Would this be a site wide setting I would need to disable somewhere to turn off auto update? He said that he tried turning off auto load in the preferences menu and it still happens so :marseyshrug:
when auto-refreshing if the current visualViewport.pageTop isn't within x distance of the top of the page any new posts get 0 height, then on a scroll event (probably need to debounce) check if pageTop height is within that x distance, if it is, set the correct height for the posts.
