Oh no, with all this whining I just spent half an hour learning motherfucking javascript to fix everything, you better implement this shit:

Same function, further down:

Make this scroll to bottom function look like this:

Result: Scrolls all the way down if, and only if, the user is already at the bottom. Otherwise, stays in the current spot. No idea if it works right for mobile, since there's no practical way for me to test it.
Now it doesn't seem to scroll down at all.

You are typo. $("#taigachat_box").get(0).scrollheight; should be $("#taigachat_box").get(0).scrollHeight;

Capitalization is much important, separates a variable from a non-value.

line 488 should thus read: shouldScrollDown = $("#taigachat_box").get(0).scrollTop + $("#taigachat_box").height() + 10 >= $("#taigachat_box").get(0).scrollHeight;

I prefer the current way rather than being unable to scroll up at all, which was the previous situation on mobile.

Now instead of the chat box expanding off the screen so you have to scroll down outside the box to see new chat, now when people chat the text just stays in the same place and you have to manually scroll down within the box to see new chat. This also happens as well on the main forum page with shoutbox off to side as well now. The old problem with shoutbox only affected it when you opened shoutbox in a new tab, not on the main forum page.

Firefox 52.0.2 if you are at the bottom already then it does scroll properly, if you scroll up and leave it there it doesn't snap to bottom.

So it appears to be working for me.

Tested Raapys fix an it works perfectly in Chrome, though he said to add this directly under that line to make it work in inspector (for those that want to try):
Code:
            console.log(shouldScrollDown);

This issue now appears to be resolved, with Shoutbox functionality now working as intended across browsers we care aboutÂą.

ÂąIE: The one I use.

Nope still broken on Chrome. When you open shoutbox in a new tab it doesn't scroll to the bottom at all. It sort of works on the main page but eventually breaks.

Might be because I'm zoomed in at 150-175 percent then. But I can't read webpages in 100%. Everything is too small and webpages typically don't fit the whole screen. :(

We must always respect the elderly. I have reproduced the problem with zoomed or abnormal aspect ratios. Chrome appears to report a slightly too small scroll-bar height of .33333333333 points less than it should be, when doing some zoomed modes, which makes the script to believe it is no longer at the bottom, thus not auto-scrolling.

The solution took me all night and day, but I stood strong.

Line 488 should instead of "+10" have "+11".
