Why doesn't spell check work on Chrome? Sorry if this was addressed.

Agreed w Spell check. Last post seemed to just start to mess up too.

Sorry to bring up old shit, but the last button is not working for me. 

Last post has not worked (for me) for a while (Safari).  However... it DOES work when I hold option (to open in new tab).  Just not on a stand alone click.

How is the last post feature not working? And to reiterate, it doesn't take you to the last post in the thread, it takes you to the last post you haven't viewed. I am aware of a bug that could affect it, though it would only potentially happen on threads where someone edited an old post. Another thing to keep in mind, if you click just a pixel off of the button it's going to take you to the first post of the thread.

For future reference, to lessen back and forth posting, if you're reporting a bug please give me as much detail as possible. If you just say someone isn't working the first thing I'm going to ask is for specifics on how it isn't working. For example, the last post button isn't working for you, let me know exactly what happens when you click the button. Also, is it happening every single time you click the button, or only some of the time. I'm not trying to be a dick about this at all, just trying to speed up the process of letting me know what isn't working as you would expect.

When I used to click on last, it would take me to the last unread post. Which is what it always did and what I expect it to do. 

Now, started yesterday maybe, it takes me to the top of the last page of the thread. 

I haven’t changed anything as far as how I tap the last button.

Interesting. It took me to the top of the last page on this thread, but the golf thread, for example, it scrolled me to the last post on the page.

Last movie thread worked as expected.

What browser and OS are you using?

Safari on iPhone. And I’ve cleared my data/history twice since it started. Which, of course, I have to log in after coming back to the site.

It does it on subscribed and non-subscribed threads.

Also, I have the “all threads” page as an icon on my home screen. And before yesterday whenever I would open it, my browser would open the page in the same tab as I previously had it open in; unless the previous tab was NOT on the all threads page. Now, it always opens a new tab when I tap the home screen icon. 

That night just be a phone thing though. Even though I haven’t changed any settings or anything.

Safari on iPhone is going to be hard for me to debug, but I can at least test safari on a Mac. I don't understand why that wouldn't work though, it's such a simple piece of functionality that all browsers should operate the same way. Can you copy-paste the url of a thread that doesn't work for you? Just curious what the hash is at the end (it would be #XXXX, which is the id of the post it is supposed to scroll to).

Stop doing this, it isn't going to fix this issue for you.

That is where it takes me when I tap the title  

https://ohiochatter.com/forum/serious-business/the-golf-thread?page=3

That is where it takes me when I tap last. 

Interesting, the browser is stripping off the hash, which is the sole driver of that functionality. The link should be something like this: https://ohiochatter.com/forum/serious-business/the-golf-thread?page=3#reply-26972

Can you check to see the last time safari updated? If this just started happening, I'm guessing apple pushed an update recently that fucked it all up.

I’m not really sure that is an option on iPhone. But I’m running 11.4, I haven’t updated to 11.4.1 yet.

It is doing the same thing on my iPad, which is running 11.4 also. So I’m not too surprised.

Apps can update independent of the OS, can they not? I can look at individual apps on the google play store and see the last time they were updated, I would imagine it's the same on iphone.

All that said, I might have found a fix specifically for safari because it's stupid and can't work like all other browsers. Give me a minute.

Safari isn’t an independent app technically. It’s part of iOS. It only updates when iOS updates.

Nope, that fix ain't working.
