@Keith said:This is frustratingly unpredictable, but from time to time, when clicking a topic title on the main page, the topic will load to the post to be read, then blink out and display a post further up the page (maybe 20 or more posts away). Occasionally, it then blinks out again and redisplays the correct post, but generally it stays in the wrong place.
Bump. I've seen this, or something similar, discussed more recently, but I can't find it, and DiscoSearch found this one. So necro.
I'm still seeing this, even more frequently than I used to, and I don't see anything here to indicate it's been fixed (or even "fixed"). It's really annoying.
I also have some new information that might be relevant. It is now fairly consistently jumping backwards by ~50 posts (±~10). @Keith said it used to jump by ~20. @PJH somewhat recently increased the size of the chunk of posts that gets loaded from 20 to 50.
I think it may have something to do with a new post arriving in another topic (which happens frequently), and Dicsores updating the Suggested Topics at the same time it's trying to load the posts in the current topic. However, that is only a WAG, based in part on something that was said in the other topic I can't find.
