    Cool - good suggestion. Let me look into that. Also when you hit a thread where there are post you have not read you can choose the option "Go to first Unread".. see image. Let me check on the top forum level...

    Is it possible to make the blue go to first unread dot/button bigger or give it more space on the thread listing page? It was a lot easier to hit before and eliminates the second tap after entering the thread.

    I will have to look at this... not 100% sure what you are talking about. Any chance you can send a screen shot?

    Ah.. nevermind.. I see. So when you go to Forum>New Post.. the little blue dot there (which would be impossible on a mobile device). Since its so small, you have to click on the thread then the "Go to First Unread" I'll add it to the list and see what options we have.

    Yea initially it was set to only show "5" I think I upped it to 50. You can also go there by clicking (or hovering your mouse if on Desktop/Laptop) on "Forums" once and a drop down will show up. There you can choose from the following options:

    When on the Showcase page https://www.motoringalliance.com/showcase/ the Showcase drop-down menu changes as one moves the mouse down the listing. When scrolling down to Watched Content a new item, Watched Items, pops in and one cannot get to New Content on the list.

    Before logging onto the site, I clicked on a pic to get a better view. It asked me to log in, which I did. Then after getting the info I wanted, I tried to post a reply. I had to log in again! Isn't there some way to remember initial log-ins? I'm not an efficient typist.

    @oldbrokenwind there is a check box that keeps you logged in. It’s next to the login button. It says stay logged in, it’s easy to miss

    You both are correct. Here is the interesting situation (which would have happened on the old site). We are using HTTPS (more secure). BUT... there is always that. If you clicked on an older pic etc.. it could be HTTP if its mapped in the old manner. Then its a different place (less-secure). Can you send me the link to the pic you clicked on. Also note I greatly over simplified the Secure/Non Secure thing. Your situation I believe has more to do with URL re-direction. :Alien:

    Here's the pic link --- https://www.motoringalliance.com/threads/oldbrokenwinds-phoenix.28728/ not really old, just a few months.

    When I logged in this AM, I checked the "Stay ---" box and it seems to be working. My original interpretation of this box was to keep me logged in when browser failed, or when I switched sites. I didn't expect it to be required to browse the MA site --- not friendly. But, what do I know about site construction --- nadda! Is there a time limit for staying logged in --- inactivity, or connection lost? Or will I stay connected "forever"?

    @oldbrokenwind I don’t think there is. It usually keeps me logged in.

    @oldbrokenwind - Correct, technically you shouldn't as long as you are "active" on the site. I need to figure out the inactivity time etc. So far every pic on that page had kept me in https.. so I'm not 100% sure on this one.. yet.

    Once upon a time, when I worked for a living, I was a database admin, among other functions. Sometimes, when investigating a complaint, I had to use someone else's computer --- one that didn't have the admin software on it. 'Course that was a long time ago --- late '90's. BTW, I'm currently using a Safari browser on a Mac --- latest version SW. I have another app that won't function correctly with Safari, and need Firefox to work --- per the app team.

    DBA hey - you would be surprised how the tools have changed now... but in some way are still the same. =)

    Ultimately I think the issue is one of two things:
    1) Time-out for logging you out for inactivity maybe to short.
    2) When moving between images that are HTTP and HTTPS for some reason its not seeing it as the same site.

    I had seen this some on the test site.. that I was able to track down to #2.

    @Dave.0 - still looking into this. Essentially I think you want a top level “button” like FORUMS, MEDIA, MEMBERS, etc up top. Is that correct?

    That appears to be some sort of sub-menu. Taking with developer about it.
