Looks a whole lot better. Is there a button we can press to take us to the last viewed reply like we had before? I haven't read through all the replies so apologies if this has been stated.

Excellent question Jessica. I was just going through all of these posts to see if someone else mentioned it.

After being a member of TF's for 10yrs + it's a shock to your system after seeing a brand new format..But..After a few mins of navigating through things I too love the new format.

Actually, I'm not sure what you mean "in the bookmark web app" ? Can you clarify what phone and app you are using?

It sounds to me like it's doing exactly what we want it to do (add icon to your homescreen and open in Safari.) But, sounds from you like it's not doing what you want it to do?

I'm not good at explaining these things so, I made a gif:

I bookmarked TF and when I open it, it opens as a full screen web app. When I click any link, instead of staying in that "web app", it switches me to the full Safari app. Maybe this is how it is suppose to work, I've never really bookmarked a site to the home screen before.

I understand now. Let me see if I can find a solution.

This is going to take a little bit to adjust but I am here for the long haul. RTR!

@CrimsonNagus it seems that this is the way that "adding to home screen" works on iPhones. However, I have a "fix" that I'll try to implement tomorrow.

First you should know that every post was unread when the new site was launched. So, nothing is "read" until you mark it read by either reading the posts or clicking the "mark read" link at the top of the forum page.

Afterward, just launch a thread by clicking on the thread title link and you will be taken to the first unread post in that thread.

@Jessica4Bama @Con @DogPatch and any others that are having problems with not going to first unread post.

I had the same question, but now when I click on a thread it automatically takes me to the first new post.

Did you click anything to make it do it, or did it just start doing it?

@Jessica4Bama @DogPatch @BamaNation O.K. I think I am getting it to work now. I just clicked on the thread title and it automatically takes me to the last post for the thread. I will see if it directs me to the last post I read in a few minutes.

I had to move the font size up to large in the preferences. I like to think myself as a young guy but I guess my eyes ain't got it no more!

 

[bama_fan01]

Looks great! Thanks for all your hard work in making this the BEST Bama forum on the internet!

 

[ROTYDE]

Brett , Bayou would have loved it. I miss that old boy a lot.

It just started doing it.

 

[Perrett4Bama]

Wow! I like the new appearance. Much cleaner, neater, not as busy, better organized.

Agreed, very nice👍

@BamaNation I think that's just how the APP works with Xenforo. I get the same thing on my Warchant App on Android. The App always opens my browser to view.

I'm old, so I hate change. What about a list to select avatar?

A bookmarklet on the homescreen is basically the same as a bookmark in Safari, and usually behaves the same way. It just opens differently. I have had them locked in to a site, where there are no Safari option icons at the bottom. But TideFans doesn't appear to be that way. It would be nice if it were.

I'm working on a solution right now. No promises, but I'm working on it

Just can’t get used to this on a phone. I use Tapatalk for all my forums and the experience just isn’t the same. The navigation on the mobile site is nowhere near as seamless as with an app. There’s no way to jump directly to the end of the thread, only to the end of the specific page you’re on.
