How Does Unread Posts Work?

[Matt]

I don’t see the ignore feature. Can someone please point it out?

[Giles]

Sorry, ignoring you.

[Matt]

Wow. How did I not see that one coming?

@Matt see above, I posted the wrong screenshot as the last point

[Matt]

Thank you AJ.

Hopefully this is a reasonably appropriate thread to post my ‘problem’…

I recently started browsing this forum again, after several years off.

Annoying thing is, that while scrolling through thread posts on my iPad, sometimes it suddenly jumps through a fuckload of posts and settles in some seemingly random spot. It happens even when i am attempting to scroll quite slowly from post to post.

What am I doing wrong? I don’t get this problem scrolling throigh anyother kind of online material, so it is something particular to this forum.

@RocknRoll you can change the scroll settings to view the forum in pages, as opposed to an infinite scroll. Check your settings, and I can look later when I’m at my computer if you still need help.

@seawolf

Beauty! Yes, the ‘pagination’ option is a great solution.

All sorted, thanks mate!

@RocknRoll Just curious, but if this in new threads or old? When I open an "old" thread which I've already viewed before it takes me to the last post where I currently left off, meaning I can just scroll and see all the new ones I missed

Not sure but hopefully seawolf helped you!

@Jord
It appeared to be unrelated to that, and was happening at random (as best i could tell).

I’ve now changed settings to 20 posts per page, so even if i get random scrolling oddities at least i will be in the same vicinity.

Maybe i’m just getting old….

Thanks for the ideas!

It’s also probably loading images which causes the posts to jump when the pic inserts. It is annoying, but less so with the pagination enabled

@seawolf Thanks for the tip!

[Alex]

Pagination is way better than infinite scrolling for our forum due to how many photos we all post. Also, @RocknRoll your read settings may not have carried over with you, so you may have been combatting 'reading' stuff you'd already read as well as the infinite scroll demons too.
