Hey,

We’re using this version of Discourse

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/0/9/d/09dc2274477817585c0d5bb9ed51028c73ababe6.png)

And I’m in a thread with 9,800 posts. I’m reading the second to last latest, and every time someone responds the forum jumps to the latest post, skipping several new posts.

This also happens if I leave the browser open and go make lunch or something. When I return, the thread is on the latest post, and I have to scroll up to read the last 1 to 100 replies I missed.

I am failing to understand how this is useful. It is definitely new behavior. Is there a way to disable this? If not, can you add an “auto scroll” or “live scroll” disable button in settings? It is borderline rage inducing, and I like to save my rage for useful things.
