Thread: Page Anchors

Can we remove the double redundant page anchors? It needs to anchor only once, not twice. Tired of loading a thread and scrolling up or down most of the way I want to go only to be dragged right back to where I started.

+1, been wanting this for a while just didn't know what it was.

theres a thread on this somewhere...

long story short, you click on a link that targets a post, anchor is called when that posts loads. The farther down the page it loads, the longer it takes the page to take you to the anchor.

Not much we can do about it, its partially the div structure (instead of using tables), and partially all the crap we have inbetween.


Im not a CSS guru, but if there was a way to load threads first while maintaining the site layout structure, could be a potential fix.


Though its ultimately all the crap and bloat we have on the pages.




When i get the time, ill move TPG to dedicated cluster which will radically improve page loading speed. Which should solve your problem. Unless you have a crappy connection, which case your really boned

That doesn't make sense. What you explain says there is only one anchor, but the page behavior I see determines two. The page will start loading, go to the anchor when the post loads, I start scrolling before the page "completes loading", and get sent to the anchor again when it "completes".

Sigh, take my word on it. Theres no 'double anchors', what your seeing as the 'first anchor' before loading, is merely the browser focusing on the anchor prior to the page structure finalizing, then the content loads shifting the content. When the page finishes loading, your BROWSER checks the scroll focus again, sees its not on the anchor (because you've scrolled off) and refocuses.

Then fix my browser!

Easy fix.... load the entire page structure with placeholder content, then the last step is to replace the content with a small script or something.... ok maybe not so easy, and it would quickly turn into a mess....
