I have no idea if this is happening to anyone else, but a few minutes ago, I started finding pages loading and scrolling to the wrong place.

The thread watchlist was jumping to the bottom or near to it, so I saw nothing but the lower tower ad. This seems to be over now, or at least not happening as often.

Links to threads anchored to the last read post load at the last read post, but as soon as the page is fully loaded, they jump to the top.

At least once, a subforum thread list page has jumped to the bottom against my will.

I tested it in Firefox and it's working fine there.

Anybody else having this problem?

I've had to reload pages just to be able to scroll, and they stayed at the top. I don't know if it's due to computer lag and me needing to re-install my OS or not by this point.

...It's weird having so many websites and no way to properly display now, lol.

Is that happening on a desktop? I run into it a lot on mobile devices, where my workaround is to tap the anchor links for each post on down the page until I get to the end.

I've been having a lot of browser-related problems in general though, and I'm starting to think about reinstalling Windows myself.

Laptop for me.

That's something normal for Phones. They auto-go to the first post linked or the top of the page. That's not some kind of bad issue, despite being annoying. I get that on all forums as is.

I should clarify that the problem I opened the thread for is on the desktop.

The thing about this mobile problem is that it doesn't always lock to the linked anchor. In fact, it only does it about 1% of the time.

~TParadox, still an issue?

It hasn't been a problem in so long I barely remember it being a thing.

OK, locking then.
