Forum: iPhone doesn't keep track of read posts

Miscellaneous

Hi, I’m seeing some weird discourse forum behaviour.

Most often I read on iPhone and the discourse forum software keeps track of what I’ve read, i.e. the next time I click on a thread it takes me to the first unread post. When I switch to reading on mac the first unread post is synced.

But in the last days my iPhone doesn’t keep track anymore, it opens e.g. post 2/22 instead of 18/22. This doesn’t happen on the mac. Already logged in & out and restarted iPhone, but it still happens.

Anyone else seeing this?

Edit: And it seems on the mac there’s no first unread post remembered at all anymore, it just opens a thread’s last post instead of the last unread one.

I have had periods on the forum where I was getting logged out on my iPad only. Hasn’t happened for a while but it was similar to what you described.

No one else seeing this? Over here it only occurs with the DEVONtech forum, other sites running the discourse software are doing fine.

It actually works ok for me.

Works here.

I don’t know how Discourse “remembers” your status, but probably has something to do with caching and cookies on your machine. Perhaps reset or something?
