In the web GUI, "My Subscriptions" does display the last post in a thread. So this is working in vBulletin... which I have some control with. I have NO control with how Tapatalk displays the forum. none. All I can do is email their support folks.

It does look like it is now. I think Cheeryfool is on to something with the first post sticky suggestion. At any rate something has messed up how the board shows in Tapatalk compared to how it behaved with v3 and it would be great if you can figure out what that is and fix it. Thanks!

Absolutely. Where exactly is that setting?

Unfortunately I am not a vBulletin admin. Can you ask vBulletin how to make it behave like it did with v3, where the original post was not sticky at the top, irrespective of the chosen view order?

Maybe Mark can try switching off the setting that is always showing the original post first. I still think this might be part of the Tapatalk problem. At least we could rule it out if we try it.

Hi. Can you take a look at my screenshot of the “My Subscriptions” page. Can you make the change in the forum so that the text snippet is from the last post and not the first in that view (and in all views for that matter). If that does not fix Tapatalk can you contact them? This current behavior in Tapatalk is jarringly dysfunctional. It really makes it difficult to stay current on relevant threads.

Per "today's posts", it's working the way you would expect I think... at least in the web GUI. The OP is listed at the left and the most recent post is listed at the right. If you click the little >> icon, you'll end up at the last post of the topic.


If what you're seeing is happening in Tapatalk, I don't know what we can do about that? Tapatalk controls how the data is being formatted in their app. They may be doing it differently with this version of vBulletin. I don't know for sure.

I cleared the forum system cache... try now.

Still not working in Tapatalk correctly. I guess you are correct that it is on their side. Just to make sure it’s not still on forum side, does every view that shows a text snippet now show the snippet of the last post?


Edit: looking at the my subscriptions view it is still showing the first post snippet.

I've given up on the "Latest Activity" tab. A more fitting title might be "Some random sample of activity", certainly not "latest".

Interesting. I hadn't noticed before but just compared Latest Activity to Today's Posts, and Latest Activity does leave out certain posts that show in Today's Posts. It's not immediately obvious what the pattern might be.

Edit: To clarify I compared the Latest Activity when selected from the Home screen as I had assumed it would show ALL latest activity.

Clicking the >> or the forum subject takes me to the same place, but it always has the original post above the most recent one. How do we fix that and put it at the bottom where it belongs? I still think that might be (part of) the problem with Tapatalk. And it's still not showing any preview text like it used to in these views.

That's slightly better, but still shows the OP at the top. I also don't use the forum that way. I use the Today's Posts or even the last 2 weeks option: ( https://forums.homeseer.com/search?s...ssage%22%5D%7D )

In both of those views, there's still no preview and it's not even showing the latest poster/time currently. So on this thread the most recent poster and time is me at 09:53, and not you at 10:26.

Log out of the board on your PC and log back in. Now click "FORUMS" and then "LATEST ACTIVITY" as shown in the screenshot here. That should give you a list of all the latest topics with the last post displayed.

I am still looking for what I had before in both Web and Tapatalk...

I am still looking for what I had before in both Web and Tapatalk...

1. Original Post at the bottom
2. Newest post at the top In web I am seeing OP at top, then newest post right below. In Tapatalk I can't get the newest first to work at all anymore. I deleted and re-added TT to my phone this morning
3. In Tapatalk in the Timeline summary I am still seeing the cross-polination between the OP preview text but attributed to the latest responder
4. In Web in the summary list I am not seeing any preview text

I am losing touch with the community...

[macromark]

If this is the case perhaps you could trigger that again?
