Putting this in #Contribute > Bug as I feel this is preventing the normal use of Discourse, but it may be a better fit for #Contribute > UX. I started noticing on one of my sites (internal, so I can’t share a link) that the topic timeline was a bit wonky, and started playing around to try and figure out what was going on. Essentially when using the topic timeline to go to a recent post (like 5 or 6 out of 6) the posts would not scroll as expected, and the post that I scrolled to would not actually be visible. I couldn’t reproduce this on Meta or Stonehearth, nor in my development environment, so I started looking into what was different between the sites. I eventually realized that my site has suggested topics “disabled” (`suggested topics = 0`), while Meta, Stonehearth, and dev do not. After disabling suggested topics on dev I could reproduce the issue. @eviltrout, does the topic timeline scrolling assume that there are suggested topics?
