Bug Report: Please Fix Clicking "Unread Posts" and it loading the bottom of the page

[DPG]

Can you also fix this thing that's started lately where you click on a thread with unread posts and it scrolls right to the very bottom. Then you have to scroll right up to find the last post(s) that you haven't read yet. Very annoying. Cheers.

I've moved this to a thread of its own mate so I get on it.

Can those who have experienced this please reply with what browser and what device you use.

It'll help when debugging it.

(I've had the problem myself just even)

Been having this problem as well

Also getting problems with scrolling down when opening some threads, I get a small window with my email address in in the viewing pane and until I click somewhere in viewing pane it will not let me scroll down with the down arrow key

Using Firefox and Windows 10

 

[SparkySy]

Yes me also for a couple of days!

Scroll's straight to the bottom of the page!!

Chrome windows 10 & android

I know what it is. Leave it with me.

It has stopped I'm guessing it was dropping to the Facebook ad at the bottom which is gone.

Do you still have that Facebook link at the bottom?

No it isn't that mate.

I've changed forums from general discussion forums to question and answer forums and a couple of other types like article setup and stuff. Then changed them back here and there. And the forum has just lost its marker of where post 2 starts which is different depending on which forum type you're in. So I've just started the forum process of rebuilding the threads and it'll take an hour or so to recount them and whatnot.

Problem is with doing this, peoples post counts can change dramatically as it will literally recount all post in all threads in all forums.

So let's see what happens later when it's complete, and then after 4hrs from that everybodys local cache should have picked up a fresh copy of thread pages and it crosses fingers will be fixed. lol

I'm just clicking in this thread and when I click a post number it does shoot up to the top of "the viewing pain" (the visible part of a page that the screen is looking at) which is correct. At least now in this thread.

People: please click around a bit now see if its still doing it. And I have one more thing to try if it is.

Else then I'll have to do some debugging by removing some customisations and stuff to roll back to where it last worked right. And then go from there.

I've literally just started the process of changing plumbersforums.net to plumberstalk.net so am actually balls deep into code on that forum changing links and things to make it work right. It takes months to complete fully but the first few days are the most important. Need to monitor and fix broken links as and when they come in so am sort of whack a mole with them at the mo.

So see if you lads can break the forum now for me lol

 

[Dan]

^^^^^ That didn't work.

Ive disabled the thread scroll enhancements. I think it's that.

My eyes hurt

Going get my head down for a few got an early start on plumbers forums the lousy good for nothing damn thing just isn't doing what I want right now.

 

[SJD]

Weird scrolling seems to have just gone away!

 

[Dan]

It didn't just go mate it took me hours find lol

On another bug I no longer see the last poster on a thread in the list of new posts threads been like this for a week or so

Does it display the first post in that place instead?

 

[UNG]

It displays like this

Just blank where the last poster used to be displayed

 

[Dan]

Yeah that's intentional mate I'm just trying to get google pickup the first post and associate that with the thread title. For some threads it kept changing it to the last post which sometimes isn't about what the thread is about.

Let me give it a few weeks and I'll do a check and see what the crack is.
