This is presumably already on your radar, but I only just noticed it as a universal trait.
The blurb about the product covers up the first few posts on each page of the discussion thread. Previously I noticed it on one or two, but it seems to have spread now to be every product thread.
Ah, so I'm not the only one. I'm on a Mac w/ Safari as my browser, if that's helpful info for the IT crew.
I can see the first posts, but their text looks like it's center-aligned, at least in a narrow browser window.
Also, I'm finding the page opens to the top of the thread, and no longer necessarily at the point where I last looked at it. For example, if there are 4 new posts, I still open up the page at the top and have to scroll all the way down to see those 4 new posts.
That's not a step forward.
Sorry, Lissa. I knew that was useful - don't know why I omitted it.
Unfortunately, here at work I'm struggling to recreate the problem! When I made my first post, I thought it was universally true on the product pages . Looks like not.
I know this page was problematic on my Ipad. Most of my avatar and the first half of the post on that page was obscured.
Here's one which is still obscured. (I can't see posts 1,2 or most of 3).
I'm using Firefox Qantum (?) 59.0.2 64 bit.
Product Discussion/Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Distant Realms. [really as a random example; I just looked at it]
Safari 11.1 on the Mac
My post of March 27th should be the sixth on the page; you can see that the post above mine has the avatar half-obscured and none of the text visible.
I'm using Chrome 65.0.3325.181 in Windows 10.
I get the same result as Joana when I follow her link, however I can see the product page BenS indicated just fine with no obscuring (on Firefox, as above).
Heres another example. This time on an iPad.
Here's a screenshot, hope that helps
Windows 7 (work) using Google Chrome V65.0.3325.181
This page is not loading the discussion section correctly.
Both the top of the section and the bottom of the section are missing.
The top cuts off with only a few mm of the search button visible.
At the bottom, you have to click each posting date to see the next post.

Steve, can you see a cropped top of Product Discussion...Nidal, Land of Shadows? I think I recognize the avatar of the poster as Fallen Dabus (working from memory), but I see only the bottom half. I'm just curious since you said on my other listed page you didn't see the same cropping issue I had. And you appear to be using Safari as well.
Here's another example. This is not showing the first five and a half posts on Firefox.
Tech team, can I ask if it's useful to continue posting every instance (there's quite a lot of them) or did you just need a few examples?

Most of the time I use Firefox. Occasionally, I browse the product pages on Safari, but not often.
The Nidal page shows up fine for me on Firefox (I'll look when I get home on Safari).
Rick Kunz posted his announcement that this was now available (and I could see it fine). Then I replied and now I can't see his post.

I don't see it either on Safari, and I'm guessing you were on Firefox when you posted that link.
Yeah, oops. I have to remember nobody else is here to see details like that. :/
That's the first time I've noticed a thread which is displaying correctly switch to being messed up.
Yeah, Chrome displays Steve's post as the first.
I am seeing the "cropping" of the first (few?) posts on the page in this thread:
http://paizo.com/products/btpy9i3d/discuss?Legendary-Planet-Players-Guide#2 3
And to add a twist to the issue, the display does not start at the last post, but way up the page to where I last posted in the thread.

Firefox Quantum, 59.0.2, 64 bit

The band at the bottom of the page just cut off the fields to sign in on my Downloads tab for the new AP volume: image.
I downloaded it from my Downloads Digital Content page, but I thought I should report it.

I have been able to reproduce the error by visiting
http://paizo.com/products/btpy9y26/discuss&page=4?Pathfinder-Adventure- Path-133-Secrets-of-Roderics-Cove#189
I haven't had much time to play with it but removing position:relative from the div class="tabs" and then re-adding it in developer tools fixes the position. It might be that the comments are being loaded in and positioned before the height of the item box is known?
Of course, as I'm testing this, I found another failure mode. Performing a hard reload shows the first post positioned correctly. The height of div class="post" is correct. But the height of div class="tab-content" is all of 352 pixels high, concealing the post content.
When I'm using cached files, though, I don't see the issue.
This might be something you need to inject artificial latency to see and debug. I'll see if I can get anything more concrete.

Looks like the primary culprit is the interaction between the height of the div class="tabs" and the absolute positioning of the divs class="tab-content".
HTML/CSS-wise, the absolutely positioned content doesn't cause the parent elements to resize to fit. Removing position:absolute fixes the issue.
I don't want to go digging through your JS, but I'm guessing you're doing some dynamic assignment of element height before the content is done loading?
Hope some of that helps, at least.

Now that's proper feedback. :)
A further observation:
When these “cropped” threads get a new post and I follow the (x new) link, it takes me to the top of the page, rather than to the new post.
I’m pretty sure this is a 100% correlation.
I’m currently on an iPad, but it’s also true using windows and Firefox.

Hah, thanks Steve.

On another note, things are functioning much better now! And that is certainly, er, one way to solve the problem. :o)
It does create the issue Steve mentions, where anchor links to specific posts resolve before the content is done loading. I think you might need to rely on JS to solve this one--since the DOM is officially loaded before the page pulls in all the comments and the resize script resizes the containing element to match.
I'm still having this issue of cropped tops of threads. Just a bump for Paizo's IT folk.

Hey everyone, we tried to get this resolved with a small release we did yesterday aimed at QoL and bug fixes. The thread cropping issue is still around, but I think we identified where things were going wrong. We're going to hold off on doing another attempt to resolve it likely until after PaizoCon, but it is on our radar.

I appreciate the timeline and active response a lot. The issue is annoying but I'm glad it's on the radar at least.

Bump b/c it's still happening.

Not only is it still happening, but the threads it's happening on (i.e., this one) have another weird thing going on: When you click on the most recent post or (x new), the page loads at the correct post but then immediately "bounces" to the top of the page.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yep, I can confirm we see this behavior and agree it's fairly annoying/obtrusive. I'll go back to folks and see if there's a way to resolve sooner than later.
Thank you. This is my main complaint about the new site. Other stuff is bearable.
