Scrolling... I have invented a new game!
-
Take a topic with many unread messages (I've got the bones ones right now -- I'm not sure if you need a lot of unread, or a thread that was totally unread when starting?), start from top.
Press "End" (or click the small double down arrow next to the number of posts, for those that think using the keyboard is ), see how far you actually end up.
Repeat and count how many time you need to go to the "end" before you actually get to the end of the thread.
I currently seem to be doing about 10 posts/click:
I'm assuming that skipping to the end of a thread must be and that is telling me to pay more attention and read everything. That, or it's a bug. I don't know.
Oh, and the last post of the thread is always at the bottom of the page, even when I'm not yet at the end of the thread:
boomzilla's is 351/410, PJH's is 410/410 and thus go away from me every time I try to read it.Will I ever know what insightful knowledge he's sharing with us on peanuts allergy warnings?

Anything that's streamed in while you've been reading will come in at the bottom even if you have hundreds of posts still to read. I get this when NodeBB decides I need fake paging instead of infiniscroll i.e. when you reach the bottom you need to refresh or click a post's timestamp to load the next page

I had something similar with the same shitty topic ... click on the "end" button ... see the last post screen into view ... click the watching button at the bottom ... see the ignore option is below the page end ... scroll down to click it ...
get back up ... click end again ... repeat until you actually manage to click the ignore topic option

@Jaloopa Yeah but the weird thing here is that it looks like I have e.g. posts 1-10 and post 410 loaded, instead of something vaguely logical like never see post 410 until I actually get there...
So when I scroll down I see for example posts 8-9-10-410. And then I scroll down a little bit more, which triggers ( ?) the load of more posts and now I have posts 1-20 + 410 loaded, with some putting me somewhere around post 10 (plus/minus some random number, and that's where pictures are messing up), but I still have post 410 loaded, just below post 20, so when I get there I can see it going away everytime I scroll a bit more.
It's like is taunting me... You know, like:
it's a nice post, come and read it...
OK, let's scroll down...
Nope, it's gone! I'm joking, come now...
... let's try again...
No! Haha... OK, that was funny twice, I'm stopping now.
: I want it... I want it...
Oh no it's gone away again!

@remi
Yeah, that is an annoying bug.
-
This always happens for me. It's why I hate going back upthread in Mafia. What I've found to work is to click end (once), then refresh the page.
-
Another alternative workaround is to go back to the /unread page (or /recent, or the category page, or any topic list that shows your topic), and then click on the link to the last post that shows on the right. Doesn't really do much for actually reading along the way, but...
-
Works fine for me, but I have paging enabled. It takes me straight to the end of the thread.

Clicking takes me to the end of the thread.
I have pagination enabled, if that makes a difference.

I clicked on and nodeBB punished me corporally. When I clicked on , nodeBB merely touched my privates.

I thing you got that backwards, encourages you to touch it many times, for the giggles.
