  Much appreciated fix, thank you – also, thank you for the (unannounced?) fix of the massive second avatar pictures!

  Personally, I don’t get/understand the demand for dark mode

    The 2nd Avatar issue was never a ‘thing’ – it was simply your device not clearing cache. You could have stopped it any point by doing that.

      I guess I should thank me then! 😁

    Dark mode means I’m not shining a flashlight (my mobile screen) into the room at 11pm reading HFP when my partner is sleeping.

  Does anyone else have the Google Chrome issue, where you click on the comments (on the left hand side at the top of the article), and the page just scrolls “half a screen” down), rather than taking you down to the comments?

  Or is that just me? :/

    (I’m referring to this happening on a desktop – not on mobile)

    Andy, for me on the latest Chrome it pauses halfway down, then “finds” the comments section and scrolls the rest of the way. This is likely because the comments haven’t finished loading. Try to wait a little. If it doesn’t resume, you may be zoomed in/out on the page (some browsers have trouble with that).

      Cheers – the page has definitely finished loaded (and is @ 100% size)

      I’ve found out if I click the link 3 times, it eventually gets there

      (ie. click once, it scrolls a little bit… click it again, it’ll scroll a bit more, and then click it one final time and it eventually reaches the comments) – bizarre!

  Thanks Rob and Rhys, the fix actually works!
  Now if you could share the logic with BBC News I’d be very grateful… the latest version of their app does exactly the same with images, I’m constantly opening them when all I’m trying to do is scroll down the story!

  This is exactly why I turn off ad blocks for this website..

  Thank you Rob, things like this really go a long way. I do try click all the ads too to show my support 😂

  • Rob says:

    There’s no point doing that. Google limits the number of clicks per user that are paid, to avoid abuse. I doubt it is more than one every few months.

    I have three websites on which uBlock and adblock are disabled – HFP is one of them. Clicking the ads though is a step too far for me – that’s when the bots get you! 😀

  Having had a chance to read through some comments at lunch and now, it really has worked. Thank you very much!
