Hello, for a week or so, if I click on the blue icon "Go to first new post", I have no longer been redirected to the actual new post but to the beginning of the thread.

 

This is quite annoying, for example there's an ongoing thread called "Universal Job Match", it's few pages long.

 

Can the webmaster give a look at this issue? Maybe a botched upgrade? It takes me ages now to check this forum. Thanks

I just want to say that the problem still exists. Is it just me? Anybody else got the same issue?

 

I'm seriously thinking of quitting CAG. It takes me three hours to check this site now.

Hello there. I've let the site team know that you still have problems.

 

I don't really understand what you're saying about it taking 3 hours, could you expand please? How do you go about using the forum?

Some threads are very long. If I have to view all threads from the start it literally takes a few hours for me to read the forum. It used to work well. There must be a problem at your end.

Hello and thank you for that.

 

I'm not really the one you want advising you on technical matters and I have referred this to our Webmaster again. :)

 

Are you able to navigate to the end of a thread? I use function + the right arrow, but it used to be something else on my last PC, ctrl + end I think? Then you can scroll up to the most recent post.

I dont think you can specifically say this as we have not had any other complaints about this !

So you mean the problem is at my end? And it did work up until a few weeks ago, why doesn't it work now? Nothing has changed at my end and I have checked it from different locations.

Can you make the webmaster aware of this please. The software you're running is called VBulletin. It is possible you have a customised version.

 

I have looked on Google for this string "vbulletin go first new post doesn't work":

https://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&safe=off&tbo=d&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=vbulletin+go+first+new+post+doesn%27t+work&oq=vbulletin+go+first+new+post+doesn%27t+work&fp=1b30056506c59978

 

And I got a lot of results. Clicking on some of them it looks like the problem is not browser related. Technically speaking the problem is "it loses the #anchor."

I am not saying that at all - what I said was - you simply cant say that it is definitely CAG's fault. There have been no other complaints about this issue and I am sure other members would be very quick to point out if there were.

Would you be kind to forward this to the webmaster? I've checked with other forums that have similar software (Vbullettin). There's a missing bit in the url of the "Go to first new post".

 

For example:

src="[url="http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/view-source:http://images.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/images/buttons/firstnew.png"]http://images.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/images/buttons/firstnew.png[/url]" 
class="gotonewpost" title="Go to first new post"/>/a>

See the bit:

showthread.php?379928-tax-credit-compliance-check&p=4125233 

It should be instead:

showthread.php?379928-tax-credit-compliance-check&p=4125233#post4125233

That missing bit after the hash # causes the problem.

 

Sorry for being anally pedantic but I hope it helps.

Just a little follow up to this thread. The issue is still there when using a PC running either Windows or Linux (tested on all major browser.

 

However when I access the site from my Android mobile, the site behaves correctly, that is "Go to first new post" behaves as it should.

 

Anybody with the same issue? I can't believe it's only me.
