  • A couple of the images pasted into comments on that page are slower to load than the page itself.

    As a timeline it looks like this:

    • 0 milliseconds "Load page please!"
    • 257 milliseconds "Page loaded, need to fetch some stuff before showing you anything"
    • 676 milliseconds "Got everything from the local site, I'll jump to the post you want and will show the page"
    • 865 milliseconds "Hot damn, there's an image to load further up the page, going to have to shuffle the page down"
    • 1.03 seconds "Holy moly, another damn slow image loaded higher up the page, going to have to move the page down a bit more"

    The issue you are reporting is that people are posting images from sites that are slower than LFGSS, and that this forces your browser to make space for them after the page has loaded, which means moving the page down a little.

    At 676 milliseconds the page was perfect. Then the slow images made their way through and by 1.03 seconds had passed the #anchor no longer matched the comment it did.

    On the specific page you linked to, the slow images were:

    Those were higher up than the comment the #anchor wanted to jump to, and so the browser moved the page down.

    There is absolutely nothing I can do to fix that, unless I make the site extraordinarily aggressive (by downloading all external images as local files and modifying all image tags to include the pre-calculated height and width).

  • A couple of the images pasted into comments on that page are slower to load than the page itself.

    This also happens on the last page, where there's only that one image of the first post, which is uploaded as an attachement through LFGSS.
    Basically this happens pretty much all the time and is really annoying.

  • Did you visit the last post on the page? And then see that it wasn't lined up with the top of the screen?

    The last post may not have enough space below it to have allowed the page to scroll down far enough to align the top of the comment with the top of your screen.
