Where do we report issues with the new forum?

[goosehd]

@Alex ...but if you get rid of AJ, who are you going to blame for when everything goes sideways?

[ARNC]

@goosehd in other words, If AJ did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him?

(With apologies to Voltaire.)

[AdamJ]

I was waiting for @goosehd to come and save me

@ARNC ever the philosopher

[goosehd]

@AdamJ I do like you and you serve many useful purposes...cant wait to see you in a couple of weeks!!

[goosehd]

...and besides the rule of thumb is always to blame the guy who isn't there...@AdamC has been a little quiet (suspecting he's off on a couple of days break before the madness begins).

@goosehd I am here watching from afar, just giving @AdamJ the abuse verbally

[pechelman]

I've noticed sometimes when scrolling in a thread on Android the page gets completely frozen. It looks like this might happen if one of the fly out side bars gets barely activated in the background by a finger swipe that isn't perfectly vertical. The page can be unfrozen by properly swiping left or right for one of those side bars to fully extend and then just pop it back to the side.

Clearly this isn't a big deal since I know the fix, but is there some tolerance that can be adjusted on those side bars being activated?

[goosehd]

@pechelman Same issue on iPhones with the same fix as mentioned.

[Tago Mago]

@AdamC happy to see you bringing the digital abuse into the real analogue world

[five-pocket]

Don´t know if this has been mentioned by others, but I find scrolling impossible, it jumps all over the place. I don´t come here much anymore for that reason.

[AdamJ]

@five-pocket Sorry to hear. Is it specifically on your phone that it's jumping? Presume you're referring to the loading of images in to a thread which moves you around?

[Graham]

@five-pocket - I would suggest turning on pagination in settings as well, this will put 20 posts per page rather than having all posts load in one continuous scrolling page which can be difficult to scroll as it loads hundreds of posts.

[goosehd]

@Graham Excellent recommendation!!

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Just did this - thanks, @Graham!

[hbg1]

@Graham thanks so much for this suggestion, incredible!

[Giles]

Thanks @Graham - Good call......

[five-pocket]

@AdamJ Hi Adam, thanks for your answer. I use browser and if I start reading the last posted and scroll up to read the previous, it just jumps way back and I have to scroll back and forth to get back in the line of posts.
@Graham ´s suggestion to turn on pagination in settings did the trick, now I can go back and forward page by page, much like the old general setting I guess.
Thanks very much

[AdamJ]

Great to hear, nice one @Graham

[goosehd]

@AdamJ Silly question: Can pagination be set as default for all users? Does it need to be?

Edit: at the admin level.

[AdamJ]

@goosehd infinite scroll is default because that's what the developers (of NodeBB) intended for the ever scrolling, conversational element of the forum. Granted, they likely didn't have beautiful denim wearing enthusiasts in mind when doing this.

At this point, I'm not going to change any defaults, as that will equally irk the non-pagination leaning users. Hopefully we can improve the lazy loading and reduce the impact of images further still
