"Go to first new post" not working

[Scott Greczkowski]

How about now? They had me try a few things.

 

[n0qcu]

nope still not working.

 

[jayn_j]

still broke here from the search results page

 

[markd]

Still not working here either.

 

[jrp]

Continues to be fixed for me.

I am not having any issues either in Win7/IE8 or FF.

 

[jayn_j]

OK folks.

I believe this is more of a how you read satguys issue than a particular browser. Those who are saying "no problem". please try the following:
1. Go to the forums main page.
2. From the top menu bar select "New Posts (Entire Site)"
3. Choose a post and select the blue double down arrow icon on the left.
4. Report what you see.

This is resulting in the strange url that has been mentioned and a blank screen. I see this every time on a Mac and XP machine, using IE8, Safari and Chrome.

Since this is how I read the site, this is a big deal to me.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

it's a big deal for us as well. we want this fixed as bad as you do.

thank you for your feedback and for the steps necessary to recreate this problem. I'll pass them along to the programmer so that we get this problem fixed once and for all.

thank you for your patience and support!

Just an FYI. The way that jayn_j reads the forum is the same way I do. And I'm getting the same results as he does.

 

[mike123abc]

I tested it the way described and it does indeed just go to a blank page.

I agree with you and it is a big deal to me.:up

Whats weird about it; is if you just go the forums and pick one, then go down the list, and see the new post indicator for a thread, the first new post works, but not off the front page etc.

Since this a difficult problem, would it be possible to make a simpler change and put the "view first unread" back in the left margin and make it bigger? My new model is to go to the first post and then hit "view first unread" and I keep hitting the wrong button.

Except I find that all the single page threads don't have that option either.

Got an email that they are looking to fix this over the weekend. This is now their highest priority bug.

Keep your fingers crossed!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Can someone test this again and report back to me...

I think it's FIXED. (And I am the one who fixed it!)

 

[Ilya]

I am not getting the empty page anymore. So, I think it is fixed!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Anyone else?

 

[n0qcu]

Where did my post go? I posted that it was working.

 

[jayn_j]

Thank you, Scott. It is working correctly here.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Glad to hear its fixed.
