Touch site issues

Faith

Hi there,

I've noticed two bugs with the touch site that are a bit annoying:

1. When a thread is merged into a sticky, it shows up as "Moved to Forum: [name]" and it doesn't act as a normal thread with new posts in it. It doesn't turn bold, and pressing the thread brings you to the first page, even if there's new posts. Like so:



2. On a similar note, when a thread that hasn't been posted in for more than 2 weeks is posted in, the touch site doesn't recognise that you've ever read it before and you're brought to the first page, and then you have to find your way to the new post.

Obviously these are small things, and in the grand scheme of things are only minor annoyances, but it'd still be great if it could be fixed .

I get this, *a lot*, but it's not necessarily when a thread hasn't been posted to in 2 weeks, it seems almost random. Threads that I'd been reading and go back to often takes me to the first post, rather than the first unread post, meaning I've to go the the last page and start working my way backwards, which is highly irritating and unintuitive.

If some of the mod functionality could be built into the touch site, rather than forcing me to go to the full site on my phone, which is painful to navigate effectively, carry out the necessary actions, then revert back to the touch site, this would save a hell of a lot of time and frustration!

I remember playing about with this a while ago trying to figure it out. The site stores read information of a thread for 10 days. If you haven't viewed that thread (regardless of when it was last posted on) then the site thinks you haven't read it. On the desktop site if this happens it takes you to the earliest post made in the past 10 days, on the touch site it takes you to the first post in the thread.

For some reason this is the way they want the touch site to work. Seems daft to me but it's what they want so it's not a bug as such.
