Icons and jumping to most recent post

College Confidential Community

Hi CC Admins:

Two questions:

  1. Are there any updates on the disappearing icons? My issue is intermittent. I am not sure if others are continuing to have the same problem.

  2. Recently, I have noticed that in threads that I have looked at or commented on, there is usually a blue circle in the Latest page with the number of new posts since I last looked at that particular thread. When I clicked on the thread title, I would automatically be taken to just the new posts, which is convenient.

However, for the past several days, I’ve noticed it’s not taking me to the new posts but to posts that I’ve already read. I now have to scroll through several posts to get to the new ones, which are clearly marked in the thread with the red line.

Is this an issue on my end or a more widespread system issue?

Thank you.

I am also having both of these issues. The icons coming and going has been happening for awhile. Being brought to the wrong post just started a couple days ago.

Same here

Same jumping issues for me as well.

Same for me too.

Oddly, (knock on wood) I have not had any of these issues. Jon confirmed that I’m using light mode. Maybe you should change to that…if it really avoids these problems.

Well, @thumper1, based on your rec, I have just switched. I just don’t like the heart vs. the thumbs up!

Let’s see how it goes.

Right…I have the heart…haven’t had the thumbs up in ages…but it’s a trade off I’m willing to make….I’ve had my share of glitches with this site.

Yes, I see this on non-mobile browsing (mobile browsing does not have this problem). Firefox browser in both cases.

Well, light mode seems to be working better, so THUMBS UP to you!

I am using light mode and still get the incorrect jumping to the wrong post on non-mobile browsing.

@CC_Jon so what’s the issue here. For some light mode seems to help. For others…it doesnt.

For added info here. I’m using an iPad. I find this site unusable on a phone.

Unfortunately I had to switch out of light mode because the font was too light and wasn’t easy to read.

Light mode makes the font too light for me.

Regardless, Band-Aids on a gushing wound is not a solution.

There should also be a dark mode.

I’m in light mode and my icons still are randomly disappearing. (All good this morning though).

My icons also disappear intermittently. However, as I mentioned on another thread addressing this, I can still use the icons if I click where I know they are. So they aren’t gone, but just not visible.

In fact, right now, only the emoji icon and the three dots bottom right are visible in this post. I edited by guessing where the pencil icon is.

I’ve been set to light mode for ages and don’t have the disappearing icons, but I do have issues with inaccurate notifications, inaccurate numbers of new posts, getting directed to previously read posts, etc.
