This keeps happening on my phone, (done it on my old phone aswell so not just this phone) not sure if a post has been made about this before, had a quick scan but couldn't see anything, anyone know why this is happening? I keep meaning to ask but always forget to take a screenshot... If I go back and click on the link again it works? It happens when I click on a forum post...

    What URL are you trying to reach, @Past User? Can you paste it here?

    Sometimes this means the post you're trying to view is no longer available publicly (e.g. if we've archived it), which is commonly the case with threads from seasonal forums like Cupid's Corner.

    I’ve done that before and found it’s if I accidentally click on the little blue circle next to each of the thread when trying to click onto it

    @Millie2787 ahh just tested it and that seems to be it, thanks :) now just to avoid the little blue circle lol

    It always used to bug me too until I figured out what it was 😂

    There was a thread I posted about this before and I don't think I ever got answers as to why it was happening. Can't remember

    Ah! That actually makes sense!

    Okay, I know what this is. :) We'll give our techies a shout and hopefully get this fixed.

    In the meantime, as has already been said, best to click on the thread title and not the blue bit.

    I’d wondered about this issue, glad it’s now removed :)

    It was only really an issue on my phone as sometimes I accidentally clicked the button

    I don't think I'd ever had this issue and I was gonna make a bug thread about the blue button dissappearing :lol:
    Ha! Surprised you noticed @Aidan - it's definitely the sort of thing I'd miss. Good eye.

    Yep @independent_, think that was the case for a few folks. It turned out to be a pointless button once we looked into it so removing it avoids that confusion altogether. :)

    @Shaunie does this show up at particular times or when you do specific things, or is it random? And is anyone else experiencing this? Looks like it's a Cloudflare issue which might mean it's not under our control, but we can do some digging if it keeps happening. :)
