I made the switch to Discourse recently and my community is torn on whether they like the infinite scroll or not. Some users like it, some don’t care, some treat it like an existential threat to the community. Based on other discussions I read here it sounds like it’s a common point of contention. I…

I think the main issue you’d have is the constant burden of maintaining a plugin that very regularly broke as you’d have to override a lot of the UI for which only minor changes in core might break. The issue is unlikely to be technical, almost any one time customisation is possible, more like prac…

You mean the implemention of the chat uses pages? Sorry, I dont think I am following.

No, I think I borked it. :slight_smile: You can append ?page=2 under certain circumstances, but it appears I have forgotten precisely how that works. :slight_smile:

AFAIK that parameter works only for pages we serve to crawlers and old, unsupported browsers.

[immagine] piffy: some treat it like an existential threat to the community These are the same users are upset that they can’t use their Commodore 64s. Tell them that you are very sorry and that you’re working hard on the problem and do nothing. Infinite scrolling has been industry standard f…

I think your point here is very strong. Ultimately this plugin would force us to either never update or would be a task that never ends. As @pfaffman implies, the communication-based solution is probably easier than a technical one. I have a feeling most of these users will just get used to it. Ju…

The development would cost somewhere upwards of $10k, possibly as much as $50k. Perhaps you could ask your community to find those funds? Oh and give you $5k a year for maintenance … turning a free open-source project into a costly nightmare. I don’t see the benefit of “paging” much given you can…

I do think a “hybrid” component may be somewhat practical. Every N posts in a topic you insert a “paginator” Post 1 Post 2 ... Post 15 [*Page 1*] [Page 2] [Page 3] [Page 4] Post 16 ... De-infinite scrolling Discourse is not a practical exercise, but a component that makes a “hybrid” paginat…

Sam, your message makes me remind Natural breakpoints or "chapters" for long topics? ; I’d be very curious to see a result of something like this. And it could be a good alternative for those who miss pagination. They often seem to miss the pagination because pages are breakpoints and nothing more.

La paginazione è impossibile o semplicemente difficile?

Nessuna novità, purtroppo, è un’idea molto interessante, ho avvisato il team addetto all’esperienza dei membri che può monitorarla.
