Where do we report issues with the new forum?
-
@DeeDee85 glad to know I'm not the only one
-
@popvulture just about get to what you were looking for then it cycles back through 40 posts.. then go really slowly back the other way, just about to get to what you were looking for and it cycles through 80 posts the other way..
-
Happens to me too. Both on an Ipad and an Iphone.
Never reported it but it has been happening for months. -
It's happened to me since basically the beginning of the new forum — I get why it does it, but I still wonder if there's some way to fix it. @AdamJ has anyone ever brought this up with you?
-
I'm assuming you are all on the infinite scroll setting rather than paginate?
-
@marco23d you sound like a wise man... I'm going to investigate this setting right now
-
Well hot damn that fixed it. I owe you a beer or a coffee or one of the things!
@DeeDee85 @motojobobo check it out in Settings, should do the trick for you.
-
@popvulture haha believe me it was driving me crazy at first. I tried to find the setting a while back, enabled it, but forgot to click save so i thought it was a lost cause. But it's life changing. Much more enjoyable experience.
-
@marco23d yeah much more enjoyable, indeed! Loading issue or not, I definitely prefer pages either way — for whatever reason it just gives me a clearer definition of time, plus I find it easier to go back and look for stuff if I roughly remember where it is page-wise.
-
Oh wow - yes thanks also
- just stumbled into this thread and you have solved something that was driving me nuts!! -
@popvulture @DeeDee85 we've been aware of it for a while and have looked in to multiple fixes, to no avail so far.
We don't want to make pagination the default, as by design the infinite scroll is meant to reflect more of a "news feed" type experience, as you get on Reddit for instance. However, Reddit doesn't have inline imagery, for this exact reason.
One solution floated was having images hidden by default with a "click to view" but this would impact the engagement, especially on image driven threads such as WAYWT etc.
I'm sorry we haven't found a full solution for it yet, but it's being worked on I assure you. Thank you for your patience, hope the pagination is an ok work around in the meantime. Once we've made significant development with Version 3 of the current platform I will post an update
-
I appreciate the info @AdamJ — that all makes sense. I get the value of the news feed experience and am definitely into that, but I'm completely ok with doing the paginated version until something gets worked out. And absolutely no worries at all re: not finding a solution yet! This stuff goes way over my head, and I'm in awe that y'all pull off what you do. Thank you!

The blue bar is floating in the middle of the page when scrolling.
Safari on iPhone 15 pro. I didn’t see this problem yesterday.

We're in the early phases of testing NodeBB Version 3 behind the scenes and hopefully the image/post moving issue will be sorted. Early doors but encouraging signs.
In addition, we're planning a number of UI improvements, particularly on mobile. We've been on the new forum for just over a year now so time for a new lick of paint I reckon.
