A question about : I cannot scroll up or down in discussions
If I click on a link to take me to a specific forum and then click on a link to a specific topic I have no difficulty scrolling up or down on that page, but if I click on a direct link in an email to a thread I find that I cannot scroll up or down on that page, the exact same problem occurs when I click on a forum topic link on the right hand side of the forum main page, when I joined the forum I did not have this problem, but now in the past day it has become very frustrating.
Best answers:
- Fine here on latest Firefox and Chrome.
May be helpful for the techie team to know what browser and version you are using. - I am using Windows 8.1 with a keyboard & mouse not a touch screen and Internet Explorer 11
This is the only forum that I have had this problem with and it was okay until a couple of days ago. - Sounds like you're clicking on a link to a direct post, rather than to an actual thread.
- Yes I was, but I should be able to scroll up or down to see other posts in that thread when I do so, I was able to do so up until a couple of days ago.
- No, if you only load a post you can only view that post. You need to use a link to the thread to be able to view the other posts in it.
- Okay maybe I am not explaining this properly, if you log in to MSE and go to 'Forum' you see a list of all the different forums on the left hand side, on the right hand side you see a list of the most current discussion for each of those forums, if I click on one of right hand links I find myself on a page where I can view only one of the posts, I can just about see that there are other posts on the page but I cannot scroll up or down to read them, and I am experiencing the same problem when I click on a link in an e-mail for an alert on new posts for a thread, previously it was possible to do this, now it is not possible, and being a member of various other forums I can also do this, so something has changed from a couple of days ago, I have not updated my computer between then and now so the problem appears to lie with MSE.
Incidentally if the thread has multiple pages I can click below and move to another page and hey presto I can scroll up and down again, unless I return to the page that I landed on. - Seem to recall someone saying something similar A while back either her or on the techie board?
- --> Trouble scrolling?
Sounds the same, and I obviously recall it as I replied.
Common factor IE11? I know that does often not play well with forums running older versions of vBulltin as we have here. - Well what ever the cause of the problem was it has now gone and I can scroll properly again.
- I tried in IE11 in Windows 10 preview earlier, and had no problem either.
Hopefully it's just a one time glitch then.
