Too bad. However things are programmed it makes the threads much less enjoyable to read as a user. This forum is the literally the only one I frequent that has this sort of “issue” on iPad. That said, I have never complained since I have not been a paying member. However, each time I consider becoming paying member I do think about the feature mentioned in this post and take a pass since reading posts and periodically contributing is where I get the most value.

if you're on an iPad, I am not sure why you would not choose the desktop style, where you can disable infinite scroll?

Thank you for the suggestion, I will give it a shot.

Well if you guys aren’t going to allow us to disable it, at least fix it so it works as intended. It’s broken. Scrolling up slowly from page 20 of a thread shouldn’t gap me back to page 17, and trying to scroll back down to page 19 shouldn’t teleport me to some random next thread.

Rennlist me annoyed enough that I have a mind to try and patch it myself.

if you are able to share a screen recording of that occurring, i will absolutely send it up the chain, as that is not how it should behave.

Screen recording

@Robb M. As requested

P.S. - I’d encourage you to slow this video way down and / or pause it frequently to better view the page numbers, thread titles, and how they change unexpectedly.

Yep that's wonky. To narrate that a bit to maybe save someone the sleuthing of looking at it frame by frame:

- Post #2401 is the displayed "last post" of the thread upon entry using the latest post button
- Scrolling up goes back by one page three times, to page 158/161, or post #2356
- Scrolling down gets you only to 2370 (bottom of page 158 per a 15-post-per-page setting) before it slings you to a related thread

The thread in question is: https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1466...-dust-147.html

Robb, methinks this has to do with indexing problems due to the sheer number of deleted posts from that thread.

I’m having the same issues on mobile with pages skipping up or down as I scroll, getting to be borderline unusable.

as a stopgap until this is sorted, your phone browser should have a "view desktop version" mode you can enable for Rennlist. this will allow you to use the desktop settings, at the cost of not being a responsive/mobile-first design.

Unfortunately, using the desktop version of Rennlist on a small phone screen isn't an acceptable solution either. To repeat what many including myself have requested in this thread: We want the option to disable the infinite scroll on mobile - just like we already have on desktop. Apparently this option is strongly disliked by the forum Administrators, for reasons that are mysterious to the membership here.

I’m having this exact same issue, every time I browse a thread, it skips and jumps backwards several pages, and sometimes to a completely different thread. On iPhone. Very frustrating indeed.

So the ultimate decision on this was to just ignore it then eh? Shameful. Makes the Mobile experience pointless any time you’re on a heavy photo long thread

Same issue here, driving me nuts! Seems to be triggered when scrolling over a “phantom” page break due to infinite scroll. Generally takes me back a page or two.

Unfortunately, fixing this broken and bugged feature has fallen on deaf ears. They aren’t going to do anything about it.

Chasing a bug down on a third party piece of software is generally not a fast process, I'm afraid.

I'd be louder about this if I used mobile at all, but... I've yet to use a forum that has a mobile experience that didn't make me want to gouge my eyes out, so desktops it is for me.
