Fixed PWA has no "back" button

[ust]

Affected version

2.3 Beta 6

All 2.3-Betas up to 6 have no "Back" button in the Progressive Web Application. The "Up" button is visible and usable, the "Back" button not.

I think that button was only there on my account.

In 2.2.x it is there. Anyway: swiping right (with thumb or two fingers) is a feasible solution - you only have to know about it. (At least on iOS 17.x)

from what i remember reading it was added when pwa support was added for ios devices. though i could not find that mention again.

when i updated my 2.2.5 build to a more recent build, it arrived on it and was visible on androids as well. though i never saw it here on xf community pwa which was quite weird. seeing that back button was annoying initially but i learnt to ignore it eventually.

it disappeared when i installed beta builds and haven't seen it so far as you mentioned. i am sort of fine in either case. though i would prefer if it was optional on androids at least.

It was there in 2.3 at one point I’m pretty sure. It’s gone missing. I’ve looked everywhere. Can’t find it. We’ll track it down and bring it back.

Consider making it a style property like Display page jump buttons on scroll!

It's in the interweb void, somewhere

If I was a betting man, and a drinking man, I'd happily bet a pint that this won't happen. As it is, I'll just say that if it happens, I'll eat my hat. Albeit an edible chocolate flavour hat.

Still missing the back button. This makes using the site via pwa very inconvenient.
Would be nice to get this fixed.

Safari loves swipe right. That gesture goes back

Bumping bug reports achieves nothing except wasted time for developers who have to check why the thread has been bumped.

Of course! It is because of customers that developers waste valuable time. When I was still a XenForo customer it was my main fear: not to waste time for developers by asking where we were on solving a bug... If customers were a little more disciplined we would probably be at XF 4.

Hmm... Sucky sarcasm =

I think the bug bot is having a day off. This is fixed, thanks!

And now I would have to find a way to hide it on Android devices lol.
