I'm starting this new thread because I think others may be tired of the other "scroll problem" thread, and not view this solution if posted there. This fixed the irritating scrolling issue (double scroll bars) for me while using the standard eHam forum profile - apparently permanently. I'm using the latest Firefox. I've asked another eHam member to try it also and he told me it worked for him too.

First, go to your account and change the forum theme style to "eHam mobile" (you will not be keeping this setting though). See picture below. It's saved automatically when you select it -

Go to the forum and check out how it looks to make sure you are in the mobile theme. This, as it is, removes the scrolling issue, but we're not done yet (unless you like the mobile theme, then you can stop here).

Next, again go back to your profile and change back to the standard eHam theme. I found on my system that the scrolling issue is still fixed. Some setting has been changed and it's now removed the double scroll bar scrolling issue for the standard eHam theme. I closed the forum, closed the browser, reopened them, and the scrolling problem is still fixed. I went to other areas of eHam that I never use, and the scrolling was still fixed when I went back to the forum. When I close eHam and re-open it, I can see that double scroll bars appear at the right for about 1/2 second, but it then changes to a single scroll bar.

It sure is nice to have that issue fixed for the standard forum theme. Try this and let me know if this works for you.

N5INP,
 Amazing, you fixed it.
I did as you said and it worked perfect. I switched back to regular eham, went out of Mobile and it still works. Great work and thank you.

It seems to be a durable fix, surviving a reboot of the PC and all.

We just made some additional tweaks to the forum earlier this week, patching some holes in the scroll "fixes" that we had worked in some time ago (some OS/browser combos were still showing those scroll bars)

Looks like choosing a different theme (from the default) and then going back to the default loads the corrected default theme.

Good eyes!

 You need to add www to the link, it's what I normally do to be able to read the post in Safari and iOS. Under windows, it's added always. I tested with Edge under MacOS and didn't work (without adding the www part), the same navigator under windows works perfectly, and has the www added automatically.

I think I like the Mobile format better than the Eham.  Works much better on my phone, and is much faster on my laptops as well.

Good, same here still fixed.

I would have expected more feedback on this fix by now. Maybe people like the way the scrolling was acting? I can't imagine that but who knows ...

Works good, last's a long time.

Unfortunately, this workaround doesn't seem like a good enough solution because now when I click on the button, instead of bringing me to the first unread post, it only brings me to the top of the page.
