Threads forgetting places last watched.

[Salty seadog]

I am increasingly having an issue whereby on the whole when opening threads it goes to the last page I viewed, however more and more it seems to be opening them on page one even if I have succesfully viewed it from my last point several times in the last few minutes, this happens accross all three platforms I use.

Not overly a serious problem causing me to consider giving up cycling but irritating none the less......

......Perhaps this is mundane news.....

I occasionally get something similar when it will keep going back to the same post several times rather than moving onto the first unread one. But normally on the correct page.

I thought that what happens is it goes to first unread post, but if you have read everything then it goes to page 1

I ran an update a couple of nights ago and you may have some residual older files in your browser cache. Try clearing your browser cache, then logging out of CC on your machine/device and then back in again.

Let me know if that resolves it?

Cheers,

@Shaun after clearing the cache and all i played around and it seems that Dogtrousers is correct, it will go to last unread post unless you have been to the last in the thread whereby it opens up on page one next time. A strange thing to do.

Did that before.

Yes, that is the correct behaviour - sorry, I thought it was behaving differently.

Although it may be I dont think many would consider it correct, a bit irritating maybe, I wonder what the thinking is behind that behaviour.

I think there's also a time limit on its memory? Perhaps a year? When people resurrect a thread that I know I read in its first incarnation I often seem to start at the beginning again.

Read markers are kept for 180 days.

I often get taken to the beginning of a thread rather than where I was. I also get some threads I am part of/watchingwhere I no longer get notifications when new posts are made.

If you have read a thread up-to-date you will be taken to the start when you click on it. If it's bold and has the little bobble to show there are new posts, you should be taken to the last page you read from; although there is a 180 day limit to the software remembering where you were. (You can also manually go to the first post by clicking the date underneath the thread title - if you want to for any reason.)

As to alerts, you'll only get one alert to tell you a thread has new posts and until you visit the thread and read it up-to-date again, you won't get an further alerts. You can quickly check on all threads you are watching though using the Watched Threads link in the navigation.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Shaun

It does (mainly) thank you! But with the photograph thread, I find that I have to hunt it down to see new posts which means I miss quite a few foot and egret pictures

Just out of curiosity, have a look at all of your recent alerts and see if you can find one for the photography thread (it might be on page 2 or further back): https://www.cyclechat.net/account/alerts

Alerts can end up being pushed down and off the list if you don't keep on top of them (or get masses of them) so can sometimes accidentally be missed.

There are no alerts (edit.. for that particular thread) in the 20 pages on there!
I've gone back to the thread and it's taken me to 4th September which is the first new unread post for me. I've not been getting alerts for this thread for quite some time, but it is a watched thread....
