] Webbo, I'm not sure if this is a phone problem, or a TB site problem, so sorry if I'm burdening you unnecessarily.
When I got my new fancy phone (much later than the rest of the world), I installed TB on the 'front page' and managed to keep myself signed in at all times - NB, I will not be using correct technological jargon here. When I touched the icon, in seconds I arrived straight here. I've obviously fiddled inadvertently and although I can still see the page, I cannot take part as I'm no longer signed in.
'That's no problem,' I thought. I can just sign in again.
However, it's very confusing - and I've failed. At the top of the page on the dark red band is the option to 'Log in'. I tried until 1 am last night. I typed in my user name, I typed in my password, but every time a list of options came up which seemed to have nothing to do with letting me in.
Lower down on a blue bar is the option to 'Sign in'. However, this is mostly covered by a blank white speech bubble so that I can only see 'Sig-' This is extremely difficult to access and, again, didn't get me here.
A notice about cookies filled the bottom quarter of the screen with the instruction to touch the blue part of the message if you didn't want to see it. I tried that as it was blocking up the space where I was trying to see Login details, but it wouldn't disappear.
So, here I am on the Big Computer asking your advice... Thank you. 8->
Not that it matters at the moment...but earlier, when I'd forgotten my new password, and I clicked on the email from Webbo's support team, it momentarily took me to a 'new password' screen, but then flashed on to the non-logged in page. I tried several times. But if I hadn't suddenly remembered my new password I doubt I'd ever have found my way home...
Sorry to be a bother, Webbo, but I still have to scroll down every time I look at a thread. In the olden days, they used to open up at exactly the point I had left them.

Same here - I was almost resigned to it until I saw other people are suffering too. Perhaps Webbo can upgrade this from 'niggle' to 'problem' ?
It's all very well to be able to jump to the end of a thread - but I don't want to jump to the end - I want to continue from the last post I have read. It can be irritating to the point of often not bothering.
A small oddity cropped up today, Webbo. I went into the OWC thread and spotted a typo in my last entry so I edited it. After I had done so the three (?) 'thank you's had vanished.
Hi Webbo - could you tell me how I can access my list of bookmarked discussions? The most recent ones are showing, but I can't figure out how to find the rest. Many thanks

Did you see this one, Webbo? Could be causing a few issues.

We'd better get off Webbo's thread before there's trouble at inn.
