Our users have been experiencing an issue while scrolling through a topic. At a certain point, when more posts need to load, a loading spinner appears at the bottom.

Sometimes, when the screen gets a bit ‘stuck’ (I’m not sure how to explain this), and the replies, instead of the next batch appearing below the last post, continues going on, in each batch, and you can still see the loading circle, loading more on more replies, but you are always at the bottom of each batch each time, until you reac…
