Experiment please. Android users

When you are on a page, scroll so the 'Forum' button is over one and try and press it. Does it take you back to the index?

If not, scroll up to the body of the thread and try then. Does it give you the index?

[bigandclever]

Yes, if I understand the instructions
Android 8.1.0
Nexus 5X

Mind you, then I hit the back button and got “There is an error determining which application you are signing into. Return to the application and try again.”

Forum as on the bottom left?



Or forum tab from the menu, top right?

Either takes me back to the forum front page ( general gassing at the top ).

I don't have a forum button on my Pixel C. Take it you mean phones and not tablets?

I have a Pixel 2 XL and in the last few weeks have noticed that the 4 buttons across the bottom don't always work (Forum, My Stuff, What's New, Preferences).

Sometimes they seem to be transparent to clicks and hence I get the advert underneath, sometimes they just don't work at all until I scroll up and down a bit first.

Same here on a Huawei P9 Android 7,EMUI 5.0.2

Same here, Moto 3G, Android 6.0.1

If I've not scrolled past the last post on the page it's OK, if there is anything showing of those click bait ads at the bottom then they don't work, most of the time.

Yes. Often I have to press back and try another page.

Android S7, swapped to Brave from Chrome about when it happened.

They only seem to work if you scroll up onto the forum section rather than when the sponsored ads are underneath.

I posted about this last week.

It'll never be fixed - they don't care.
