'new' button

[codewana]

Any chance of getting the old 'new' button back for both the regular forum and mobile version??

 

[Dan]

Can you give me more details as to what the "new" button did?

 

[Dan]

i think what you were after is now there?

 

[homebrandjesus]

This is the same button I was talking about in the "Old forum" thread. Cheers Dan!

 

[codewana]

dan, seems like the new button isn't working anymore for the mobile platform... Any ideas?

 

[Dan]

i'll check into it

 

[Dan]

there is no need for a "new" button on mobile version as the "last" link takes you there. The mobile site didn't change at all so there should be zero change to functionality

 

[codewana]

That's weird then Dan. Up until yesterday, clicking on the little arrow next to the thread title would take me straight to the next unread post that I was up to. Now its just taking me to the last new page.
Are you sure it never acted as a 'new' button?

---

Also, the 'last' button is now doing the same thing (taking me to the last page, not post).

 

[Dan]

yep the mobile site is a theme, and runs off of the standard back-end. The theme itself did not change at all. The "new" button on the normal theme takes me to the last post I read.

On the mobile forums nothing has changed at all

🙁 bummer. Was hoping that would go back to normal. No dramas though. Thanks for checking.

 

[Dan]

I'll have another look using my test system, but may not be until next week

Dan, I get exactly the same thing using IE (I know, I know) on a laptop. Started about 2 days ago. Cheers.

And yes Dan, FF is working like it always did.

 

[Dan]

Why then do you persist with or?

Thanks Dan.

BTW, I'm getting it on my Android and now on Safari (on my macbook).

 

[Dan]

so this is only for the mobile version?

There was never a "new" button on the mobile version as this was stripped of 99% of buttons.

On the normal version there is a "new button" and this is functioning correctly and as expected when I use it.

Can you give me the following details.

- What the "new" button on the mobile version previously did?
- What it is doing now
- Where was the button on the mobile version?

Hey Dan,

I thought it was only on the mobile version, but now I'm experiencing it on my macbook pro in Safari.


On the mobile site:
- The button used to take me straight to the next post (after the last one that I had read in that thread).
- Now it takes me to the page on which that post is. For example, if the last post I read was the second post on page 2, it will take me to page 2 if there is a new post on that thread.
- The "New" button is/was a little arrow to the left of each thread title

I've circled in blue the arrow.

 

[Dan]

ok i'll see what I can do

On your macbook, is it using the full theme or the mobile theme?

 

[codewana]

Full theme on the macbook (with the stary shaped new button).

Hey @[Daniel], the new button is now working again on my droid 🙂. Any ideas what caused the problem?

 

[Dan]

I haven't changed anything, so no idea.
