Scrolling
Not sure if this is just using the site with an iPhone and Safari or it happens all the time. When I scroll down, select something to see then go back, the browser takes me all the way back to the top of the page. Even when I went to page two of the looths, then click someone and go back it takes me to the top of page 1.
This isn’t the end of the world of course but trying to see members in page 5 or 6 to get bounced back to 1 could distract from seeing more members. I haven’t tried viewing as a new window, perhaps that’s a simple fix on the user end.

Hey Brian
Yeah. It’s a bit annoying. What follows is my understanding but I’m not a web developer so it’ll be expressed in barely-know-what’s-happening terms. I think this behaviour is because of the way many websites work now. Instead of a series of static pages, the content of each page gets pulled from a database and a file locations and assembled on the fly. If you check the page URL for for first page of members, you’ll see it’s loothgroup.com/members. If you check the second page’s url, it’s still the same. Same for the third and so on. The page doesn’t actually change but the content inside it is updated. So, when you go somewhere else and hit back, it loads loothgroup.com/members.
A potential workaround (which has become how I do almost anything on the internet these days) if I think I’ll want to come back to this page at some point, is to load new pages in new tabs. On mobile, if you long-press the link, it’ll bring up a menu and you can choose open in background. I’ll check to see if there’s anything else we can do but I think this is the way of things.

I was a web developer and this is pretty much it. It will depend on the platform, and some are more friendly to browser navigation than others. Opening everything in new tabs is a decent workaround.

That all makes sense thank you. I will give that a try.
