How do you go back one page in the mobile theme or mobile skin or whatever you call it. I can go back "Home" or "Back to Subforum" or back to "Generation", or back to previous posts within a specific thread but I can't figure out how to just go back one page to view previous threads.
I could do that on the Garage Talk app. Unfortunately when I was told about the new "Mobile skin" I deleted the app. Now I can't get that back either!

Thanks
Tom

If I understand you correctly, wouldn't that be the browser's back button to go back to the previous page? Every browser has a back button as part of their GUI. Some mobile devices have gestures that also do that function.

Yes, the Garage Talk app has been discontinued. It is no longer available for download as it's no longer supported. The mobile skin is the replacement for the app.

Yes. That is how I would back up on my laptop. But there is no browser back up button showing when I am in the CF. Somehow, and I don't remember how, I set up this link to direct access the forum without having to open my browser, Safari.

Unless you have an app, which you said you no longer do, then a website can only be loaded via the browser. You can set a website to have it's on shortcut, as you appear to have done so, but it still needs to run in the browser. Your screen capture doesn't tell us which browser(s) you're using. That said, both Safari and Chrome both have button buttons in their browser and Apple also uses back button gestures that can be enabled or disabled.




Unless Safari/Apple changed, the above is the Safari menu that will appear on the bottom in the browser. You may want to look at Apple's online support for Safari, and gesture, usage.

OK. It must be the shortcut.
This screenshot is accessed through Safari. Not the browser buttons at the bottom of the page.



This one is from the shortcut.
