For about three days now clicking the icon on a thread to go to the newest post doesn't work for me anymore.
I usually end up on the second to last page.

Please try now and let us know

Still doesn't work. Is there any way I can help you debug?

Can't replicate. Are you sure there are no unread posts on the second to last page? Icon next to post time is slightly colored in that case.

I'm sure, I did it on the same thread several times and even on threads where I have read several posts on the last page I'm sometimes taken to the one before that.

Just tried again with the GH vs DT thread. I'm taken to ripster's second post on page 17. Did I miss a new "mark as read button" or something?

..clear your cache? (sorry can't think of anything else)

Good idea, let me try.

Seems to help...

Sometimes, when there are a lot of pics, it gets a little wonky, but otherwise, it seems to work fine.

That's because there is no width/height set on images at page load.

Yeah, that is quite annoying- especially when you just want to see the last post on a page with loads of pictures; you can press 'End' all you like, but untill the page is actually done loading phat chance you'll be able to read anything there.

Clearing the cache helps but this is still annoying. Is it a local problem or should I report it upstream?

Isn't there some phpBB caching setting to change?

Still think it's weird that clearing your cache actually worked; I haven't experienced this myself (and don't clear cookies/history etc much if at all; temp files do get deleted semi regularly though), although I don't click the icon just the 'jump to post' text, which in the Spy is the topic title, so still the same as the icon (#unread). Just noticed the icons in spy jump to #unread, but the topic titles jump directly to the visualised post.
And it can't be related to this picture issue seeing how you end up on a different page.. presuming you can see that you are not on the last page without reloading first.
Could you post the exact link data that fails? (as in 'copy link url' before you click, then IF it shows the fail, paste it here and tell us where you failed to).

also, an image placeholder fix would be awesome

Okay so marketplace, for sale misc doubleshots blabla
this is the link from the icon

this is were I end up
http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/ ... tml#p43149
I have no idea why this is happening.

What's that about images?

aha, I end up here http://deskthority.net/post43420.html#p43420 so it must be woody!

In all seriousness, you are sure you were logged in the times that you read that thread beyond the post you linked? Because those are two different 'unread' statusses, and it's the only explanation I can think of.

Images, see higer up in this thread: when you load a page to a specific post number, then while it is loading it will often first jump to that post, then insert all the posted images, thus shooting you way up on the page, back to where you've already read.

I've been encountering this repeatedly as well, even in threads which I opened just mere minutes before.

You are referring to what Icarium described I take it?
then please answer this for your case:
"you are sure you were logged in the times that you read that thread beyond the post you linked?

I can answer that just as well: Yes.

I am apparently logged in from several machines at the same time, though. Maybe that could cause the issue.

Maybe that messes up my session serverside...

hmm.. I'm out of possible causes, esp since I have absolutely no clue as to how phpbb works, so I'm off.
Hope someone will help you guys out here; and good to check if jbert uses multiple sessions simultaneously as well. GL!

Do you use Firefox?

Yes.

There is some url rewriting going on since about the same time you reported problems. I noticed Firefox caching 301 responses after a post was moved to another topic but I was still taken to the old topic.

Maybe related, not sure...

I use Firefox and never had the slightest problem.

well I use firefox and never had any of this either; but there's lots of variables left.
plugins, version, settings, etc.
I'm still running 3 fwiw.

Safari works fine.

In fact much better than teeny tiny GH icons.

Let's see...

• Firefox 10.0.1
• I have multiple sessions, but I get the problem multiple times on the same PC where "Remember me" is checked (hence I remain logged in).
• Extensions: vimperator, noscript, adblock, requestpolicy

I'm on 11.0 on this machine...can tell you about the others tomorrow.

How could we debug this? Who is hosting this site? Do we have shell access? Can we look at the apache log files? If it actually is an apache.

Could you guys check to what it is linked, like your account or computer?
I'm using abp, ns, rp (and a crapton more) as well, though with v3; working fine.
*edit: Also, check if the post you land on is the post that is in the url-bar.

I'm having this issue on all 3 of my machines. I could try a different browser I suppose.

What I experience really is just the page loading 'wrongly' (i.e. afaik it's loaded images that make me end up at a post somewhere higher up than intended; the adressbar shows where I should be, clicking there and hitting enter makes me go there).
Webwit, any new insights on what Icarium may be experiencing?
