Ascending descending posts

Post by NATURAL ANKLING »

Hi,
Just recently well for a few months now, while I am using the app on iPhone.
When I go to the next page the post start at the bottom, I want to read them from the top?
I have adjust the ascending descending button from ascending to descending.
But on another post it still works like that you go to the next page and you are at the bottom again.

Hi,
Sorry not the app, there isn't one is there :oops:
i'm actually using old SE iPhone (iOS 14.3) and the "duck duck "app.
I've just checked it now after fiddling around with the ascending descending buttons within a post and it looks like it might be working okay ha ha.
I will check that later if it's still playing up.

Hi,
No when you go to the next page it still starts at the bottom again.
I will try the forum on Safari or Google Chrome on my iPhone see what happens there.

You can set your preference for the order posts are listed in on the website:

  1. Click on your username, top right
  2. Click on "User Control Panel"
  3. "Board preferences" tab
  4. "Edit display options" vertical tab
  5. Choose "Display topics ordering by:" and "Display topic order direction:"

By default it sorts by "Post time", "Descending".

Are you using the DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/duckduckgo-privacy-browser/id663592361

or Safari with DuckDuckGo as your search engine

or something else?

Thanks

Yes And Yes, but I realize that I do not need to use duck duck with safari.
I only normally use the app not the browser through safari.
Must of been a glitch with the d&d app I reckon, all well now.

OK so found settings in my profile :)

OK, so it happened again this morning, It seems to fix itself later, maybe after closing the app and reopening, cant be sure when it fixes itself, never turn off iphone, but it will autolock after a short time.
Iphone SE 1st generation, ios 14.3, duck duck app on phone.
I click on the topic with the red flashing icon with a star.
This takes me to next post to read, correct page etc.
Normally you read left to right top to bottom.

This only happens on my iphone with duckduckgo app (50 % use), as this is what I normally use, on my computer google chrome (50% use cycling uk forum), never seen it malfunction on the computer.
When I click on the Icon under topic, new post or my posts, it takes me to the post which is new but unread by me, I get to bottom of that page and see there is more next page.
When I click on next page it should take me to the top of next page of unread posts.
Instead it takes me to the bottom of the page and last post, so I have to scroll to top of page?
Att the bottom of page it says ascending.

Now I have never adjusted the settings at all so they are default.
this is default.
this is default.

If you select "display post direction" descending the whole thing reads backwards :? no idea why you would want to read last post which is presented as first post 1st page.....?
Its a minor problem for me and may well be something to do with my phone / using the duckduckgo app with this forum.

That sounds like a bug in the Duck Duck Go Privacy Browser app.

It would be a way to see the most recent posts first. I doubt many people use that option, though.

Yes, I think you've found a bug in the Duck Duck Go app.
