    I'm probably not explaining myself clearly and i don't want to keep talking in circles about it. I just don't see a "Go to First Unread" option when I'm reading the forums on my phone. I see it clearly when using the desktop site, but I don't see a corresponding link on my phone (I would guess it'd be next to the "Next>" button). It's not a big deal, just an occasional annoyance and I thought I might have overlooked something.

    @CB_Michigan: Ahh...Yes. That link gets hidden in narrow views. But note that when you initially click on a thread that contains unread posts, you'll be brought to the first unread post anyway. That link will just jump you to it during the first view of the unread posts and will go away if the thread is refreshed and contains no unread posts.

    I came to mention the same issue as @CB_Michigan. Some older threads don't jump you to the first unread message, just like before. However, based on your post, @Todd, I rotated my phone's screen to landscape, and the button reappeared. It then disappeared when I went back to portrait. I can live with that. Thanks.

    I'm using Chrome on my phone, and I can't get the site to ask to use my location for the Nearby page. Chrome won't let me automatically allow my location to be shared either just to use the page once. Thus, it just says "Loading..." Do you have any information or suggestions?

    @BaseballNBeer It is possible you have disabled location for the entire browser or just this website. For solutions please have a look here: https://yandex.com/support/common/browsers-settings/geo-chrome.xml

    @Mike That didn't work for me. I can't get an option to automatically allow location for all sites. It's either disable or ask before allowing sites to know your location. I can't find a way to force that "question" to be asked.

    Thank you for your help, @Mike and @donspublic. I updated the Chrome app, and the Nearby page asked for my location the next time I loaded it. Now, the page works as intended. I'm not sure if the app update was the trick, but it works now. Cheers!

    How about a link at the bottom of the "Join the Discussion" box "show more"?

    Ever since the redesign, roughly every tenth "like" I try to make won't let me. Just can't like, reply to or quote certain posts. Refreshing doesn't help. Have tried to figure out a pattern to it, but can't. (It's not literally every tenth interaction -- but averages about that frequently.). Anybody else experiencing this? FWIW, I browse with Safari on an iPhone. Version 7.0.6.

    Not sure why would that be? I've posted this before in this thread but Windows Phone using Internet Explorer with the new BA design make it pretty easy to browse the site. Even WBAYDN, which with my previous, old crappy 'smartphone' was much harder to read.

    So neither a problem for 'likes' or just scanning though pics and threads here. But your question is very technical.

    Yeah. There's no rhyme or reason for this behavior, nor can I replicate it. Liking just works.

    That said, your iPhone version is 2-3 years old and no longer supported.

    I understand older operating systems can't all be supported. It's just bizzare. Thanks for taking a look.
