Anyone else having some weird behavior with last unread? Nothing solid enough to really complain yet, but it seems like it has been bringing me to weird places recently more and more. Just curious if I'm going crazy or someone else is running into it.

Have you recently hit the "Mark all messages as read" option on the main page?

If so, that ALWAYS messes up my "last unread" button.

Nope. That would send me to the beginning. I get sent to weird places in the middle.

Not true! When I hit the "Mark all messages as read", and then someone posts something new, and I then hit the "last unread" button, it then takes me to what would have been the "last unread" post before I hit the "mark all messages as read" option, if that makes any sense, which will seem random. Probably.

Not sure if that's what you're experiencing, though.

Well, either way, I don't usually use Mark all as read.

Me neither. Anymore.

I hope lego can figure out your issue. I'll run away, now...

Are you logged into Dakka on multiple systems? I had that issue awhile ago, and I fixed it by logging out of the various places I was logged into Dakka from.

Ahh, now that sounds like a good theory. I do log in from my phone and, occasionally, additional computers.

Good catch, Alf.

I do have that problem when visiting Dakka on my phone via iOS. There will be times where I always seem to end up somewhere in the middle of the last page. It will only do it in some specific threads, and once it does it will continue everytime I visit that thread until it turns a new page.

Just got this glitch on Android. Sent me to page 3 of 148 and there was only one new post to read on page 148. This is the first time I think I've had this before.

I have never used the mark all read since I signed up and I only ever access Dakka from this device. The only slight abnormal practice is I cleared my cache quite a few times a couple of hours ago. It's not much of a problem but it might be worth looking into again?

Now that I'm not seriously sleep deprived I think this might actually have been due to me clicking the wrong link on my touchscreen. Sorry.
