Bookmarks now sorted oldest created thread first?

Orca · April 12

This wasn't hitting earlier this morning. As of 11:10am PST on the desktop site, with Firefox, I'm seeing my bookmarks sorted seemingly oldest first, by date the thread was created.

On the other hand, maybe this is a deliberate action to make it so we clean up our bookmarks. :P

This also happened to me as of like ~11:10 AM pst on mobile (safari)

m!ttens · April 12

Same for me as well, also within the last 5-10 minutes

Same, chrome, mobile, pixel 6

skeldare · April 12

Happening for me too in both mobile and non-mobile site

Cambiata · April 12

Just noticed this as of 1:20PM CST. On Chrome, Windows 11 Home.

Yeah I have Bookmarks as my default page and I was very confused when I just checked in.

Peewi · April 12

Same here. I opened my bookmarks and was quite confused.

"Why is someone necroposting on How I Met Your Mother?"

Orca · April 12

Same issue on Safari, iOS.

Drovek · April 12

Android in Firefox, same issue

As a tip, the recent discussions page helps navigate around this (same issue on most recent iOS, Safari).

It also shows considerably more bookmarks in the dropdown when I click the star icon.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

i very briefly thought there was news on alpha protocol and was kinda excited

Even worse I went through and unsubbed a lot of those old threads and it didn't save my progress at all lmao

Brolo · April 12

it also seems to have marked a ton of threads as "read" erven though I've never clicked on half of these

if you have no bookmarks, it marks the entire subforum as read.

as you can imagine it's basically made the forums for me at least very unusable

Even if you do have bookmarks it can happen. I show every thread in H&A as read which...that can't be right

Chrome on android, same issue.

knitdan · April 12

This made me realize i had a lot of old defunct threads still bookmarked

Thawmus · April 12

I suddenly wish there was a way to unmark 9 pages worth of bookmarks.

RoyceSraphim · April 12

Same with Chrome as of 1327 pacific time

minor incident · April 12

Checked my bookmarks. Eyes widened.

“What year is it?!”

There's generally no point in removing them, I've never bothered

Thawmus · April 12

I think one of the biggest realizations I've had is just how old some of the threads that are still alive and kickin' are. Just getting like one post a week, been here for 10 fuckin years.

EDIT: Oldest I have is the Computer Security Thread, which was born in 2009.

My bookmarks are likewise affected, however they are in no apparent order. Tons of threads I don’t even recall bookmarking all the way back, at least, to 2013. But the first is a thread about Ecco the Dolphin from 2014 and the next is a thread from 2022. Also, if I press the bookmark star on mobile a second time it locks the page and I have to refresh the page to allow any action to take place, including scrolling.

I’m on Chrome on iOS 16, if that matters.
