Observed Problems

Was it visible before the post?

The last post I had made previous to the problem one was fine. I just couldn't scroll down far enough to see the latest post, all I was getting was a slice with the top part of the avatar and maybe two or three lines of the post. It seems normal this morning.

When you only see a bit try increasing or decreasing the zoom on your browser using Control + or Control -.

I get that often. When I do there's a note that says "show more" or something to that effect below and to the left of the last line it shows. When I click that I'll get another screen's worth. Sometimes I have to keep doing that over and over, but most of the time it eventually jumps and shows the entire page.

It seems to be related to update speed. If I use "Ctrl" with the mouse click to open a thread in a new tab and then don't switch to that tab too soon it doesn't seem to happen. But if I get to the tab before either my computer or the host (I don't know which) is ready to show everything, then I run into it.

I'm at a loss on the "View More" thing. I've not seen it, but believe that you are. Let's see if it persists and then I'll go ask Nabble about it. Perhaps we can figure out common denominators first. So please report when you get it.

I have not seen view more either.

So please report when you get it.

Let's see if I can do this.... 3 pictures embedded, lessee if this works...

First picture is the front page of Gary's forum; notice the RH slider bar is at the very top:

When I scroll down to the bottom of the content (i.e. to the end of the list of threads) notice the RH slider bar is still pretty close to the top of what the browser considers to be the entire page:

When I scroll all the way to the bottom of what the browser considers to be the end of the page (can see that by virtue of the RH slider being at the bottom) notice the "View More" link at the LH side. Myself and a few others needed to click that View More thing in order to see "long" threads, e.g. the one about the foglight switch bezel:

As an aside, another problem since the most recent change....

At the front page, list of threads... Observed Problems is purple BUT Bill Vose had posted and the timestamp representing that was blue to tell me that. I click that blue link which would normally take me to Bill's post, it doesn't do that anymore; instead, it takes me to partially down the FIRST page, I need to scroll down to the bottom of the thread (which is still way above the View More link) and click the furthest RH page number to be taken to the last page (and to Bill's post).

In classic webapp-diagnosis fashion, I cleared my browser's cookies & cache but the erratic behavior exists.

And just like my example using Bill Vose's post, same situation with my own post.

e.g.

From the front page, list of threads... click the timestamp in the Observed Problems thread; it doesn't take me to the post I just made, it merely

1) takes me to the first page of the Observed Problems thread

2) Drops me down just below the first posting and leaves me there.

~~

Another weird thing will happen here; I will post THIS message but the browser won't take me to its location in the thread to where it was posted, I'll be someplace else (though I forget where that will be).

Yeah, it took me to the top of the first post in the thread, not to the post I had just made (on Page 7).

I think I heard Rod Serling talking and I've entered the Twilight Zone.

Chris - You did a good job of explaining and documenting, but I can't duplicate your symptoms. Chrome doesn't seem to give me View More, even on really long threads like the fog light bezel or WHYDTYTT. In both cases I can scroll to the bottom of the page w/o getting a View More. And, if I click on the timestamp for your post it takes me directly to your post.

So, is this a browser issue? Let's see who sees these issues and what browser they are using.

Thank you, Gary, more experience here than I want to admit.

The site seems to work fine on Edge, perhaps there's now a compatibility issue with Mozilla browsers.
