How do I keep page loads from autoscrolling to the last post read or to the bottom of the page.
Basically, on mobile devices, the page is unusable because it wants to keep scrolling to the bottom evy time a new element loads. So the page loads, you scroll to where you want to be, BOOM, it knocks you to the bottom, repeat half a dozen times before you can finally begin to read.
I no wannee scroll to bottom until we get a mobile app.
How please?

Not sure. Because I never tried it. But when you are viewing by forum not topic. You have options to view by date, descending or ascending. At the bottom of the page. Change your settings. And see if that fills your needs.

No that's not it. What I mean is that when you open up a thread, the software automatically takes you to the last post in the thread on page load, ie, usually the bottom of the page. It only happens when you open a thread. It doesn't do it on the main index, or when you open a sub-forum. Only when you open a thread.
How to disable that?

I don't have a answer. I know somewhere there was a discussion on the issue of content islands being missed. Since they are placed between the first and second post. But anyway if there is a way to disable it, how would you find new posts?

I don't think you understand what I mean.
When I open a thread, the software jumps automatically to the last post in the thread, which is to say it jumps to the bottom of the page. I want it to load the page and not jump to the bottom of the page. Let the user read the hread from the beginning and scroll down himself.
Repeat: open THREAD and it jumps to bottom. How to disable?

Well I do understand. The topic I was talking about that I could not find was actually on the same issue but was due to the content island was passed by. Meaning the content island is placed between the first and second post. If a topic say has ten replies. Or is at multiple pages. A visitor will select the unread post link. since it is new to them. Then they are taken to the bottom of the page to the new posting. Thereby never viewing the content island because it is several posts above. Unless they manually scroll back to the top of the page or previous page.
The problem I believe comes from when you visit a site your cookie timestamp determines if you have unread topics or replies. Meaning that any post newer than your existing timestamp is new. So naturally you are taken to that post when you click on a new link. To change that I assume would need a major edit to the cookie files so they are handled differently.

But I think UBB.threads is the only one that does that. I haven't seen it anywhere else. Many of my "customers" have asked for a way to stop it, even though it's a feature that I happen to like. As you said, Ruben, it is also a feature that blows the reader right past the ads in the island.

My 2 cents. I like the way it works. But then again different strokes for different folks. Hence why there may need to be a option.

In /templates/default/postlist.tpl find: <a href="{ubb url="ubb=`$mode`&Number=`$postrow[topic].lastpostid`#Post`$postrow[topic].lastpostid`" title=$postrow[topic].SubjectClean}" rel="nofollow">{$postrow[topic].time}</a>
Replace with: <a href="{ubb url="ubb=`$mode`&Number=`$postrow[topic].lastpostid`" title=$postrow[topic].SubjectClean}" rel="nofollow">{$postrow[topic].time}</a>
You can do the same in activetopics.tpl with <a href="{ubb url="ubb=show`$display`&Number=`$topics[row].post_id`#Post`$topics[row].post_id`" title=$topics[row].post_subject}">{$topics[row].post_subject}</a> Replace With: <a href="{ubb url="ubb=show`$display`&Number=`$topics[row].post_id`" title=$topics[row].post_subject}">{$topics[row].post_subject}</a> Then the main page/category page too, really just remove the section starting with a # (a bookmark) to the ending quote using the above two as a reference.

I love the way it takes you to the last post when you click on a topic. But it does not work on my new Kindle Fire Works on my iPhone and computers.
