Tim Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 So, in the last day or so, whenever I navigate to a new page on the forum, it instantly shift to the very bottom of the page, rather than allowing me to scroll there at my leisure. Is this a function you guys have put in to get people to the newest post asap, or has summat gone wrong with my laptop? It's not life or death, but is a bit annoying, especially if you go to a thread with a lot of posts on the page, and you haven't read many/any of them yet. Thoughts/remedies would be much appreciated. Ta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 If you click the topic from the index page (or last topic link on the right of screen), it will take you to the last post in that topic that you read (so all the posts in that topic since you last logged in) If you click each category then click the topic name within the forum, it should take you to first post of topic.

ethicalstrategy Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I have noticed this too. It's nothing to do with being taken to the last topic. It is a change to the normal behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mod Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'm not really understanding what's happening? Has this only just started and nothing to do with last posts in topics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PloKoon13 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 It's always done that for me, when I click on the 'latest post' tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethicalstrategy Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 What is happening is this: Click on a topic and instead of taking you to the top of the page it jumps to the very bottom. This could be a thread you've visited before or a brand new one. it started happening for me the other day but it does seem random as it doesn't always do it.

ethicalstrategy Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 having just typed that post and added it, instead of returning me to my post as normal it took me to the Fast Reply box. and then when I clicked on View New Posts it took me to the bottom of the list of new topics.

moi Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 yes, it's a random thing! Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn;t. Must be a female thing. I blame Mrs Kenyon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loz Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hmmm All rather odd. I find that: if I click on the 'Last Post' link on the index page it takes me to the foot of the thread but if I click on 'View new posts' then click on a link to a thread it takes me to the top of the thread and if I click into a specific forum then clickon a link to a thread it takes me to the top of the thread I have hunted around the configuration settings and so far can't dinf anything where you can change this.

coco Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 It happens to me as well, after my last post it sent me directly to the bottom of this page, the true bottom, not the bottom post, its all Mods doing, hes hacked the forum so we all have to view that bloody google advert at the footer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkleyblue Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I find that this gets reported a lot a work too. 99% of the time there is an error in the chair/keyboard interface - Might be a good place to start looking Mod! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 glad to hear I'm not being stupid, it does seem weird though! Like others have said, I always click 'view new posts' when I come to the forum, and in the last few days, every time I then click on a topic, old or new, t takes me to the very bottom of the page. Certainly not what it was doing a week ago, so something has gone awry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Well I wound it up for a good 20 mins this morning, so it should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I've not seen anything different, no auto scrolling here, but there must be something because visits and post counts have well dropped over the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Vbulletin anyone? :o vBulletin doesn't offer as much features as Invision does, as far as I'm concerned but I guess the licence is cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 phpBB is best, but IPB suits here better. Moi can you do me a favour to see if it happens on another style. At the bottom of the forum, you will see a dropdown menu, change that to 'winter' style and see if it still does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
