Do you remember that time when EVERYTHING changed...?

The browser takes you to 'The right page, but the top and not the first unread post?'

Aha! Perfect... this sounds more like a duplicate of https://www.lfgss.com/comments/11753610/

As in... Safari isn't honouring #anchor links in the URL whenever the URL also has a ?querystring.

EVERYTHING ON MY END IS FIXED!!! WHOOP!!! Thanks @Velocio Good to finally have the forum back in my life!

and IOS 7

Here's the URL produced when I visited this thread right now (Following page said 'New' (posts))
http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/252824/?offset=775

Yeah, it does actually add the anchor:

https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/252824/newest/

In my case that redirects to:

https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/252824/?offset=775#comment11754269

But Safari is stripping the anchor #comment11754269 bit. That's the bit that will jump to the comment.

Ah, found it.

It's a WebKit bug that Chrome independently fixed in their version but Apple have not: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24175

If a redirect occurs, then Safari discards the anchor.

I have an idea for a fix, to copy the anchor into the querystring and then to have JavaScript check for it... and if it exists jump to that part of the page. But it might be messy and involve a reload or will insert things into the browser history. I'll check before I do it.

Cannot express my joy when the log in for a month message came up on my phone just now. Was a right pain in the harris having to log in everytime I accessed the forum on my phone.

Unnecessary comment. Reading fail.

I clicked through on that bug tracker link and my first thought was, "fucking small text, why don't other web pages look like microcosm?"

not a fan of re-signing in every time i come back to my computer - is that a cookie thing or just me? there is no 'tick box to remember me' or 'keep me signed in' option?

That should not happen any more, unless you are browsing in a private/incognito mode.

Seems a reasonable fix. Given that you ideally want to expose an API then it makes sense to replace the anchor-based scrolling with a query string based one. It also makes it easier to implement posts-per-page options in the query string. You could even replace the single post permlinks with ones that kept the requested post in its thread context.

We already expose an API. The frontend is fully separated from the back end and anything you can do via the frontend is driven from the API: https://lfgss.microcosm.app/api/v1

REST APIs are fine returning URLs with anchors in them, urls in RESTful documents are supposed to be navigable by clients (including web browsers, not just API consumers), and so using an #anchor is fine.

The addition of a "Safari has bugs so we'll build in workarounds everywhere" anchor param in the GET query would be in addition to the real anchor, so that browsers that don't have this webkit bug won't require a JavaScript cludge to work properly. In fact, if the #anchor is present, I'll make sure that the JavaScript didn't run.

Apologies if this has been mentioned.. since today every conversation page is refreshing every 1 second over and over which takes me to the top of the page. Have to hit escape to cancel scripts on each page in order to read it. Link to bug tracker?

On each refresh I see requests for lfgss.com and login.persona.org (I am logged in).
Chrome on OSX. Doesn't happen in incognito (not logged in).

Keeps refreshing for me too in Chrome on OSX. No issues on Firefox on OSX.

Sign out.
Sign in again.
Thank me.

Quick question, sorry if it's been already answer. I use twitter a lot but I haven't seen anything from lfgss twitter account telling me of a new thread, which I did like. It's this something that it's coming back? Or do I have to activate somewhere?

Btw it's awesome what you've done @Velocio loving the new feel of he site.
Thanks

Twitter integration is currently lacking. I'll put it on the bugtracker now so we can get it working again soon.

Thanking you!

And yeah, I am blown away @Velocio. Bet you have big plans on the roadmap too.

Has something changed? Everything was working perfectly yesterday on Chrome (36, OSX 10.9) but suddenly I now get page automatically refreshing every 10 seconds. It's not a nice helpful "load new posts|" type of refresh, more of a full page reload that automatically whizzes me back up to the top of the page. The only way to stop it is to wait for one of the refreshes, and then hit the "stop" button mid refresh. I think I read about other people having this problem immediately after the switch but the stupid refresh thing means it's almost completely impossible to navigate to any possible solutions.

I've not had the problem with clicking on threads and not being taken to the latest post, until today when I clicked on one of my subscribed threads and got taken to the very first post. Android/chrome.

As above, logout/login fixed the refresh problem for me.

YESS! Thanks Yemble. At first attempt, every time I clicked sign out, it auto-refreshed and automatically logged me back in. Catching the reload with the stop button allowed me to log out properly and seems fixed now. Phew.

Thank me.
Thanks mashton
