Mobile site: page loading annoyance

[AussieAndroid]

I really like the look of the mobile site, so much so it is the only site I frequent where I am happy to keep using the mobile site instead of viewing it in desktop mode on my phone.

However, every time I'm browsing the forums (I'm only ever in a specific phone's sub forum) and the page starts loading, if i scroll down too early, once the page finishes loading, it flicks me back to the top of the page again.

I've been putting up with it but I'm finding it really is annoying me more and more now. It's very disorienting trying to keep track of where you are on the forum page. It's also very annoying because you generally have a lot of rubbish at the top of the page that you have to scroll past to get to the new threads underneath.

It's not a major problem I know, but every time I use your mobile site I am coming away ticked off and it's gotten to the point I don't check it as much when I'm on my phone.

Thanks for the note on this! Are you using the desktop site, the AC App, or the AC Forums app?

I'm opening the site in chrome on my HTC One. Happens using the stock browser too and also in chrome on my nexus 7 and 4.

I refuse to use an app just to visit one site

I'm going to loop our Mod Team Leader in here, because I know he has an HTC One... will see if he can recreate the problem on his end, and if so, we can troubleshoot/fix!

AussieAndroid & James,

I really didn't notice it with Chrome using the Default Mobile Setting, but when I tried the stock HTC browser w/ Default Mobile Setting I was able to recreate the issue.

Example going into a big sub forum like HTC One or Samsung S3 forums and if you scroll down before the page stops loading once it completes the entire page load it brings you back to the top of the page.

I can see where its aggravating if you have begun scrolling down before its finished loading.

Thank you! Going to point tech to this thread and have them take a look.

No problem James.

I'm guessing its a bigger issue from a slow loading mobile data connection in the larger sub forums. On WIFI its hard to recreate because the page load is relatively fast.

FWIW, I got the same results on my N7.
