Subject: Bouncing text?? I think I'm loosing my mind Tue Jun 07, 2016 5:18 pm
Hello:
I seem to be experiencing an issue related to text and other objects having a visual effect as if they are bouncing. I see this on my phone and on my laptop. A good example is here:
I don't know if this is just my eyes playing tricks on me or if the various elements on the screen are refreshing extremely quickly. If these elements are refreshing or moving rapidly this is causing two problems:
1. Due to the constant changing positions my screen reader gets thrown off when I start a "read to end" because the content keeps changing. It's almost as if someone keeps hitting the "refersh page" key on my browser and my software has to start reading from the top. 2. Due to the rapid visual changes I am getting rather dizzy and disorientated when viewing afflicted pages.
Whatever is causing this, can someone look into it please and get back to me as this is making my experience on the forum close to unusable.

Then I'm sorry - unsure what the issue is as it unheard of and I don't experience it -- may you take a screenshot please?

Considering it's a case of moving objects I don't think I can. I'll do a screen video on my computer and upload it to YouTube. Note this will not address the screen reader issue as that's on my iPad or iPhone

update; I couldn't reproduce the issue even on video (one must love how that works some times... however, I did manage to highlight some other issues which I'd like you to get a look at regarding another open thread I have about the color scheme so you can see exactly how that is affecting me.

Hm, I saw your issue, and I wish I can help you with the text issue, but the only problem is that you're the only one with this issue, and hopefully after you've visited this website frequently enough, you're used to the text. However, a new theme is in the works, and hopefully the text coloring issue will be fixed for you .
Regarding the bouncing of the page, it was possible that the forumotion servers itself (the server in which this forum is hosted on) was glitching in your region -- hopefully it won't happen again to you.

i've bbeen using the site for awhile and have found the older color scheme easier to work with, but who am I to complain? I was simply drawing attention to my specific circumstances so if/when the time comes to refresh the theme, we are aware of these issues ande can address thm properly

Update: I was able to reproduce the issue when working from my iPhone on a mobile browser and using the desktop version. After awhile the issue tops but i shouldn't have to hold out for the issue to stop completely. Here's a video containing proof of the issue at hand:

I use my iphone all the time when on this site and i've never experianced anything like whats going on with you. Are you sure its the site? And not ypur devices acting funny? As you said, it isn't an issue on desktops computers so maybe its the browser your using to view the site from or somthing. I'd suggest try loading the site in a different browser from the one your using on your phone.
