Hey!

Just to help clarify, how are you viewing the forum? By computer? By mobile or on the tapatalk or proboards apps? Thanks!

Sorry for not responding sooner.  I'm viewing this on computer.

Sorry, I don't think I can help you out. I view the forum on an iPad 99% of the time. Anyone else able to give some advice?

When you press the next page buttons, it only scrolls back to the top of the page when I'm not logged in. Is that supposed to happen?

On a computer, are you saying when you ARE logged in, it does not scroll to the top of the page when using next page? I just tried it and it works for me.

I am browsing on IE 11.0 on a desktop computer. I have not tried it out when not logged in.

I have been dealing with this for a while now. It's incredibly annoying. Happens on both Chrome and Firefox.

Found something: support.proboards.com/thread/546752/when-user-clicks-stays-bottom

If anyone else is having this problem, try to check and disable any recent plugins. I'll be doing the same even though I'm pretty sure I haven't downloaded any. I'll report back my results.


Didn't work. I guess I'll live with it.

I have been living with it for quite a while too. FF on OSX.
I mostly use the iPad where it is a non issue so I haven't bothered to raise it.

I almost never need to read this thread, but I'm glad I did today just a bit after the new avatars came out. I really like the garland avatar so I switched over.  Thank you!!

Not sure...

Some PM notifications I received right away via email, but few just never went through. No biggie, just thought it was strange.

I have bookmarked one of my posts since I will be modified it in the future.

But now how do I go about, quickly, finding the say bookmark? Thanks.

Have you tried Bookmarks in the top menu?

I've never used bookmark but that is where I'd expect to find it. (Home, New Posts, Search, Profile, etc)

Yes.  It applies to the whole thread.

I want to bookmark a specific post.  If I quote someone there is an option "bookmark",  but when I go back to the main menu how do I find that bookmark again.

Perhaps you could create a link to it in your sig. Use the "link to post" option in the gear wheel sub menu to get the link.

The bookmark is for the whole thread. As a mod I have the options "Sticky". "Make Announcement", etc. These are options that apply to the whole thread.

I am intrigued ... why do you want to bookmark a post? Why would you want to revisit it in the future? The idea of bookmarking a thread is so that when someone posts in it, you get notified. A function that is not that useful in the minimalistic set-up we run here. We pretty much read all the threads anyway.

Click on the Gear drop down box at the top right of the desired post and select "Link to Post"

Then save that direct link somewhere safe.

If this is a post you want to share with others regularly, consider putting the link in your profile or signature.

[Buffy]

Thanks, guys.

I tried to search for the post using keyword(s) + etc + etc..., didn't work. Though I have used forum search function before and it worked, can't say it works 100% all the time. Maybe it has to do w/ how I set my search parameters.

Then I self-quoted, cut/paste, self-PMed, and now that direct link is safe in my inbox.

My park is nestled somewhere in the Dragonvale Park Tours thread. From time to time I have modified it to reflect my real life park. As this thread grows it's harder for me to find my post so I thought bookmark will help me reference it quicker.

Sorry...nothing intriguing really, but mostly self-interest.

You go back to edit your original post? Why not post again? I'd like to see the changes.

No major renovation, really, mostly replacing/removing a path, trees, rocks here and there. I will post the entire park when the time is right.
