So ... apparently I wasn't here when the term was invented, or it was invented in one of the many, many, many threads I don't have time to read.
WHAT does "jelly potatoe" (and all of its various spellings) MEAN?! o_0

Based on context...my guess is:
Something is so stupid there are no other words to describe the extent of the stupidity.
Did I get it right? What do I win?

It's when the page bounces up and down while you're trying to read it. These days I think the most obvious example is when you click a notification that takes you into a picture-heavy topic and your viewport moves as the images load.

Random teleportation
Used to refer to a bug that caused random scrolling when opening user information. Now gets used whenever stuff moves around unexpectedly.

@sloosecannon nope, that's not weird at all. That's a known bug in the mentions plugin.
... which apparently hasn't been entered into the bug tracker yet. Here you go:
mentions replaced inside links · Issue #71 · julianlam/nodebb-plugin-mentions
Steps to reproduce: make a topic with a mention before the end of its title reply to the topic, quoting the first post the link to the topic is cut off by the mention's nested link

What if we stop using broken software and being really nice to developers in hope they fix their crap, and look for something that works out of the box.

Silly fbmac ... software doesn't come in boxes any more. You're showing your age :P

that's because there was so much else driving you crazy in discourse that this one never got any significant wheel time.

.Hm. I was in some topic yesterday (one with 12k posts... Guacamole maybe?) and it wouldn't let me scroll to the end. I'd scroll down, which would cause new posts to load, which included a bunch of movies, and unloaded a bunch of posts from earlier. This had the effect of scrolling me back up the page far enough to start unloading the videos at the bottom and reloading the post from above.

The only way to scroll to the end was the end-of-thread button.

I''ve had that happen frequently (using End). I found clicking to a different tab, then back, seems to clear it up...

@BaconBits yeah, embeds really fuck with it.
I wonder, since you can't really precalculate the height of those many times, maybe we should just collapse them into links,

It's your own fault for leaving page mode turned off. Infiniscroll is for squids.

Not just blame the user, but blame the user for the default setting!
