Not tried on my PC but guessing it's across all platforms Its something to do when you first log on, i've just come in office and its doing it again and its like when I first logged on at home earlier.. then it seems to fix itself. Odd one for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Looks to be sorted for me on my phone now. Clicking title of a thread takes me to first unread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneCity Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Not a fan of these social media type reward schemes. It cajoles the user into a state of mind where quality of contribution becomes less important (and less a motivating factor) than quantity and regularity. Like mice in a maze being prompted to press a button to receive a piece of cheese competition, with others and oneself, in order to improve one's standing, often becomes the dominant force. So I can't see how this will improve the forum and serve the member base in any constructive way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this forum wasn't so active I might agree, but the vast majority of active posters on here have already contributed way more than enough to meet all the 'badges', and will quickly get all the 'ranks' within a few weeks. For 90+% of people it will be as you were in a months time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of posts won't suffer that much, at the moment it's all "new and shiny" and people are having a bit of a laugh about being newbies after 10+ years of being active!! As @JamesBCFC says, within a few weeks it will all be normal. Pretty sure that anybody who posts multiple posts in a short time (e.g. getting their post count up) is warned/kicked off anyway (as well as being a sad pathetic troll).

Well I’ve moved from level 2 (Rookie) to level 7 (Collaborator) in about 12 hours. So I fully expect to be in charge by tomorrow. Then look out.

BS2 Red Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 I was still having trouble going directly to the first unread post on my phone. Logging out didn't help either. I just tried telling my browser (Safari) to "request desktop website" (press the "aA" that appears in the address bar) and that seems to have done the trick. Worth trying if anybody else is having issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebristolred Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Still no luck for me unfortunately, always taking me to the first post. Worse still, Account Settings won't load for me now, just takes me back to the homepage with the list of forums. So I can't tell if the option has gone back to what it was, or if it's activated but not working. Not the end of the world of course, just a heads up.

I wouldn't worry though, my ability to go to first unread post is no longer working so the request desktop website thing was probably just a coincidence.
