far as i know slidey that's a feature request that has yet to be implemented on the touch site, it does pop up though if you're browsing the full site on mobile.

i think the site devs said it would be included in the next iteration of boards touch though.

@sully, the samsung galaxy S plus isnt officially getting ice cream sandwich, and there's no official cyanogenmod 9 rom available for it, im just waiting til the unofficial port is perfected before i install it so im stuck with the stock gingerbread samsung rom for now...

I think it's safe to remove [beta] from the topic at this stage.

Ah brilliant. While I have you - don't suppose you know is there anyway I can change the amount of posts that show per page?!
Sorry for bringing this up again but is this "arrow" contained in the email alert you receive to let you know theres new replies to a thread? I can't seem to locate it in the emails and end up at the start of the thread each time.

That said I do recall getting to the last post the odd time but I don't do anything different so the link must be different.

The little blue arrow isn't in the emails, it's on the forums after the thread titles. It's just like the one above ofter your name in this quote.

I can't find it after the thread title or I can't see one on the quote in your reply either. I'm using an DHD running Android 3.5 viewing Touch boards. Am I still been a complete knob or is it something specific to my device / Android?

Hi Danny,

I'm just looking to get taken to the most recent (unread) post in a topic when I receive an email alert to let me know there's been some activity on a post I'm following.

When I click on the link in the email on my DHD I just get taken to the very start of the topic even though it may be a few years and pages old. Then I have to scroll to the end of the 1st page (as there's no page numbers at the top) and click on the last page and scroll down.

The posters above seem to have a workaround (the blue arrow referred to) but I can seem to find this shortcut.

Danny, any talk of replacing images with CSS to increase load speed. And perhaps making the forums list expand/collapse so it's easier to scroll to a letter?

Is there an easier way to post YouTube vids beside just cutting and pasting in the tags?

One X seems to want to highlight and paste over some of the tag when I long press. AH is being deprived of my panda wrestling vids.

An YouTube or pic link could easily be added to the reply box screen. It's really annoying having to type out the code on a mobile.

The Boards.ie touch site is still very much in beta; plenty of room for improvement I believe it'll be up for a feature review some time in the future, so be sure to keep those ideas coming.

Hey there,

The email sends you a link to the full Boards.ie site. Then when we detect you're on a mobile device we send you off to the touch site. I'm guessing some stuff gets lost in translation and you land in at the start of the thread.

I'll see if I can confirm this and get it resolved for you. As far as I'm aware, there is no link in a thread on touch to bring you to the last unread post

Danny

be really nice too if the devs were able to work out a way to make the youtube code more efficient to reduce page loading times. i know neil has looked at it but it's fairly annoying the page loading times first off, and then you cant even play the video!

actually an [IMG] button would be a blessing!
