There is an option to switch to pagination in your settings. Definitely helped me.

I'm trying the pagination setting. So far it's not an improvement.

@chrisjohnnick I was reading through some of the older posts and just wanted to highlight a useful suggestion that you had where you wanted to save posts for later. You can now bookmark posts and you'll be able to go back to them via your profile.
Just hit the 3 dots menu at the bottom right of a post and then press 'Bookmark' to save it.

Switching to Chrome browser in mobile mode now and the pagination setting. Results seem to be better for the jittery text issue. I hope I'm not speaking too soon here.

The typing box for replying also works much better than Firefox.

The top 2 bars bouncing up and down is still present and an annoyance but overall this may be my answer.

Much appreciation for all the help!

Awesome, thanks! I totally missed that.

@Madame-Buttonfly Hi P how have you been!!

Well this username is kinda embarrassing but i have gotten used to it.

Used to play a lot of Dota2 during my time in university. Me and my buds would be on skype calls to communicate for dota2 and i get cranky a lot when playing and i also fart a lot (which they always heard it over the mic). Thus the name.

I’m still seeing the bug that the side panel opens and then the screen freezes. This happens when I swipe to go back on my iPhone 13. Both the back functionality and opening the panel happen simultaneously and then I can’t get rid of the panel.

[AdamJ]

@DrPat We've identified the issue and we are working on a fix for this as we speak, hopefully will be rolled out today. Thanks for highlighting

[AdamJ]

Mobile updates have now been rolled out so the menu does no longer get stuck and there is a close menu button.

[SKT]

@AdamJ appreciate the updates. Mobile/browser use keeps getting smoother.

[AdamJ]

@SKT glad to hear it

[jtaylor69]

Thanks for your feedback regarding the 'Mark as read' feature. We've now added a confirmation so that a slip of the finger no longer marks all as read with thanks to a confirmation message.

Guys I’m having some issues scrolling back in the mobile browser…sometimes it will skip way back or stutter. It’s erratic. Just a heads up

[jtaylor69]

@SKT Is that when scrolling up to see older posts?
What phone and web browser are you using?
Lastly, any threads in particular where you've noticed it - any that have many images for example?

[SKT]

I’m using an iPhone 14 and the DuckDuckGo browser. Yes it’s when I’m scrolling up to see older posts. Usually only happens if I scroll quite a ways. I’ll pay more attention to when it happens and report back. Thanks @jtaylor69

[jtaylor69]

@SKT if you're able to do a screen recording, that'd be really helpful so we can see what's happening.
If not, we will see if we can reproduce it on our end.
I think it's most likely when the older posts are loaded in as you scroll (we don't load in all posts at once to ensure that the system performs at its best).

@jtaylor69 was planning to hop on today to ask about this showing up. Is there a way to allow us to toggle this confirmation popup on or off? Personally would like it off. If there is a slip of the finger, we can go to the "Recent Posts" and see all the things that we may have just cleared away.

Also, is there any chance of different visual themes for the forum? Thinking something in a "dark" to go easier on the eyes.

I don't think this is going to happen, sorry. We have other areas to focus on development wise than to remove this double click UX. Sorry

This is something we may consider
