Our community has a long list of guidelines as a post. The problem is that because of lazy loading, when you do a page search for say “artificial” using the browser search, because the information about artificial intelligence is at the bottom of the page and not yet loaded, it returns zero results. Is there some way to either disable lazy load for pages like this or even better, let us create a simple static page that loads all at once. A related problem we have (that I mention in case our entire approach is wrong) is that the automatic anchors to headings are completely fragile—as soon as you put a new heading above an existing one, all the anchors below are changed. That to me is complete insanity, which makes me thing we may be going about this wrong.

Not sure what to say about the anchors… but for your guidelines, have you considered creating a static Guidelines page per Customizing FAQs and Guidelines? You can also convert any topic into a static page via the Page Publishing feature – though unlike the FAQ and Guidelines facility, this creates a page that appears kind of standalone, without any forum headers or menus.

[image] ToddZ: static Guidelines page per Customizing FAQs and Guidelines? That’s exactly what we have already. Unless I’m missing something, those are just regular posts (lazy loading) that have a built in menu possibility. But at the end of the day, they are just posts. [image] ToddZ: static page via the Page Publishing feature OK, I’ll check that out. Thanks!

I’m not sure FAQ and Guidelines are lazy loading – but maybe I’ve never seen one that’s long enough to matter. When you page-down through your Guidelines, does the scrollbar jump back as more content loads?

OK, I think I got that figured out. The FAQ is broken up over several responses. That’s what’s causing the lazy loading. I should have noticed that. Thanks for engaging me on this. Sometimes you just need to talk things out with another human.
