Discussion threads hidden/lost?

[MacGruber]

There is this old thread I wanted to push again now that the Hub is live:

What is this Virt-a-Mate / VaM thing?

I think this page should have an obvious link/page somewhere explaining in a few sentences what VaM is and where you get it. Ideally also explaining the different tiers, etc. Currently, if you are a new user, you will have NO idea what this is about. If there is such a thing already, I did not...

hub.virtamate.com

However, I noticed the thread is not visible in the "Hub Feedback" section. I think there are page 1,2,3... buttons missing.

I can see it in the Feedback Overview:

This is how it looks for me, there appear to be quite some threads missing.
I'm just using plain Chrome in incognito mode, no fancy plugins/extensions.

@MacGruber Do you have javascript disabled? I have an addon installed that does endless scroll auto-paging instead of fixed pages.

 

[meshedvr]

Actually I see that is not the case because then you would only see 6 threads. I'll poke around

I can't seem to replicate. It just looks like the autoscroll pager failed to page in more content for you. Could you try a different browser just to see?

I tried with Firefox and it worked...once. When I tried again, it didn't work anymore, despite clearing cookies, cache and everything. Something rather weird is going on. Tried also Chrome without Ingonito mode just in case it did block anything, doesn't work either. For some reason Chrome on my Android tablet displays things correctly, though.

Are you familiar with Chrome DevTools? If you hit Ctrl-Shift-I it will bring these up. Then click the Network tab. Reload this page: https://hub.virtamate.com/forums/hub-feedback.26/ As you start scrolling down, you should see queries like page-2?..., page-3?...

Do you see any errors in the console?

I think we are getting closer. It seems to have something to do with the size of the browser window, probably the height. I'm running on a 21:9 monitor with 3440x1440 resolution, my browser is usually docked to use half the screen (drag against left or right screen border), so the actual display size inside the browser without all toolbars and stuff is 1718x1287. There is no scrollbar displayed. If the size is just a few pixels less in height a scrollbar appears and everything works! Confirmed the same is happening with Firefox.

I think you need to find a way to enforce a scrollbar being there. Maybe make sure the page size is always a bit bigger than the window size.

Thanks for the debug! I think I should be able to fix.

I was able to replicate by simulating a higher resolution monitor on my main monitor. With this, I should have no trouble fixing.
