Hmm. Did you try clearing your browser cache on your phone?

Fixed.
I forgot to activated some image-processing modules used by that page.
Thanks Bill! Good to know it's not always me being an idiot.

I did. Cleared all history/cache/cookies. No luck!

Honestly, it's not much of a bother. Just wanted to get the word out in case it was an easy fix or if a lot of other people had the same issue

^I'm still trying to duplicate the problem but not having success.

Do you mind telling you what device/browser you're using, so I could do further testing?

Yep! I'm on a Motorola G5, running Android 8.1.0, in chrome

I found the "scrolling to top" problem.

You each have "360 Summit Panos" as your default display from a regular computer. When you enter the home page using a mobile device, it takes a while to load the pano files so if you swipe before it's done, it pops back to the top.

Until I get it fixed, you could change your "Display Settings" (top-right of home page, under Profile) back to "14er Photos" and it will likely fix the problem because those photos load much faster.

It should be fixed on most mobile devices.

Now, when the home page detects a mobile, it won't even bother to retrieve panos but instead display a lightweight background image. This reduces page load time dramatically.

Seems like the big picture/background on the home page is gone. Would love to see that come back. I enjoy scrolling down, trying to identify that nice, clear, large picture and verifying my guess with the label at the bottom.

You're Display Settings are set to "360 Pano" and I changed the home page to display one of just a few background images if you're displaying a pano. If you want to see changing images, you can change your "Display Settings" (using the Profile menu on top of home page) to "14er Photos."

Thanks for fixing this. I always thought it's just an annoying "feature" of Android.

My pleasure. Sorry I didn't see it sooner!
