Every time I click the Mark site read button (top or bottom), I see this error

Sorry, it is too small to see because there is an error code: 2S119/1

I press the back button on my browser (FF ESR v 91.5.0) and try again.

It works the 2nd time I try but never the first time.

A brief Search shows this Invision error to be quite common. It seems to be complained about mostly on other Invision boards when logging in to the board.

 

I would suggest a nice cookie/cache dump and restart to see of your browser is just choking on a corrupt cookie. If you have another browser handy, Liz, it would be interesting to see if you experience the same thing in that one, too.

 

Let us know...

Vivaldi doesn't show the error.

So there must be something in FF, perhaps an addon causing this.

 

Tomorrow, I'll try FF with the addons disabled and see what transpires.

Today I'm viewing the site using FF ESR in troubleshooting mode. When I selected to make the site read, I didn't get the error so apparently this site chokes on either my theme or one of my addons.

 

I'll start tomorrow my enabling 2 addons and see what happens. Fortunately, I don't have many addons so it shouldn't take too long to figure out the issue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

My theme appears to be causing the problem. I had my theme, HTTPS everywhere, noscript and uBO enabled and saw the error.

So, a few hours later, I fired up my laptop. I kept all of my addons enabled and only disabled my theme. I clicked Mark site read and no error.

I'm totally confused now.  I'm on my desktop computer again and have all addons enabled and my theme enabled  and when I clicked Mark Site Read, I got no error. it simply did what I asked.

Aren't computers wonderful?  No matter how many years I use them, they never cease to amaze me.

I tell mine to behave and it doesn't!

Anyway, no changes in anything on my end: all addons enabled, theme enabled and I haven't seen an error message here in a few days when I click  Mark sit read.

The computer is just playing with me. This morning I got the error message - again.  <sigh>

I'll ignore it, press the back button in FF and on the 2nd attempt, no error and everything is marked as read.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I thought I'd add an update a week and a half later. Every other day I see the error and every other day I do not! I know it makes no sense. I was trying different things - letting all the tabs load completely before I clicked mark site read and trying to click before everything completely loaded. It doesn't seem to matter. Yesterday - error; today - no error!

A small "way of life" improvement added - you can now find a "jump to top" button at the bottom of the page. It's not currently enabled on mobile, but can be if anyone wants it. :)

Someone mentioned on another thread that it was a cool feature but wished it was on mobile.

I've used an extension in FF for years called "Back to Top", which gives me Right Click menu options for top/bottom of pages. However, since I prefer to not remove my hands from the keyboard most of the time, I just use Home and End keys to do the same thing.

 

Lots of folks don't know about any of the above, so this little addition that Will added here will work for them. Thanks, Will! :)

I use the desktop version  of Brave on my chromebook at Scot's so I could see and use the arrows. Thank you - it saves me much needed scrolling. (There is a big difference between an 11" screen and a 22" screen).

 

Other sites don't have this feature but a happy accident allowed me to discover a scrolling feature I can use. Because I don't use FF on android/chromebook as a browser and since a chromebook doesn't have a home and end key, I'm not able to use the two methods Eric mentioned. The up and down arrows on a chromebook allows me to scroll.

any new features for regular users?

 

I haven't noticed anything new, but that doesn't mean anything. Some of the "features" on this software are not enabled on our board here. Anyway, here are the release notes for the latest version, in case anyone is interested:
