I am having a strange issue. When a user is logged and visit certain WPForo pages on my forum, the screen jumps down below the header. But only when logged in. For guests, this behavior doesn't happen.

For instance on the Recent Posts Page...

https://gopherpucklive.com/forum/recent/

 

Here is how the top of the page looks for Guests/Logged out users. You can see the entire top of the site and there is no automatic scroll.

 

Here is how the top of the page looks for Logged IN users. The top of the page becomes breadcrumb and you need to manually scroll up to see the main header/menu.

 

What could be causing something like this to happen? I am a bit baffled on it. (And sick of manually scrolling back up to get to the header/menu.)

Dang... I believe it is the exact behavior that is happening in this thread.

@cotner 

Have you tried disabling the option? Does that resolve the issue?

@sofy It does resolve the issue, but now the forum links bring users to the first forum post and not the first unread post. The one thing I wanted to avoid. 

I am of the belief that when you click a link to the most recent post within a thread is a great feature. But when just viewing the Recent Posts page or the Participant page, the screen should not jump down to that spot.

Looks like there is not much I can do about it along with @martinasjam who id trying to solve the same issue.
