    I set up all the uBlock filters and for a day or two things improved, but now they are as bad, if not worse than ever.   I can either chose to go into incognito mode, or refresh the page each time the fault happens.
    That's interesting ... I am also using DoaM's filters and am having no issues - they work fine for me.
    They work fine for me too.

    DoaM's filters and am having no issues - they work fine for me. That's the top pf Page 4. You have cut and paste the filters into a downloaded Ublock

    Hi everyone, Sorry to hear some of you are still having issues. Just to keep you posted, this is still on the list. Appreciate we haven't had much to update you on in this regard, but we definitely haven't forgotten. We are working with the platform team to get this resolved and will hopefully update you shortly.

    A weird quirk of this issue is when I get the white patches and refresh, it takes me to page 2 of either the forum or the post I'm on when it happens.

    Hi @Anamox
    This is likely the feature that takes you to the page with the oldest unread post when you've already viewed a thread. Because refreshing, it thinks you've seen Page 1 and will take you to Page 2.

    Except the point is ...... the MSE site forces you too refresh because its impossible to read the page on the site and use the site normally like any other site !
    This has been the case for the whole of september and now one week into oct 20.

    Opera updated for me today and that is now having the same problem as chrome.

  • I am also using DoaM's filters in Chrome and have no issues. If I turn off uBlock for this site then I can see the problems. (Scrolling to the bottom of the page allows the screen to sort itself out). Turn uBlock back on and no issues.

    I have not encountered the problem this evening.
    It seems to coincide with the disappearance of the embedded Twitter on the RH side.
    Anybody else ?
  • Yes, I've set my screen zoom back to 125% and it's working perfectly. So it does look like the Twitter thing had something to do with it.
