Hi Sue, thanks for the follow up. I sent you a direct email so I could include screen prints of what I'm getting.
Thanks, Bart -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Susan Shumway Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2018 8:51 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Knowledge Centre - (was Re: Rant) Hi Bart, I followed your example on Firefox and wasn't able to recreate a reset nav. First, I opened the nav and clicked the pushpin icon at the top right corner to pin it open. I then clicked through the nav to the "MVS system commands reference" topic and then clicked the "MODIFY command" link near the bottom to bring me to that topic. The nav on the left refreshed and did look like it reset - it didn't scroll properly to show the "MODIFY command" topic in the branching. However, after I scrolled a bit to find it, I saw that it was indeed highlighted as the active topic and expanded. The IBM KC product development team has been working to improve the nav, so I'll pass your comment along to them as an example of the current user concerns.
