I don't remember seeing a box to tick.. I was having a temper tantrum at the time because of not being able to scan a qr code, that was on my phone, with my phone, and the "secret" thing wouldn't work.
I don't think I'll risk it just yet.
Try following the underlined links from the threads list...follow the thread down to the last post, click the Return to Home link, repeat for all unread links.
As I said, tried that.
It's working on some posts like the new one just started, just not for about five of the existing threads. Must be those pesky cookies.
Not sure if you've done something your end. Or me repeating trying each thread, refreshing page a few times, then clicking return to home, is helping clear cookies over time, but I now only have two still underlined (I've done each thread several times now, I'm getting there though)
Can the 'Return to Home' URL/link be a little more prominent somehow? It's one of the links I'm using most but it's grey and tucked amongst the footer.
I guess. It needs moving out the footer to the bottom of the 'posts' div I would suggest. Near to where it says 'There are no more posts in this thread.'. But I guess that isn't something you can change as easily.
That's probably not happening. It's a handy link, in broadly the right place, to help people quickly return to home.
I like to keep things as close to default as possible, for maintenance/upgrade reasons. I'm not going to be making changes that give me a problem down the line, for such slim marginal gains.
