I Must Assume This Is The Most Well-Known Issue With The Forum [...]

[…] Or It’s An Issue With My Setup Somehow OR When I Post This MP4 File It Will Turn Out To Be Only Visible To Myself—A Delusion

:closed_umbrella: Okay all jokes aside why the fuck does the alternating color scheme on posts sometimes flip (and then flip back) while you’re scrolling a thread?

:closed_umbrella: It’s really distracting and stuff.

:closed_umbrella: Also it has to be happening to everyone surely, so I guess it’s just an unfixable problem on the backend? I can’t imagine this standing for especially long, it’s such an obvious (if minor) blight on the reading experience.

If it helps, I’ve experienced this before.
Not sure why it happens? My best guess is that the forum loads posts in bunches, and hopping between them can cause issues, but that’s pure speculation.

i mean its just a nth-child coloring scheme so I can see why it would swap when loading/unloading things

that being said I dont think ive personally ever seen this occur?
