do not know how to head my problem so have just guessed.
When I am in a category and look at one of the threads within it when I go back to the main page I am being taken to the top of the category. I have to scroll down to where I looked at the last thread I viewed. If that Makes any sense. Is there a setting that I can change so that I go back to where I  was on the category page instead of being taken to the top of the page.

    Yesterday I thought that this problem ( on the app) had been fixed as the site worked correctly for me. Today there is another issue.....after reading a post if I click the back button the screen goes completely grey and blank. Pressing the button again takes me back the the forum home page which means that reading the forum takes 4 times as long as it should.

    When I am in a category and look at one of the threads within it when I go back to the main page I am being taken to the top of the category. I have to scroll down to where I looked at the last thread I viewed.
    I came here to see if anyone else was experiencing this, as I have for about a week so far and while it's a minor niggle in the grand scheme of things, it's *really* annoying now and uses a lot of extra mental energy that I don't have to spare, having to scan all the thread titles every time to find my place again and the next thread I want to read.

    Edit: now having replied to a thread that was on the second page, pressing 'back' takes me to the top of the first page of the forum.  I may have to try to remember to just open every thread in a new tab but it is annoying having to find a workaround for something that worked perfectly well before.

    I am still looking for a solution but with no success so far. Opening in a new tab is a good suggestion thanks I will do that for now

    (Just checking in to say it's still happening - sometimes we forget to mention when something has been fixed, but that's not the case here.)

    Yes I still have the same problem too. I am using your suggestion of opening things in a new tab but like you I sometimes forget but better than having to keep scrolling to the bottom of the page. Hope it gets fixed soon.
