I will go crazy if they wont fix it soon.

You and me both.

This isn't a new thing though, it's been like it for months (on many websites) or am I the only person who noticed it? :p

I only started seeing it happen after I reinstalled Ubuntu and installed Chrome 28 and its been less than a week since I did that.

I only just started noticing it, but I''m on Win 8 and Chrome Dev just updated to 29, before that it wasn't happening

Yeah I never had a problem before update, I thought it had fixed but 'Random Pictures' thread brought it back :/

Just started seeing this earlier today. Annoying as hell! Also getting the gif freezing bug as well - had that one for MONTHS! :angry:,

I know it's nothing you guys can fix though, just venting :)

This is actually really getting on my nerves now, it is not just Neowin.

Since updating to 29 I have had this bug on about 6 different websites. They have definitely broken something :(

Ctrl-F5 fixes it sometimes but I have to do this every time I visit a new link on a page and sometimes it doesn't fix anything.

I haven't, how would you submit it? part of the page fails to render onload while scrolling?

Not sure, but it's definitely not just from scrolling while it's trying to load. Just watching a page load not touching anything triggers it for me.

I'm not sure really, never submitted a bug really but maybe you can add screen shots and compare a page with and without the bug.... :huh:

Not to rain on the parade but I have been seeing this issue using v27 (current release build) as well.

Saying that, I only updated to v29 the other day and I think it was present before I updated, I can't be certain though.

This is happening to me more and more now on many pages.

I've visited 4 pages this morning, including neowin, that have this rendering/layout bug, neowin is the only forum too; the other pages are just normal websites.

Also, I have reported this to google using their feedback form. Hopefully they get back to me/fix the bug.

I also just reported the problem. I included the URL to this thread as well as a screenshot of the problem.

It's odd that I never seem to get the problem while looking at the forum index or anything, only when I'm viewing a thread.

Ye i have the same, the only place it happens is inside a thread.

I have only started experiencing this with the 29 update, no previous updates, however, what I have noticed at least with my experience anyway is that it only happens when i go to a different page within a thread, it never happens on the first load of a thread and it never happens outside of the thread pages.

both on Windows 7 and 8 now.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
