Can I get it back so that when I open up on the site it starts at the main page ???
http://talkback.writers-online.co.uk
or http://www.writers-online.co.uk
Hope that helps!
Webbo, my bookmark won't clear. It keeps telling me I have new comments to read but when I check there are none...
I'm not sure why this would be happening StF. It works fine for me. Have you tried emptying your cookies and cache? Or de- then re-bookmarking?

I think this might be something to do with your screen size and setup Jay, but will see if something can be done to "jump to input box" rather than "jump to bottom"
I don't think that's the problem Webbo, I access talkback on my home computer, the school computer and my new laptop but it stil tells me I have new posts to read... I tried unbookmarking a thread and re bookmarking it but it still came up with all the comments as new...
For the year 12s thread, if a new post is added, does the number go up or is it completely static? What is the number it gives?
Seen your comment on the nicest thread, one new. I read it, comment and now it's gone like it should do.
Please could you try bookmarking this thread: http://talkback.writers-online.co.uk/comments.php?DiscussionID=178956&page=1 and see how that behaves? Then perhaps we'll try adding some new comments there and see what happens
I'd still be interested to confirm this if poss, if you could try with that other thread I linked?
Just posted this in another thread.
Thought it might be better however if I put it here as well.
The first bit is from Jay - he talks about a problem of copying links into posts.
The second bit is my addition of how my bookmarks are not working propper like.
Can you help?
(Quote Jay's words)
Usually you just highlight the webpage to be linked to; then copy & paste it to where you want it to be shown. But, with Talkback webpages, there seems to be a problem - when you press the link, it just takes you to the top of the current thread. But Webbo can explain how to make a Talkback link!
(Quote Gully's words)
At the same time there is a problem with the sidebar.
If I'm at the bottom of a thread I click on "Top of Page" to get back up to where I can read the sidebar.
If I then click on one of my bookmarks the screen just goes shooting off downwards to exactly half-way down the current thread.
I have to click on the "Discussions" tab and wait for the list to load before I can click on my bookmarks.
Most annoying.
Also fairly boring (but that might just be me).
The problem is to do with the very last bit of any links ending "#Item_39" or whatever number. For some inexplicable and seemingly unfixable reason, this confuses creaky old Talkback, so it ignores the important information that you want to go to another page and attempts to take you to item #whatever on the page you are currently on.
So when you highlight the url and paste it in, just make sure you delete the # and anything after it...
eg this shouldn't work (but probably will now just to make me look stupid)

but this one will

This is actually causing the same problem with your bookmarks. Try any problem bookmarks from (say) the index page, rather than being on a thread, and I expect they will work as expected, but if you on a thread which has an item # that matches the one on your bookmark, it probably won't.
I think
