Many Locked Threads, Pages Jumping all Over the Place, Hard on the Eyes.. It's not fun anymore..

ciao_bella — Fri, 03 Jul 2015 12:55:13 GMT

I noticed this morning the mods locked down about 6 threads back-to-back...which probably needed to be locked for spam, but many other threads have been locked for mere opinions that differed from the mods.

On top of that, the pages are still jumping to the top of the page every time you read a post and hit the back arrow. In addition, the glare of the white space is so hard on the eyes.

It's just not a fun place any longer.

I haven't noticed that, ciao_bella.

Hasn't happened for me.

While I don't disagree, the 6 today were from the same person trying to keep the friction going. Amazingly it's ok to post on more than one board.

I don't like the page jumping much either, I hope that's fixable.

I am having a hard time getting used to this format. What I would like is the old way of getting my posts to see the responses. I am not getting to them easily. Must be me but I prefer the old way with the activity label.

Personally there were lots of complaints about harsh comments and people PLAYING US in nasty ways. I am glad they are taking a harder look at it.

Many forums are monitored these days and the REVIEWS are monitored. I guess they have a financial stake in how it all comes down when it comes down to opinion about products.

Well, it happens for me, constantly. I just want to jump thru the screen and hold those pages still! It's just awful-makes me not want to even come here anymore.

I use Safari and I've never experienced the page jumping. Is that typical for certain browsers? I sure hope it doesn't start on Safari! I'm not on these boards nearly as much as I used to be these day. It will be even less if I have to endure jumping pages! (Oh, and I noticed those multiple, lengthy threads this morning. Figured they wouldn't last long).

Is anyone else still experiencing problems with the "shop by category" dropdown menu interferring with the left navigation bar (with all the different sub-fora are listed)?

It doesn't happen all the time but often enough to be an issue for me. The menu drops down without being promted and just stays there-I have to refresh to make it go away.

Just me?

It happens to me a LOT...and it's very annoying!!!

The "jumping page" is beyond annoying. I use FF and I don't think I should have to change from FF to have this site work the way it should. I don't have "jumping page" issues on any other site.

They really need to some fine tuning here.

As far as the spamming....I wish they would leave it there so others here can see what the "LV" site is saying about posters here. I hope they never return....it's been very peaceful here since they left. It's interesting to see what the problem really was.

I became aware of the jumping page when I was reading a thread, responding to it...and my reply landed somehow in the thread adjoining it. I use Firefox. I have had the problem with the drop down menu, too. Not biggies, but one would think more of the glitches would be gone by now.

I saw the "psst" thread early this morning, yuck.

Previously, before they did something 2 weeks ago, my screen jumped with whatever browser I used. They did something (?) that fixed it for me at least and I haven't had any jumping since.

I don't stay on the forums long enough to tell idf the pages are jumping. I hate this new format.

However on Facebook I am having trouble with things jumping around. Some people think it is FB, but I don't know. I use Chrome.

I still do NOT like this, limits my time on here, since I get so frustrated.

I have to wait until the page settles.....

It happens to me too and it's been happening for a while now. I used to refresh the page but now I just click anywhere in the gray area and it goes away. It's not a huge deal, but it does get annoying!

I have the same issues as the OP. All the jumping gives me a terrible headache and the back button taking me to the top of the last page I was on is a real pain in the you know what!

Friction ? Perhaps you should explain to us, what I bolded in your post. Apparently many of us missed it. Thank you.

The iPad runs on Safari. It looked like the jumping page was fixed finally but it's doing it again. Annoying:/

Twice now, someone has copy and pasted a bunch of posts from the other board. While they were not very nice posts, posting them here isn't either. There's no reason to bring them here. I don't care if someone is talking about me some where else to be honest. One would be very naive to think no one does. That's their admin's problem let her take care of it.

Yes, the Shop by Category is the culprit. If you somehow touch that link with your mouse, the board categories get covered by the grey list of shopping categories. Make sure your mouse does not touch that link, and you'll be good.

As far as the jumping, I discovered you have to sit patiently for a few seconds until it settles down, and then you can continue doing what you want to do. Annoying but that's the only way it seems to work for me. My impatience gets the best of me!

If that happens, go up and click on the little down arrow next to "Shop by Category" then move your mouse off of it. When you do that, the drop down will close.
