Title: Weird glitchy thingy!
Post by: Scott McLamok on January 14, 2021, 08:31:43 PM
Lately I've noticed that whenever I click on a topic then go back to my unread it removes some of the other topics. It doesn't really harm me but its very annoying and inconvenient. No idea what wrong but I just wanted to let y'all know.

I've noticed that too. And also sometimes it not going to the earliest unread post on a topic.

I'll look into it, but it sounds like it might be a Simple Machines software issue rather than any settings we have control over.

Actually, yes. When I click on the new button thingy, often the topic right under that will mark itself as read too.

Upon investigation, this is a documented error that is apparently at large in recent browsers, especially Chromium-based ones (such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge). Someone mentioned a possible fix, and we intend to implement it shortly; let us know if the problem persists.

I haven't been experiencing this recently sooo...Anyone getting this problem still?

Don't think so? I've been opening new tabs, though, to get around it.

This goes under 'weird glitchy thingy'!

I seem to have an ongoing issue with the scrollbar suddenly vanishing on and off. It's not just me as (name drop) Kade has also noticed it. Guessing it is exactly a glitch. Anything can be done?

I can confirm that this does happen to me as well.  It happens after the page has loaded too, which is odd.  Like, the page'll load, I'll grab the scroll bar to scroll down the page, and then as I'm scrolling it'll just vanish. 

Well, it may be that the page hasn't finished loading before I start scrolling, and upon loading completely the scroll bar disappears, but either way it still goes bye bye.

I'll start checking into it, thanks for letting us know. What browser are y'all using?
Title: Re: Weird glitchy thingy!
Post by: Kade Rivok on June 14, 2021, 05:43:33 PM
I use chrome.

Can you try Edge or Firefox? I have Firefox and have no issues.

I can confirm that Chrome works perfectly fine. @Kade Rivok @MeadowR  Does the problem go away after the assumed load time is complete, or does the problem persist? How often does this event occur? What are your download speeds?

For me at least, the scroll bar vanishes after the page seems to have loaded, then reappears a few seconds later.  Just ran a check and I have 28.6 down at the moment.  Below is a vid (with audio) of what it looks like on my end.  I would also like to note that this just started recently, it wasn't an ongoing issue previously.

Basically what Kade said!

I've opened up this forum in Firefox instead for the moment, per instruction. :)

Thank you! Did you still experience the problem?
Title: Re: Weird glitchy thingy!
Post by: MeadowR on June 15, 2021, 02:57:55 PM
No issues on Firefox. :)

Can you still use your mouse scroll wheel while this is happening? Also, do you have/what extensions do you have for Chrome? Does this problem occur anywhere else? (As far as I've seen, I have no current reason to believe it's a forum issue)

I haven't seen it occur on any other sites.  Scroll wheel still works.  As for extensions, I had Avast Price Check, but removed that because it annoyed me.  I also have Netflix Teleparty, Adblock, and Ground News - Bias Checker.  That's pretty much it.
