It‘s not a huge problem but it has bothered me for quite a while now: if I browse the caf on my iPhone 7 with Chrome and click on a thread with unread answers it goes on the last unread one like on my laptop initially but when the browser finishes loading the page it somehow jumps a lot higher to previous posts I have read already at an earlier time.

Have others with the same specs experienced the same or is it something with browser/iOS settings?

From what you describe I think that's not related to a device or browser, it's because the page has media like embedded tweets or videos that usually load after the posts, and they push the page down once they appear, pushing your view of the page higher up. Make sense?

Happens to everybody depending on how quickly, or otherwise, the entire page loads.

I actually contemplated about that being the problem but then deemed the thought unworthy since I don't know the first thing about programming. So is this an inherent problem of the 'go to last unread' function or is it something on the to-do list?

There's no real way to fix it that I know of.
 
Considering I know little of XenForo's ecosystem, my hunch is that there is a certain function, which scrolls the window down, that fires immediately after the DOM loads. The contents of an embedded Tweet aren't natively part of the DOM that gets loaded, and usually loads far after the DOM is ready, which of course happens after that scroll function as well. The only way I can think of solving this, is by checking if these Tweets have a "done" state, which will then return with the function to scroll you down.

TL;DR/Regular English - The reason the page pushes back up on mobile is due to the order of operations of the underlying code.
 
I don't know if it's exactly the same problem, but it's pretty similar problem for me. I often open pages, threads, post in new tab and when I open it like that instead of just clicking it and going directly to that page in already opened tab, it just opens up last page and shows page from the beggining instead of last unread post somewhere in middle of the page. This is bugging me for weeks now, anyone know the solution?
