Fluther doesn’t work that way so . . . .not a glitch !

Fluther moves on is doesn’t stay on a certain date.

You probably just clicked on page 2 of the General section. As of right now (and most of today), the top questions would be from 25 May 2022.

@SavoirFaire I think you have a typo. The top questions yesterday in General were from June 5.

Clicking on a page requires purposeful work. Scrolling allll the way down, (and I haven’t had to do that lately ) and placing the curser on the number, and then clicking. Maybe a glitch happeened from my end. I don’t make the assumption that the glitch is from whatever website I’m on. “Some kind of glitch I guess.” in my detail. (Edited)

@janbb Not on page 2 they weren’t.

@chefl It certainly could have been a glitch, but there are other ways to load the next page than scrolling and clicking. On many desktop browsers, for instance, the tab key can be used to cycle through links. If one then presses return while a link is highlighted, that page will load. I’m not saying that’s what happened, but it’s possible.

@SavoirFaire, I never knew that about the tab key. Interesting.

This question is a specific case of a need for functionality that I have wanted practically from day 1, on all computers everywhere: namely, a keystroke combination that answers the question “What did I just do?” Maybe you want to know how to do it again, or maybe you want to avoid it forever, or maybe you just want to know what caused the phenomenon you are now seeing or what it thinks it’s doing. A console printout in the old days would tell you. Now, with an unintentional stroke or slip of the fingers, we have no idea.

@SavoirFaire Aha – I misread your answer.

@janbb If there is a way to ensure that information was kept entirely local (that is, not shared with your internet provider or the websites you visit), then I agree that a “what did I just do?” function would be pretty great. I’m not a coder, however, so I don’t really know how feasible such a thing might be.

@janbb No worries!

@SavoirFaire, I take your first response above ^^ to be meant for me. My thought pertains to the actual mechanical operation of the device and not to search history or surfing trail. I want it to come back and say, e.g., “Alt + W + %” in response to my asking what I just did. Then I will know why all the images are suddenly upside down and covered with green spots, or whatever.
