Anybody get this besides me?

[Harv]

I browse in 24-hour mode and then click on messages of interest. Flat mode is my default.

The attached screen shot shows what I sometimes get. Everything but the messages. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

If I were a bettin' man, I'd say there was an off-by-one calculation problem in determining which posts should show up on the last page of the thread. I'll hold off on that bet, though, until I find out if it only happens to me. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

It's not just you, Harv.

When I see this, I usually click on the previous page (2 in your example) and scroll down to the bottom of the page to read the new post(s).

There are times after reading the first post and hitting the back button all I get is a blank. Have to go back to message hour box and start over. Never think much about it as the 10 challenges me.

Yep, Harv, I occasionally get that, too. Of course, I had no idea why, but I've learned to click on "previous" to get messages on the screen, then "next" to go from there.

Another oddity, to me. I usually go forum to forum, instead of a time period, scroll down to the first new message, click on the original post in that thread, which pulls up the "flat" display. Now most of the time, that takes me to the original post, then I scroll down to the new posts with the yellow heading, but sometimes when I open a thread in that manner, it takes me initially to the first "new" post in that thread. I wish it did that all the time.

Bird,

If you go to My Home, then Display Preferences, you can set your threads to open in Flat Mode. Then it should open at the new posts' location in the thread. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Harv, about every 10 th time I get this and for the last 3 years ! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

See this post a year ago

Bill, I've had it set to Flat Mode all along.

 

[BillG_in_TX]

Bird,

Well, your problem is foreign to me, because mine always opens at the initial new post. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I have my Default View set to "Collapsed", not "Expanded". How about you?

 

[Junkman]

I get that all the time, but just have learned to ignore it like some of the other "anomalies" that have possessed the site. I believe that there is a poltergeist living in the computer!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Bird]

Bill, I've had mine set for "expanded", so I just now changed it to "collapsed" to try that for awhile. What I don't understand is why sometimes I was going to the new post, but most of the time to the original. I haven't kept track well enough, but think it may be different in different forums.

And yep, I believe it works better in the "collapsed" mode. Thanks, Bill.

It happens to me to. I browse the site at work during lulls and notice it happening more often lately. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Before they updated the servers awhile back, I use to get it quite often. When they updated the servers, it seemed to go away.

Is this manifested by your monitor spinning itself in 360 degree circles whilst spewing fowl pixels at you?

Harv, I've never had this problem, but you gave me another problem /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I clicked on the link to your picture, and then turned to do something else while the image loaded (slow dial-up), and when I switched back to TBN, none of my links were working!!! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I was trying to click on your image, and (obviously) nothing worked. Took me about 10 seconds to realize I was being an idiot /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

It is a pretty life-like image, isn't it, Dave. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I probably would've re-booted my computer before I figured it out. Glad you did better. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
