Clicking on the forum being misdirected

Dexcon wrote on 10/12/2021, 7:14 AM

Since the Windows 10 update about 2 weeks ago or so (Version 10.0.19043) I am finding that clicking on a comment on the forum often opens something completely different such as an Important Post comment. This happens on both my desktop and laptop. And I've rebooted the modem which didn't solve the problem. Is there anybody else experiencing the same problem?

No, I haven't noticed.
What I have noticed recently is that the comment window sometimes doesn't open. I then have to go to the overview and try again, then it usually works. But I can't say exactly when this started. I would also estimate about 2 weeks.

Something like that I see almost evry time when I switch from the Pro forum to the Movie Studio forum that I see such a post.
It helps me to choose first another forum and than go to Vegas Movie Studio.

Now I'm getting extended white screen delays while some pages load - both in Edge and Chrome.

That's intermittently happening here as well during the last couple of days.

@Dexcon

Can describe more detailed how to reproduce the issue? Or did id stop?

@m2016 ... happily, the long white screen delays are no longer occurring. But I'm still occasionally getting, when clicking on the last comment icon on the far RH side of a post, the VEGAS Pro FAQs and TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDES post rather than the last comment on the post that I've clicked. Other than that, it's almost back to the way it used to be before the W10 update some 4 weeks ago.

@Dexcon: Can you provide a screenshot next time you're getting this?

@m2016
I made a little video, look here

@m2016 ...

The video posted by j-v is exactly what I am experiencing, and it can randomly occur when clicking on one of the topic buttons or on a last comment icon.

@j-v, @Dexcon Thanks for sharing the video. We can not reproduce it ;( Your are using Edge Browser, right? Is it an old version or why does the page looking very different from that what we expect the website looks like? Did you try the Inprivate Mode without the plugins? Or is it running in a kind of IE Emulation mode? Try using Chrome or FF?

Can't repro using the Opera browser.

@m2016
I 'm using the extension Stylish for Vegas

m2016 wrote on 11/2/2021, 12:23 PM

@j-v what happens if you deactivate this or/and the other extensions? maybe one of them is the reason.

j-v wrote on 11/2/2021, 12:37 PM

When I deactivate it my page shows not enough

compared with activated

m2016 wrote on 11/2/2021, 1:03 PM

@j-v The reason why you use the extension is clear so far, but maybe the extension or its setup/css-changes are the reason for the misfunction.

j-v wrote on 11/2/2021, 1:37 PM

I know, but in that case I choose the way of scrolling and working faster against a now and than extra click to come in the right forum part.

@m2016 ... I think that I've worked out how the 'misdirection' is happening ... and it actually occurs in the video posted by @j-v .

When clicking on a product heading on the forum - VEGAS PRO for example - and scroll down the page, the header (VEGAS: Forum/Tutorials/Magazine/Support + New Post) scrolls upwards and disappears off screen. Scrolling up to the top of the page results in the header scrolling back downwards, well, not always. immediately. It usually does but with a delay of several seconds. But if I hit another product heading - VEGAS MOVIE STUDIO for example - before the header has descended, then the misdirection occurs. In j-v's video, he clicks on VEGAS MOVIE STUDIO just as the heading is descending and the forum then goes to the FAQ/Troubleshooting page.

I noticed this behaviour yesterday and I've just spent some time testing it out. Every time a new product heading is clicked on, a misdirection to a random page occurs if the click occurs before the main forum header hasn't fully descended.
