Are you ashamed of us :-( 

I wouldn't expose to them to the politics forum. Everything else is fine.

Per "Last Post" discussion.

- Apple OS 10.13.5

- Safari

- Single mouse Click "Last Post" and 100% of the time takes me to post #1 in thread.  I've clicked the button various locations.

- Option + mouse (to open in new tab) and it takes me to last unread post, 100% of the time.

Thanks for the detailed update. It's really weird that Safari is basically ignoring the ?newestpost=true at the end of the link attached to the button. But if I inspect it from the developer tools and click the link in the developer console, it works just fine. I don't understand why it would be doing that in the slightest.

Because Apple/Safari is stupid.

JUST FIX IT!!!

Fix Apple? Okay...

I'm now aware of an issue with posting a new thread. It is pretty slow, which could cause double posting (belly). If you create a new thread, you don't need to click the button again, just let it go, it only takes a few seconds.

A few times today I have noticed some weird behavior with the "last post" button. The page loads with the thread title but no posts actually appear.  

I think it's been previously reported, but there seems to (still) be a post counting bug. Correct me if I'm wrong but there are 10 posts to a page. I've noticed that sometimes the thread counter says there's 11 posts and adds a second page, but when you click the second page there's actually nothing there. Seems to apply to any thread where is a factor-of-ten-plus-one post count. For example, if a thread had 71 posts, it should have 8 pages with the 8th page consisting of one post. In that scenario I've noticed if I hit page 8, it's blank. 

Could be related if people are hitting "last page" and it happens to be one of those threads. 

On a completely unrelated note, locked threads are way too pronounced and stick out. You should tone down the pink and make it gray or something so it doesn't grab attention.

Will look into these more. I agree about the locked threads being too bold, though they are rare. That's an easy change though, so I'll do it when I have other stuff to move in.

As to your first point, that seems to happen to me when I click "last post" on a thread that I hadn't opened before (such as clicking on the thread from the main forums page because it's the last one that anyone has responded to on a particular forum). If it's one I've been to before, it usually goes to the last post I've read previously, but as others have mentioned, there have been times where I just go to the last post, period.

Last post still sucks on phone. Did the site get bluer? It's lighter on top and as I scroll down it's darker. Weird

I am aware it still has issues on safari. Unfortunately I haven't figured out the issue. It works fine when I test it in my development environment, but doesn't work on the live site.

Yes, the site got a little brighter blue. I changed the dark blue to a gradient from lighter to dark blue.

The text entry issue I mentioned the other day to you is still there too. Not a big deal though. 

These info links are super neato.

Yep. Trying out some new ad options. As it stands, the site is losing money each month, so...

Infolinks aren't generating much, if any revenue, so I'll likely remove them in a few days.

That said, the site might be reaching the end of its life, as I'm not going to subsidize it out of my own pocket.
