At least, I do the best job that I can, given the random content I'm displaying. There are two display mechanisms on idkfa: "Classic" mode, the "1995-style bullshit" that displays one post at a time according to user selection, as well as that post's relative position in the thread. "Full" mode, where all replies in a thread are rendered in full. For classic mode, browser scrolling isn't an issue: you're only every displaying 1 thing, and that thing is at the top. For full mode, this becomes a problem, as the contents of a post can change the geometry of the thread after a page has loaded. For instance: a thread full of dozens of hilarious, hand-picked GIFs that load slowly even over a broadband connection. Even though I can tell the browser "Go to this inline bookmark called thread_NNNN," the browser can only do so accurately at the time that I ask it (meaning, I can tell it to focus anywhere on the page, but that point can change according to user action, dynamic changes to page elements, or late-loading page elements changing the geometry of the page). So, I do scroll for you, but it only works well when there are relatively few page geometry changes after the initial page load. If you look at the thread display page's HTML source, you'll see the following code (with actual commentary): // Little hackish... but so is everything else. Event.observe( document, 'dom:loaded', function() { if( window.location.href.indexOf( '#thd_' ) == -1 ) { window.location = window.location + '#thd_5043'; } } ); This script binds an event handler that triggers when the programmatic underpinnings of the rendered page are available for manipulation (the kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) idkfa Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:15:29 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5042&msg_id=5047 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5042&msg_id=5046 Which is some 1995-style bullshit, right?

He wins. I ask this because I will click on what i hope is a hilarious GIF, and then other items load and make it move down the page so I have to scroll to it. SCROLL TO IT JOSH.

All the pinned images (that aren't special announcements, ala Sammich and Kitty), which appear in oldest-first order. Where's my prize?!
