Mobile Page Scroll Issue

Postby VideoGameCritic » June 1st, 2023, 7:04 pm

I have an iphone and I use the default Safari browser. I noticed when I click on a review on the front page, or an index page, it takes me to the correct view page, but doesn't scroll down to the correct spot. The top of the review should be lined up with the top of the screen. I have to scroll a little up or down to find it. This is annoying.

Anybody else experiencing this problem? Before I start mucking with the code I'd like to know how widespread this is.

I have an Android and haven't had this issue. Maybe it's an iPhone bug?

Works fine on my Android phone. It may be an iPhone problem.

No problems on my Android. Browser maybe?

I have an iPhone and using Chrome I notice that problem as well (not sure I always hit it, but definitely hit it relatively frequently)

Thanks for the feedback so far guys!

I think it only seems to happen the first time you go to a particular page. When you go back to it later it seems to scroll down correctly.

Happens to me all the time. Typically it’s 2-3 reviews above the link to the game.

I wonder if it's a result of inserting the reader grades, which happens after the page is rendered. It's possible these are "pushing" the contents down. Maybe if I specify the space they are going to consume that will fix it.

I also have an iPhone, and I use Safari. The faulty scrolling happens every time I click on a new review. If I go back and re-click the review, it lines up correctly, though, that second time.

Great feedback guys. I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

In order to test my theory that the "Readers grades" (inserted after the page is rendered) are causing the problem, I removed the code that inserts those in. Let's see if that makes a difference. Keep in mind that due to caching the updated code may not appear right away. But let me know if you notice a difference over the next few days.

Thanks
