View New Content option occasionally disappears

[Tam & Di]

I use ApplePowerbook and Firefox. Generally at top left of the screen and bottom left of the page  I have "Home > Activity > View New Content". Top right shows "View New Content" and bottom right of the page too, plus also "Mark Site Read".

Occasionally and seemingly at random I lose the option "View New Content", and can't even get back to it by using the back-arrow to all prior pages. Then suddenly it reappears again as usual when I close the thread I've been reading.

It is mildly annoying when it happens, but not the end of the world 😉

Is this a known quirk?

I have the VNC page set as a bookmark, so I always go straight to that rather than the forum home page.

I'll give that a try, but as I am on mains power (and lazy) I generally just leave open the 5 or 6 sites I view regularly, so I'm not often starting it from scratch.

I use the Opera browser and when opened up it restores all the pages I was looking at when I closed it.

I recommend saving it as a browser bookmark in Firefox. The URL for VNC is as follows:

On a side note, I did take the VNC server offline briefly yesterday for a kernel update but it wasn't down for long, so not sure if this has anything to do with it. We do this approx twice a month.
