Can you drop the scrolljacking on your site? I spun my mousewheel and I went halfway down the page. Usually I instantly jump ship in these cases (even when the header is a Playboy centrefold. Priorities, priorities...)
- jdiez17 11y ago+1. It was difficult to scroll on my laptop, even the smallest scroll gesture I can make moved the page down more than I wanted. I don't know why some websites hijack scroll events. What are they trying to achieve? A better scrolling experience? Almost every time, it makes it a lot more frustrating.
- rcpt 11y agoHey what browser are you using? None of us here know what's going on with this.
- Freaky 11y agoNot sure what's going on with the weird scroll speeds, but for me the problem is motion sickness from the smooth bouncy scrolling. Browsers have options to disable smooth scrolling for a reason. Please don't force it back on.
- rcpt 11y agoUgh. I still don't know what thing in WordPress set this off. fwiw I have the same content on my personal blog which shouldn't do anything with your scrolling http://ryancompton.net/2016/04/19/what-convolutional-neural-networks-look-at-when-they-look-at-nudity/ http://ryancompton.net/2016/04/19/what-convolutional-neural-...
- viraptor 11y agoWherever it comes from, I'm guessing the "smooth-scroller" class on <body> applies it.
- Freaky 11y agoLooks like it's part of the UNCODE theme[1], and can be disabled by dropping smooth-scroller from the body class. Your personal blog is much more readable, thanks :) 1: http://themeforest.net/item/uncode-creative-multiuse-wordpress-theme/13373220 http://themeforest.net/item/uncode-creative-multiuse-wordpre...
- jdiez17 11y agoI use Chromium. Just tried Firefox on a desktop, and it seems to be okay.
- zaroth 11y agoOh come on HN! The author of this great article asked if you have any questions and you go for the scrolljacking comment?! I really want to see dang doing the "detached and flagged" thing on these pissant comments about scrolljacking, JavaScript, contrast ratios, etc. especially as the top comment to an author making themself available to discuss a technical article on convnets!
- rocky1138 11y agoIf my comment were the only one allowed, then I would agree with you. Thankfully, there is a comment box available for anyone else who would like to comment on his article. So, my comment will be simply one of many.
- Freaky 11y agoWe got a more readable alternative link to use and the author's now aware that the original was difficult for some people to read. What exactly is the problem?
- DanBC 11y agoYou can point people to dang's post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9238739 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9238739 > A reader emailed to complain about how this and other HN discussions often become derailed by off-topic carping about blog design. I agree completely. Could there be a more classic form of bikeshedding? It would seem parodic if it weren't sadly real. This has become more of a thing on HN lately. It needs to become less of a thing.
- dang 11y agoI agree, and belatedly did so. In the future you should bring stuff like this to our attention by either flagging the comment or emailing hn@ycombinator.com.
