Fix regarding the project loading and comments

-ShadowOfTheFuture-

Whenever the project page finishes loading, there's usually a gap between the time when the page stops loading and the project assets start loading. During that gap, you can scroll around wherever you want. However, when the project starts loading, the page will instantly bring you back up to the top, so you can see the (loading assets) bar and know when the project's begun loading.

Seems fine, right?

There's one problem: comments.

Whenever I get a message saying, “(USERNAME) commented on your project (PROJECT)”, it provides a link that, when clicked will bring you directly to the comment. Meaning, when you click the link, it will bring you to the project page and then automatically scroll you down to where the comment is, so you can view it or reply to it.

However, more often than not, this process happens in the gap of time between the page loading ending and the project loading starting. So when the project starts loading, you'll be brought back up to the top of the page, and if you want to view/reply to the comment, you now have to scroll all the way back down…

This isn't a problem for projects with only 1 or 2 comments, but what about projects with hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of comments? The creator of the project might have to scroll through hundreds and hundreds of comments just to reach the desired comment, especially if it's a reply to a comment that's really old.

I think something about this needs to be fixed. Either the page should scroll down to the comment after the project starts loading, or you shouldn't be brought back to the top of the page when the project loading starts.

So what do you say?

Sorry if this is a dupe.

Support, it's annoying and possibly laggy when scrolling down, especially in projects that have around 10000 comments.

I have about 3450 posts, 90 shared projects, 180 total created/followed topics, and 425 followers.

Support, that's really annoying and happens to me everytime.

Sure, but this would probably fit better in the Bugs and Glitches topic since it is a bug.

when this signature read :: events hat
if <I know what [kumquats] are :: sensing> then //false
have (Katty :: pen) [eat v] [nearby kumquats v] :: motion // Katty eats the kumquats for me, whatever they are
else
learn what [kumquats] are :: sensing // this block must be malfunctional
end

Support, this is just a little fix, but will maybe help.

Bug and glitches is only for bugs that happen on your system/computer, not for bug that happen to everyone because the website is programmed like that.
