Viewing first unread

[BBeerme]

For the past two or maybe three days, when I click on the notification link in my email, it goes to the first unread post, then a split second later, it jumps to the post at the top of that page. I can click on the 'view first unread' and it goes back to the proper post.

Just extra key strokes, but may be indicative of some other problem developing.

Sorry but I can't duplicate this. I go to first unread every time.

Maybe another browser glitch. Does it every single time for me.

For what it is worth, I did log out then back in, didn't make any difference.

I see this most of the time, it just goes to the top of the page. I figured it was my "puter" being glitchy as it has been driving me nuts for weeks now, slow, not opening/closing programs/pages, not talking with the rest of the network, the list goes on but you get the picture.

As far as I know... This would only happen if your site cookie is either blocked or old.

The site cookie remembers what post you read last and takes you to the next newest post. If your cookie is missing or old it would take you to the top of the page.

So now we're blaming computer problems on stale cookies???

Don't know if it matters but I had been using Google Chrome and this AM I have been using Firefox, both doing it.

I'll ask Robb to see if he may know what's happening but the good news is it is not happening to us all.

I'll take a look, I would generally assume this to be a cookie issue. Have you tried deleting your HVAC-Talk cookies, then logging back in to see if the behaviour continues? If not, could you please?

[BNME8EZ]

Robb, I tried that, it did not make a difference. I have now noticed it on 2 different browsers on computer plus my iPhone, if that makes any difference.

I cleared out all HVAC-Talk Forum cookies.

I still have the 'always goes to the top of the page' issue.

Are there cookies from this website which start with any letter other than H ?

Usually just logging out then back in will reset your cookie.

I think Robb is taking a look at this a bit deeper. Give him some time.

I thought I had one such problem O_o I hope soon there will be clarifications. Not quite clear, problems and side of your resource or our browser?

[BBeerme]

Looks like you found the hitch in the giddy up. Thanks Robb!

[Poodle Head Mikey]

Yes; I did do this.

Anything which said HVAC in the cookies list on this computer was deleted. This resulted in the site not recognizing me when I logged back in. So I typed in my name and password.

Nonetheless; I still have the same 'always goes to the top of the page' problem.

Are there site cookies by any other name which may be causing me this problem?

OK; I did nothing since the last time I posted to this thread - but now suddenly the emailed links take me directly to the last unread post - rather than to the top of the page it's on.

What did you do to fix it ?

I adjusted your view settings in the Admin panel a little while ago. Then reset your account.
