Physics forums - scrolls right to the bottom of the page

  • Thread starter spacecadet11

In summary, the person was having an issue with the physics forums website automatically scrolling to the bottom of the page. They were advised to try using a different computer or browser, but the issue persisted. It was later discovered that the issue was caused by the default link they were using, which directed them to a specific page on the website. When they used the main website link, the issue was resolved.

Hello. When I first go to the physics forums web site...the site or the computer by default
scrolls right to the bottom of the page.

Is there a way I can prevent this?

Thx

Sure, use another computer :wink:

Seriously - no idea what is happening, but you are the first person ever to report this type of problem, so I bet it must be somehow related to your configuration/software installed/browser/OS combination.

Can you try another browser?

Does the URL have a hashtag in it?

No. I looked on the address line.

Does it happen only at PF?

If I accidentally hit the scroll wheel in the middle of my mouse, the page will scroll down to the bottom without stopping unless I hit the wheel again. I don't know if this is causing your problem as I don't know why you would only do this when you come to PF. Just so happens I only accidentally do it on PF.

I fixed it. By default the link I was using was by default sending me to a certain page in physics forums defaulted
to the bottom of the page.

I am using another link ..basically physicsforums.com and it is sending me to the main page..defaulted to the top.

Good
Bye
