This 3 Post limit in La Cava is total BS!

I am sorry @David to tag you. The latest update has replies posting to the bottom of a thread (as always) but jumps the user’s view all the way to the bottom with their post. In other words, if you reply to post #8 you then can be brought down to #200. You then have to scroll all the way up to read everything you missed. Is that a setting that can be adjusted either individually or by default in the software? I don’t know if it it an issue for all users, Apple users, or mobile users but there have been posts about this the last few days. Thanks

I’ve found that reply jump occurrence annoying too - I even looked it up over on discourse.org.

There’s a really long saga of a post discussing the merits of being able to turn that jump off. It seems like the coder is going to implement a per-reply option where you could do something like hold Shift key down when hitting reply, but that ain’t going to help mobile users.

Nope- it will not help me. I cannot use my laptop (work) for the forum. I am an iPad / iPhone user.

Thanks to JJT for the research and link. Offering your input to the Discourse discussion that JJT mentioned may be your best bet.

Having just read the first 20 or so posts in that thread, they are absolutely against not losing your place. They want users to read every single post in a thread and only respond at the end, and actually very bluntly tell a user that if they want to be able to keep their place in a thread, they suggest not using that site/forum (I’m not clear exactly what it is) anymore and going somewhere else. They describe this as preventing bad behaviour.

I’d like to think we are a bit friendlier over here!

Yeah, the warning I just got for responding to @bethro23 about her son said I was not including everyone in the conversation. I think it is a disconnect regarding how the forum software was created (intended use) and what makes the forum work (actual use- thankfully) especially some areas (LaCava) and maybe some crazy someone planning threads?

I am sorry for being a pain but when I purchase software or systems I expect the developers to work with me to customize their product to meet my needs. That is not a consideration or request by Touring Plans?

Edited to add I see it would be a custom feature?
