OK FReepers, I am becoming frustrated FReeping on my iPad. Ever since the most recent update to Safari (iPad 8.4), whenever I click to read an article and then click back to the forum page my browser goes to the top of the page instead of back to the point at which I clicked away. This makes for excessive scrolling just to get back to where I left off. Any of you iPad users experiencing this or is it just me? (I am logged in) I read other forums where this does not happen, and the boss says nothing has changed on FR. Aside from choosing another browser, do any of you have a remedy, or must I suffer in silence in hopes the next Apple update will rectify this intolerable first world delima?
My iPad Air 2 - running iOS 9 Public Beta -
I don’t see the behavior you describe - I just clicked a link, read a bit of it (including some replies, tapped the left (back) arrow and was returned to the same place I was on the main screen...
“”Safari is an offshoot of Firefox...”
Huh?

Yeah, sometimes mine works like it should. I might be able to read several articles and click right back to where I was. Most of the time these days however, it clicks back to the top. This was originally a v6.x iPad mini. It could be getting to be time for a new one.
I don’t believe this has anything to do with what version iPad you have. Something is set wrong, possibly innyournforum view preferences (someone posted about that the other day in this thread).
