. However, many times it will take me to the top of the thread, instead. Am I doing something wrong?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfing4Dough Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I do the same. Rarely find the same thing, but just assume that I have bad aim and I miss clicking the green arrow, which then instead causes a click on the text for the thread (thus taking it to the top of the thread).

DownTown Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I have the same issue occasionally. I just chalk it up to an imperfect user using imperfect software running on imperfect hardware connected to an imperfect network. Stuff happens.D.T.

KenL_MCSE Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 It is not you. In IE9, when I left click on the green arrow it takes me to the top of the forum. However, when I right click and choose open in new tab, it does open to the correct location.Bottom line is somehow, somewhere and it is not you, the &first_new=1 is being dropped between the time you click and the time the page opens.it would not surprise me if session variable that this site uses is trimming the get request.

But thanks for your help, everyone. I guess I'll just live with it for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoore60 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I always attributed going to the first post in a thread due to the fact it was a thread I had not viewed in a while. Most threads that I frequent work properly when I left click on the green arrow.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I have a somewhat related issue besides the current one in discussion. When I left click on any link, at least 50% of the time it shows the page is loading but nothing happens and click the link a second time and the page comes right up. It sucks when posting, trying to avoid a double post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
