Strictly speaking it's not a bug, looking at the code - that button is inside a section with a style class of "hidden-xs" - which means it gets hidden on small screens (xs = extra small) so it was a conscious decision in the forum software.
A fairly easy change, but I'm not that familiar with the platform being used here and how they're managing changes.
Is there any way to convince the system that I've read/seen posts in a thread, so that clicking the blue box doesn't take me back to the same post each time, which post is ever farther from actual new posts? For example, I always go back to dprevived.com/t/the-exposure-triangle-is-misleading-and-unnecessary/1602/2/#post-12445 in that long thread, despite having read to the end many times and even posted later.
I realize this is a known bug - I'm just wondering if there is a work-around until it's fixed.
Unfortunately not that I know of, the issue seems to be the forum is trying to be clever and keeps track of every post in a thread and whether you've seen each one, rather than the thread as a whole. Sometimes it clears the flags as you scroll, but is pretty unreliable. I believe there is some change coming on this.
Bob,
I have posted 2 pics in under: Photo discussion/Photo critiques/Wed C&C #002/SAD item by - ChrisOly
When you are NOT logged in and just viewing, the very first pic is not visible...
When you are logged in both pics are visible and you are ok.
Someone noticed the discrepancy. Kindly resolve if possible, if and when you have a chance. Thanks.

OK, this is a mixture of a feature and a bug. Alan has set thing up so posted images aren't available when not logged in - to prevent scrping of peoples' images. It shouldn't be showing either, but for some reason is showing the second. Can you please put it in the bugs category and the dev team will deal with it.
I haven't changed anything yet (and I hope none of the other admins have either) . I have been very busy doing other things last week and will have a look at all this over the next few days (probably Monday/Tuesday). If you can wait a few days, I am sure I can sort out what is going on.

Adding links that contain certain "uncommon" characters is still impossible using the rich editor, for example the "@" is blocked. That prevents normal users from adding links to awesome Mastodon accounts like @ShittyCameraChallenge.
"Threads" box showed up on mobile for a while yesterday but now it instantly gets covered up by the box below.
Unfortunately (for now) this is by design, the button (to switch between all/my/subscribed threads) is currently within a container which is hidden on "xs" (extra small screens), so it may show briefly while the browser loads the page.
This would be a fairly minor change, but not sure if it's something we can customise or if it needs to go to the parent Misago project, will make enquiries...
Since the last update, I’ve had to sign in at least a half dozen times. Why does it keep forgetting I’m logged in?
I don't know, but I will check it out with my 'normal' user account. What browser are you using?
Alan
If you
a) clear cookies (this logs you off)
b) reload page with Ctrl+F5 (this is more than just refresh) (desktop only, on mobile there are different ways to achieve same)
c) sign in again
- will that session last more?
For me reloading page (b) was important, otherwise I could see some strange login prompts and errors in various contexts.
If I click any of these
Only this page comes up
Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1 Safari 16.3
I don't have a MAC to test it on, but on my PC, it works OK.
Can you try again?
Alan
I'm running an Intel i7 NUC, Windows 10, Brave web browser, and randomly getting the same message as above.
Short and fast procedure:
Logout without closing the Tab > F12
Check you are in the Application Tab
After checking "third party" Click on "Clear Data"
->F12 again - Re-Logging
That should solve
( I have AMD and the same setup with Brave )
Okay, just figured out what the trigger is -it's when you click the time of last post quick link on the far right of the thread title that sets it off. For me anyway.
You're the man. Did that, fixed 👍👍👍
This is caused by a buggy "posts per page" feature. dprevived.com/t/posts-not-showing-when-over-25-posts-are-made-in-thread/3170/#post-32539
The last post link is converted to an URL that contains the page#. It calculates the total # of pages using the old value of 18 posts per page, while when using e.g. 30 posts per page there will actually be fewer pages. The link then points to a page # higher than what exists > page not found.
