annoying occurance in showthread...

[The Wise One]

greetings

whenever someone makes a new post, hits the submit button, and showthread is thus loaded everything is fine...but if the user tries to scroll up, after about 5 seconds or so, the page snaps back to the new submitted post. this also happens when a link is followed by clicking the "go to latest post" link from forum display (where it lists all the threads). it has been happening ever since we upgraded from vb2 to vb3 gold 3.0.0

alot of users have posted about this and complained. it never happened when the site was running on vb2...only after we upgraded to vb3.

any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

This happens when they have not waited for the page to fully load. There's not really anything you caan do about it except to tell themm to wait until the page loads, or click on the 'stop' button.

just seems like 5 seconds is an aweful long time...been trying to look at what would cause a long load...ads load quick, nothing in the posts that i would suspect to cause that...i did add the showthread toolbar to the bottom of the last post shown...but i removed that thinking it was the cause...but it still did it. o wells. guess ill just have to dig a bit deeper to try and find out what is causing the slow page loads.

thanks for your time

i dug a little deeper and found a thread at our forums where a user has an image in his sig that takes quite a bit of time to load...but after it was done...the page snapped to the post. i can accept the fact that this happens "by design" so to speak...but this never happened when our boards ran on vb2. what changed to make it happen this way? is it reversible?

I don't know why this would be any different than in vB2. Perhaps one of the Developers can answer this.

any luck with this? I am getting the snap to bottom of screen as well members are complaingin, big time

[The Wise One]

nope...nothing

i did find this in the postbit:

<td class="thead" $scrolltothis>

removal of the $scrolltothis stopped the snapping problem but i get an error and following a link like this:

http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?p=2928553#post2928553

no longer functions.

also...members who use firefox are complaining that they cant follow links posted in a thread until the page completely loads. this stuff was never an issue with vb2 boards. i belong to several vb2 boards currently and dont experience such issues...

Hello Wise One:

Yea, its cause of those dang anchors in vb3. I just cant figure out a way to totally remove them. In vb2, it never did this. A bunch of my users got so sick of it, that they, basically, stopped reading and posting in the forum....its that annoying!
