I didn’t see jump-to-last-unread on “seen them all” but did on others. Try looking at page 3 of Way Island and see what the continuity page looks like.

Still no jump-to-unread.

Definitely seeing jump-to-unread on continuity pages when I'm logged in. Did you get logged out and not notice?

That is not the defualt theme and there was bold on the previous screenshot.

Yeah, definitely logged in.

However, checking more carefully -- there seems to be jump-to-unread on other continuity pages for me. Just not on Silmaril, which is the one I most often go to by an order of magnitude.

I have no idea what's going on with that.


(Hypothesis: the time-traveling tech support fixed it retroactively, but posting the screenshot of Silmaril meant that became a fixed point in time, so they had to leave that one not working.)

For me Silmaril works correctly, except that you've seen them all does not. I have screenshot I’ll figure out how to post from my tablet if useful.

there is no "jump to unread" if the whole thread is unread, a thing you can identify because the thread title is bolded, and it is not bolded if you've read even one post at which point the jump-to-unread thing appears

Actually, looks like the same thing is happening for me. On the Silmaril page:


But I see it as unread on the subcontinuity page, https://www.glowfic.com/board_sections/110:


So my guess is it has something to do with untitled subcontinuities.

Pedro: yeah, I know about that thing, but I am a couple of pages into several of those Silmaril threads. (This came up because I was behind in Silmaril, and went to the unread threads page and opened up the ones I hadn't read yet, and then was trying to figure out what order I should be going in.)

The "untitled subtinuities cause problems" hypothesis sounds strongly explanatory. In particular it would explain why for other people everything but "you've seen them all" is working; other people are caught up on all the pre-"you've seen them all" threads in the untitled subtinuity, and so the lack of jump-to-unread isn't problematic for them.

I mean I'm pretty sure the untitled subcontinuity is just literally titled "untitled", so I don't think it's relevantly different.

I don't know what else would be up with this, though. It seems weird that it works in some places and not others and I haven't investigated it manually to try to work out what the reason is. (I haven't touched the unread code much so it'd be unfamiliar.)
