    Unsure if this is correct forum, it seems like a bug. On mobile, and as per thread title, I can go from a thread back to a forum and itll show the last page first. It happened s randomly, as after a refresh or 2, it goes back to normal.

    Is this happening others, or noticed?

    Thanks for the reports. Dev team are aware of this and working to get to the bottom of it.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    I'm on touch.

    If I click a link in to say AH or BA or whatever, it's bringing me to the very first threads in those forums.

    3 days now.

    Only me?

    Hi FFVII,

    The dev team is aware of this issue and working on a fix. In the meantime, it should rectify itself if you refresh the page (though it may take more than one). Sorry for the disruption.

    Sorry for the disruption, but this may continue for a little while longer. A refresh seems to rectify the issue in the short term.

    Any feedback on this yet Mark? Appears to be getting worse if anything. Phone appears worse than laptop.

    I understand this is frustrating and we're sorry for the disruption, but currently it's a choice between this and the best chance of keeping the site going with the influx of traffic that comes with any official announcement (or rumour in some cases).

    Have noticed a problem lately. When I click on some of my bookmarks it will often display a page from over 10 years ago.
    For example when I click on the motors forum it will go to the first page from 14 years ago, yet if I refresh the page it will go to the current page.
    Am using edge browser on Android but it also happens with chrome

    Yep, have the same problem for days on chrome on android. Also often I'll click next page and it'll be from 10 plus years ago*, then click again, the correct page will be displayed. Think boards has a problem with the space time continuum.


    *reassuring to know the Rugby League forum was NEVER busy (not just when I modded it :pac:)

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I'm having the same issue on mobile (Using OnePlus 6T with Samsung Internet Browser). It would appear that a quick refresh of the page will load the correct page but it is still annoying none the less.

    Just use the refresh button on your browser, it will look something like an arrow travelling in a circle.

    To add to the above, on some browsers it may be hidden in the menu that's opened by tapping on the three dots in the top right.

    You could also try dragging your finger downwards on the screen (as if you were trying to scroll back up the forum page, but when you're already at the top). This works to refresh the page on my Samsung.

    Thanks for the reply - strangely enough on my Sony phone which is where I do most of my browsing boards, I cant refresh by dragging the screen down once in the followed forum and also when I click the 3 dots while in the forum the only option I have is - "Follow this Thread". I am now using my desktop and don't have that issue ;-)

    Thanks all, a refresh of the page should fix it for the moment.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
