AI Thread Summary
A user reported that the Physics Forums website automatically scrolled to the bottom of the page upon visiting. After troubleshooting, it was determined that the issue stemmed from a specific link that directed them to a page defaulting to the bottom. By switching to the main URL, physicsforums.com, the user resolved the problem and could access the site normally. Other users suggested checking browser settings and configurations, but ultimately the issue was linked to the original URL. The discussion concluded with the user confirming the fix.

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
SC

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
