This issue occurs on my PC running Windows 10 with the Chrome browser.

When I try to scroll down in TFP forums using the scroll wheel on my mouse it doesn't scroll properly. It often jumps around and comes back to the top. I haven't seen this behaviour in other web sites.

Anyone else see this?
 
This site has had various problems with the Chrome browser. It works fine with Firefox and Edge.
 
Good to hear that others have this issue as well - this is likely a bug with the forum software Xenforo and/or Chrome.
 
May I ask, does it do it on every page or just certain pages? If only certain pages, which ones?
Seems to be every page for me but only while the scroll bar is at the very top. If I keep rolling the mouse wheel it will work normally for the rest of the page. If I go back to the top it repeats the same way.

Exactly - this is pretty much what I see. On pages with lists of forums I see this behaviour - like on Forum list or on the pages for the individual forums. Once you break out of the sticky area at the top it seems to work ok.

For me, TFP and Chrome have been wonky for over a year. Every link I click (which I typically open in a new tab) initially loads and then automatically redirects to my profile page. I have to rapidly hit "ESC" on every new tab otherwise a redirect occurs.

Firefox works normally.
 
The "juttering" thing happens to me on my work PC where we're stuck with Chrome and Windows.

It does NOT do this in Firefox on Windows or even Chrome on macOS.
 
Thank you for the feedback! I’ll pass this along but I’ll also toss a warning…….its a holiday week and things are hit and miss when tech support is available 👍 May be a bit before they can take a hard look at this.

It seems to be a bug in the ThemeHouse UI.X theme relating to the javascript pinning of the sidebar. If you make your browser window narrow enough (less than 1200px wide) that the left hand sidebar is hidden the issue doesn't occur. If you disable javascript the issue doesn't occur.
