XF 2.1 Users complaining when are replying to a thread and the "New Post" banner appears, moving the screen

I think we all know what we are talking about.

This is a annoying problem (or feature?) that my users complaining everyday about it.

When someone is at mobile site, replying to a thread, the screen move to the banner "New Post" because the thread was updated.

There is any way of disable this?

Thanks.

There isn't an explicit way to disable it, though you can edit the thread_save_draft template to change whether it is returned.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't know how to do that. Do you have any code on how to make the screen don't move to add in the template?

Thanks again.

Change the template to this,

<!-- <xf:if is="{$hasNewPost}">
    <div class="message js-newMessagesIndicator">
        <div class="message-inner">
            <div class="message-cell message-cell--alert">
                {{ phrase('messages_have_been_posted_since_you_loaded_this_page') }}
                <a href="{{ link('threads/new-posts', $thread, {'after': $lastDate}) }}" data-xf-click="message-loader">{{ phrase('view_them') }}</a>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</xf:if> -->

Hello Ozzy.

Please, correct if I'm wrong, but, if i add the <-- --> this is going to completely disable the banner, right?

I like the banner, i just don't like the screen moving to him.

There is no way to change the behavior, only if it shows or not.

I understand.

Going to ask my users about it.

Thanks again for helping me.

Do you have a screencast of the movement?

Do you have a screencast of the movement?

Yes. Just recorded. I’m on a iPhone 7 Plus:

Would this help you? The banner would be an overlay instead of pushing the page down.

Have you seen that design pattern where a notification pops down from the top of the browser window, then slides away? We can rock that in pure CSS.

This is perfect. Thanks!

But unfortunately I'm not a coder.

I can pay for this modification if you (or anyone) can adapt this for me.
