The point is before the forum software update or change there were navigation buttons at bottom and top. They are now gone…Tapatalk got dumped then the RRB software change took away navigating without scrolling to top or bottom of post and looking for a link to go backwards. So I’m not spending time looking at other posts now. Change isn’t always good. After 10 years I’m slipping away.

From inside the forum, logged-in, I clicked on “home”. This screenshot is what I remember seeing before the big software update.
When selecting “forum” in the menu the navigation bits disappear. I’m not an IT person, just a consumer/user/customer that would like some customer service:

I don't remember seeing that bottom toolbar before. That screenshot might help the forum techs figure out what you were talking about though.
That looks like a Safari icon in blue, bottom right corner. Matches the font size buttons next to web address at the top of MF's screen. That makes me think those missing navigation buttons are a browser feature similar to the Chrome ones that I posted earlier.

@MazdaFlyer , I wonder if that toolbar is a iPhone Safari browser thing.
Here is a screenshot of a possible answer from a google search I did.
I also found this which has a short video showing the bottom toolbar going away then reappearing with a touch.

Mobile Safari (Whyyyy?!) - Engineering Blog
Have you ever felt the fear when someone from the Executive team finds a bug on your site? I have. Recently. It’s all because of mobile Safari. I’m one of the engineers on the Listings team at Eventbrite. We work on the event page, which I like to think of as the heart and soul … Continue...

And thus began the month long saga of finding a solution to this problem. It turns out that the normal behavior of mobile Safari is to shrink the top address bar and hide the bottom navigation bar on scroll. When an approximately 44px high space on the bottom of the window is touched, the bottom navigation bar reappears.
Yep…That’s the way I remember the RRB Forum software working before the “update”.
If you scroll to bottom of thread and click touch the bottom of screen you get the toolbar back momentarily and then you get the “XenForo” page…
I may be wrong, but from what I read in the write up and elsewhere, that functionality is part of Safari and doesn't have anything to do with whatever webpage or forum you are on. Maybe it's a setting on your browser? Does that toolbar show up for other webpages? Did it before?
The whole key to my complaint is that the bottom toolbar and the top “done” button used to show up before the software update. I’ve stated this numerous times. No settings in Safari that I’ve found.
looked at some other websites, the bottom toolbar is active and accessible.

@MazdaFlyer When looking at the forum using iPhone and Safari our tech sees this.
If you notice the controls are at the bottom. Nothing has been changed in the software.
What you need to do is a long press on the title bar of the browser. And it will hide automatically when you scroll down.

So if I ditch the desktop button you sent out and access RRB forum directly through Safari the navigation seems to work as before…something changed.
wow…
