If I try to visit a deleted topic (by clicking a notification, for example) in the DiscourseHub app, I obviously get a 404 page. Some stuff is disabled on 404 pages. For example, I can’t tell that I’m logged in. Presumably this is to decrease server load. Makes sense. But the problem is that I’m al…

No, the FAQs are still part of the Ember app. By “static page” above, I meant pages that don’t load the Ember app at all. There aren’t many of those I ran a few quick tests, and the only way I can hit a non-Ember 404 page is if I type a bad URL in the browser by hand. If I click on a link inside Di…

The back and forward buttons show for me though? If you scroll downward it pops up, see my view: [image] Also, you could click on any of the links to access another topic and navigate away. This wouldn’t be ideal though.

Very odd. I did try this twice before reporting. On meta. The only way I could get them to show up was as you suggested, clicking another link. Edit: Wait a minute. Does the 404 page work different for an admin? Because I couldn’t even tell that I was logged in until I navigated off the 404 page, w…

This can happen when the contents of the page has a height that is near the height of the viewport. If you swipe up or down while on the 404 page, do the controls at the bottom start to show up? I’m not sure there is much we can do here, plus it should be an extremely rare use case (getting to a 40…

No, they don’t show up. I know how that works. It’s not that uncommon for me to click through to topics that have been deleted. It has happened to me enough times that I’ve figured out when it happens and what exactly happens and how to get out of that state. (Force quitting the app is the way I no…

[image] jtbayly: I don’t know where those controls are generated. I assumed it was in the app, not Discourse itself. They are generated in Discourse, not in the app. When we implemented that feature, we tried both approaches, and having them in Discourse was a much smoother experience. I hav…

Interesting. Fwiw, I just checked the FAQ page, which I would have assumed was a “static page,” but the controls are still there.

Yep, that’s what I do now. (If I remember before I force-quit, lol)

Thanks for the explanation, by the way.
