Infinite Scroll Feedback Thread
#21
If you've disabled the 3rd party extensions/software and still have the issue, please provide the browser and browser version so that further testing and review can be done. When testing on Chrome, IE and Firefox (without extensions), the jump menu works correctly for me so it's not obvious as to what the issue is.

In a nutshell, the "Forum Jump" facility behaves differently under Infinite Scroll.
With infinite scroll disabled, clicking the "Go" button returns you to the Index page of whichever forum you are in (in this case the Help Forum).
When Infinite Scroll is enabled, selecting the Help Forum does nothing if you're already in the Help Forum.
It's no longer an issue for me, as I figured out other ways to get back to the forum index after I'm done reading a thread.

An Audi Forum I hang out at switched to this format several months ago, so this was an easy transition for me.

No, when you begin to scroll that header menu appears. You do not need to scroll all the way back up. If it's not working then, again, you need to make sure you're not using 3rd party extensions/software that alter the appearance/functionality of the site.

Got it! I was used to seeing the "pathway" like it appears at the top of page, and completely missed the Go button. All is well again. Thanks!

I like the new feature, generally, but have noticed odd behavior on iPad. When I visit a subscribed thread and click "first unread" it correctly jumps to the right post. But if I decide to scroll slightly up to see the context of what came before that most recent post, the forum jumps WAY back in the thread.
also, when trying to get back to the top of the screen (tapping a blacpnkmarea at the top browser window) the forum seems to fight it, by forcing me back into a thread posting farther down.

This is another thumb's-up for the ability to disable infinite scroll. Keep it around if you like as long as you give user's the choice to turn it off. The thing steals precious screen space and generally is annoying.

Thank God for Ublock Origin. I'm able to filter out and delete all these annoying bars that pop up at the top and bottom of my screen now on the forum. Good grief it's like someone set out with a goal of making it annoying as possible to surf the forum.

Otherwise, your suggestion is excellent.

Edit: I think that disabling the infinite scroll stopped this feature. DIdn't realize they were one in the same.--Bob

I know people resist change- and this group of curmudgeons more than most. But this infinite scroll- while good in theory- fails miserably in practice.
Trying to get back to the top of the page is a PIA and the forum title may/may not appear. Scrolling through a previous page using the arrows/previous/next buttons is an.n exercise in futility.
I understand IB probably wants a new look and more space for ad revenue- that wide banner about someb woman Id never heard of leaving GMA- not only in the way but tone deaf frankly for the user demographic.
some fine tuning would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Now when you get to the end of a thread, there's no option at the bottom to go back to the forum. Like several have said already, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! You messed with it until you got it all wrong. I disabled the infinite scrolling too - that SUCKED! Reminds me of what happens when a very successful company gets new owners. They go ahead & start "improving" things. I've seen it SO many times.

For those who turn it off, there is a plan to have some navigation/breadcrumb installed.

Thank you I came to ask the same question. You know how long it takes to load all pictures with infinite scroll? Whomever thought that was a good idea must be one of those people that say "Hold my Beer, watch this" and then the epic fail happens. SMH
