[Bug] Viewing a threadmark from the list at the top results in the site scrolling back to the list at least once.

[Have a Little Feith]

Pretty sure this is unintended behaviour. Basically, if you click a threadmark link from the list in the dropdown menu, you can scroll for a bit to read it, but it'll scroll back to the top of the thread to the threadmark list at least once if you do so. This is a very frustrating behaviour for the site to have, because I generally only click on threadmarks I actually want to read. In this case, I have to click on the threadmark twice, once for the initial reading portion, then again and have to scroll to find where I was.

I'm not sure if this is limited to mobile, or if the Desktop site has the same behaviour, but I'd like to petition to have that part of the site code commented out or simply just deleted, so it doesn't happen again.

I'm not sure what you mean.

So, by 'dropdown menu', I assume you mean this:

Then you click one of the threadmarks, taking you to a chapter:

You read it, but at some point, either while reading or scrolling down the discussion below, you are forcefully bounced back to the top of the thread.

Is that accurate?

I have the same thing happen on any phone I try any of QQ, SB, or SV. I can normally get about 4 to 5 minutes before it will randomlly shot to the top at max speed.

I'm always on my iPhone, and I don't think I've ever encountered that. I'm not sure I ever really use the dropdown menu though.

Not very tech-minded, so can't really help. Maybe @alethiophile or @ultima333 have an idea of what's up with that, or other technically inclined users.

Question for the people this is happening to: do you have signatures turned off/are you browsing with your phone in portrait mode?

Only things that are different from bog standard is font size and color scheme. And the issue is totally random if it happens or not most days.
