Page Jumping?

It’s looking and behaving a lot better today.

The “back” icon that shows on the Right side of the thread with the scrolling bar–why does this exist? How many people want to jump back to where they started reading that day? I didn’t use to have this, but it suddenly appeared at one of the updates. Since it hasn’t gone away (and drives me crazy, because I have to figure out where I was and re-scroll to continue reading), I thought I’d ask. I didn’t read this whole thread, so my apologies if there’s a quick fix of which I’m unaware. ETA: I’m on a laptop.

I never had this issue before the newest update - but it’s making the forum unusable. After a minute or two of reading suddenly the page jumps backwards. I’m on Chrome.

We’re looking into reports of this behavior getting worse. I’ll update this thread when I know more.

It’s been worse for me too.

Anyone reading when suddenly the whole page reloads? On an IPad 8. This happens often and especially with longer threads

@CC_Mike

Yep. That’s happening to me too, on my laptop.

Will try to replicate on my end…

I usually read CC on a Chromebook with an ad blocker (that probably won’t go over too well with CC!).

I have NO problems with page jumping, probably because I don’t see any ads.

For some reason, my office-provided computer does not have ad-blocking. When I have to do internet-based research on it, it is just stunning to me how many ads are on so many websites.

Happened to me as I’m reading this thread! Came in here to post frustration as well. Thanks for looking into this Mike.

Same here. Only it seems for me the page suddenly jumps “back” to where I started reading in the current session. It’s so annoying. It would be grand to see a fix for this. I’m on a laptop, Chrome.

The jumping back has been happening a lot. It drives me nuts. Please fix it. Would going back to having pages help. I really miss having pages.

It seems there haven’t been many posts on this recently, but it is still driving me crazy. I am on a PC and this has happened using both Chrome and Firefox. With the other thing, where all the icons come up, it is annoying but easy to fix. But with this jumping around, it is really a pain having to scroll down manually and search for what I was reading before the “jump,” and I find I am just giving up.

Agree, happens to my iphone, all along, at least since summer. Jumping “back” reloading in midst of reading.

Yes, pages were better than odd scrolling and jumping “ back” and random reloading.

Agreed The jumping is awful.

Also…pages completely reloading in the middle of reading a thread…on an IPad 8. @CC_Mike

I’m experiencing that too.

New thing today, when I get done with a thread and click to go back, instead of taking me to where I was in the Latest list, it first takes me back to where I started on the thread. Another click to go back takes to the top of the Latest list, then I have to scroll down to where I was there.
