It's not working for me, either! (And I changed my password etc. to get back on the New & Improved ECF! ;))

HELP!


NEVERMIND, I read Rolygate's response to this issue in the "Back Online" thread! :blush:

I think Roly may be optimistic in thinking that this is something to do with the software forgetting things prior to the server update. The first unread issue as well as being returned to the first page of a thread after posting is something that is happening with threads started after the server update. It's also happening with older threads that I've returned to a couple of times since the completion of the update. I posted a reply indicating this in the Back Online thread hoping that it will catch someone's attention who can fix the issues.

It's working ok for me on shorter threads, less than 10 pages. But the one I use the most has over 500 pages, so it just keeps going to page number one. Is someone trying to tell me I spend too much time on here :laugh:

You are correct. I just checked and it does seem to work on the shorter threads but fails on longer threads.

I've found that if I leave a thread open on the last page and reload after I get an email notification that a new post has been added that the View First Unread link appears and works correctly. However, clicking on the thread link in the email notification takes me to the first page of the thread with no link for View First Unread appearing. The same thing happens if I use the "Go to the first new post" link in the thread listings for a forum.

Sonic - If I navigate to the thread by clicking on the thread title in the list on the forum page and if the thread is less than one page long the View First Unread link appears and works correctly.

However, if I do the same thing and the thread is longer than one page I get taken to the first page.

Also, if I leave the last page of a thread open and reload after new post(s) have been added the View First Unread link will appear. The link will work correctly only if all new post(s) are on the the previous last page. If a new page has been added for the new post(s) the View First Unread link takes me to the first page of the thread.

Navigating to the thread by clicking on the Go to the first new post link or by clicking on the thread link in an email notification always takes me to the first page of the thread and no View First Unread link appears.
