(PENDING)Last Visit

[juggsy]

Any chance of getting this sorted, threads I've never visited before keep jumping to a random/last post with the red last visited banner, driving me nuts trying to navigate the forums!

Apologies for the delay all. Unfortunately, other work has taken priority so a fix wasn't found when it was previously looked at. I'll keep pushing for it as it is extremely annoying.

Well another month later (almost) and it's still not sorted. I appreciate that this won't be the only work your developers have on but it makes the forums nigh on unbrowseable, especially on a mobile.

When I attended the 2016 "PH Board" meeting a major priority from the staff seemed to be get people posting more on the forums, not sure leaving a major UX flaw like this for months on end is entirely in line with that goal!

Its like a raffle. You never know if you'll end up at the last post or start of the thread. Irrespective of whether you've posted on it or never looked at it before.
My Bookmarks now doesn't work on the mobile ether.

Here's an example.
Screen grab shows whats new. Topics are all the same colour even though I've posted on the sixth one down?

Something's changed, but it ain't right - or are we testing on the live system?

[curlie467]

Nice and inconsistent still, are the techs still alive?

4 months. I demand a refund.

Well it's the school holidays again, so I expect to see some more action on this soon. Hopefully for the better.

What seems to be happening now (Safari iPhone 7) is I go to a thread I've never visited and it jumps to near the end with the red last visited banner, yet threads I have visited take me to the first page and I have to find where I last was.

Wonder this will ever get fixed as it's driving me nuts!

Yup same here.

Not really sure why I'm bothering again but it's almost working in reverse.
When I go to a thread in my stuff I have to scroll to the bottom of the page to read the latest comments but when I have a look at what's new it takes me to the last post!
Any one else getting the same?

[j80jpw]

Yup, still having the same issue.

I started this thread in April so i think we may be pissjng in the wind.

The (lack of) dev team don't appear to have done anything in the last six months - maybe he/she have gone back to school/shelf stacking.

[j80jpw]

Anything????

Pretty rediculous now and quite sad how automatic it is to go to the top and type 1 in to the page number box.

Get it sorted PH for F’s sake

[MartG]

7 months now and no progress whatsoever

[Degucrazy]

Still a very annoying issue..

[dhutch]

Not sure why the forum is getting so little.

Either they are planning a major update or migration to alternative software. Or they just don't care and assume people will stay anyway.

It's the 'Grand Tour' of motoring forums.

Could be awesome but is somehow st - yet we still stay in the hope that one day, perhaps, it will be better.

I've been browsing logged out for the last couple of months because of how irritating this is..logged in yesterday to post and surprise surprise it's still broken.

This is utterly absurd, the forums may not generate much direct revenue for PH but they still represent a good portion of PH's public facing presence and they claim to care about that and want to encourage new and existing users to post and use them more yet they leave such a user hostile bug for 7 months and counting. It may be tricky to solve out right (although at this point that's an excuse which is wearing thin) but it would be trivial to just disable the Last Visit functionality entirely until it can be reworked which would be infinitely more useable.
