Reading Pprune problem
Whilst reading Pprune on my IPad, after loading the main home page or subsequent threads, when I scroll down the page doesn’t move smoothly but “staggers” down or may even return to the beginning. This has only been the case in the last month or so and doesn’t happen on other bulletin boards. Any ideas what the problem may be and how I can cure it? Thanks! |
Sounds like it might be "infinite scrolling" that's giving you grief - posted on another thread: https://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/611...l#post10207696
"You can switch the "infinite scroll" off - look under User CP , Settings and Options, edit options and eventually Display Options" |
Merci Monsieur Le Pingouin it worked! |
When I read PPRuNe on my iPad sometimes I want to enlarge the text section as my eyes are not in a shape they used to be. But when I try and there is an ad on the side it will move and obscure the text. See the screenshots. Very annoying! Would it be possible to do something about it? https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....61580f461a.png https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....c72916621a.png |
Pali, I see this as well and it is one of the most infuriating things I have ever come across. Pprune admin - I will never ever buy anything advertised in this way, nor indeed do I continue reading Pprune when this happens. I simply close it down and do something else, and stop reading Pprune until I am on a different device. Nearly as irritating as adverts coming up halfway through a Youtube video. I have similarly never continued watching, nor will I ever. |
If you choose to read PPRuNe on a mobile device but in desktop mode, this will continue to happen. There is no way around it, I'm afraid.
Which is why we have the mobile skin, perfect for reading and replying to posts! Please give it a try. |

Is it possible your mobile connection is slow? I'm not seeing that issue with the mobile skin at all.
You may also try clearing your cache and PPrune cookies... or try a different mobile browser... |

The problem with the mobile skin is that it jumps around while scrolling. Scroll up a millimeter and suddenly you are a few dozens posts back. It’s almost impossible to read longer threads with it. :( Maybe this was programmed by the same guys than MCAS... |

Well, this happens with scrolling on the computer too. After opening any thread I instantly note the number of the first post on page because when I scroll it jumps randomly and if I wouldn’t notice the number I would be lost. This happens since new skin of PPRuNe was introduced and I guess it has something to do with advertising again. Maybe this was programmed by the same guys than MCAS... Either you have your desktop set to display the mobile skin (if so, go to the 3-horizontal line menu at the top left and select VIEW DESKTOP) or You have "infinite scroll" turned on -- to turn that off, go to user cp, edit options, disable infinite scroll, and SAVE. |

No, I get this even on very fast connections. Same on iPhone or iPad. At least on iPad Desktop Mode is quite usable. I have Infinite Scrolling off.
My last bit of advice is to wait until the whole page loads before trying to scroll. |
On my tablet I get a sudden jump a couple of seconds after opening a new page - I have to force myself to wait as it's easy to hit the wrong thread when you open up PPrune
never happens on the laptop or desktop................... |

I'm out of ideas, I'm sorry to say. I do not have widespread reports of the jumping with the mobile skin, but it sure sounds like it is taking too long to load the page elements and that's what's causing it.
