Can I skip the Overview screen?

(closed account) says:
When I go to www.rememberthemilk.com, I want to go

However, I always have to stop at the Overview screen first, then click on tasks, then the list I want.

There's a button on the Overview screen that says "Continue to Tasks" that I usually click, under that there's a hyperlink that alternates between "Don't skip this page" and "Always skip this page" when I click on it. The "Always skip this page" redirects me to the Task page, but when I close the browser (FireFox) and start over, I'm again on the Overview page.

What don't I understand?

Hm, doesn't sound like you're missing anything; that's exactly how it should work.

Do you have cookies and Javascript enabled for rememberthemilk.com?

If so, can you try logging out, deleting your cache and cookies for "rememberthemilk.com" and logging back in?

Let me know if you need any more specifics.

Also, if you'd rather, you could also submit an issue report and I'll get back to you personally.

Hope this helps!

Just change your bookmark to http://www.rememberthemilk.com/home//#section.tasks

The "#section.tasks" part will mean you always go straight to the tasks view.

odelaney,
Good point; if you navigate to http://www.rememberthemilk.com/home/andrewski/#section.overview it will go there regardless of the setting. So bookmarking #section.tasks would be a workaround.

But... when logged in, if you navigate to http://www.rememberthemilk.com/, it should redirect you to the default place, based on that setting. If that's not happening, I'd like to know. :)

I can easily change the bookmark which seems like the most expedient "solution."

Yes on the cookies and Javascript; I'll mess with the cache and whatnot and see if the behavior changes.

It sounds like it's *supposed* to skip the overview screen if I click on that "Continue to Tasks" link?

Just that once. (It should navigate from #section.overview to #section.tasks, but rememberthemilk.com/ will still navigate to #section.overview next time.) You have to click on "Always skip this page" to effect the change permanently.
