Remove Smooth Scrolling

Hey there,

How does one go about removing the new smooth scrolling feature? Many of my users are complaining about it.

Thanks!

hi,

search for this code :

if (td_detect.is_chrome === true || td_detect.is_ie10 || td_detect.is_ie11) {
        td_smooth_scroll();
    }

and comment it out like here : http://screencast.com/t/pBTbcKztcKrA

Thanks for you message.

And by commenting it out you mean remove, right?

He mean comment adding // at line start, like:

//if (td_detect.is_chrome === true || td_detect.is_ie10 || td_detect.is_ie11) {
 //       td_smooth_scroll();
 //   }

So this way if you want put it back just uncomment and done!

Smooth scrolling is nice!

Thanks for clarifying that mixvice!

Looking for a way to get rid of it, Thanks!

I think the smooth scrolling is great unless you’re on a Mac, since they have smooth scrolling by default, so it is really uncomfortable to use the theme on a Mac right now.

I think smooth scrolling is a big usability issue for my visitors who use a Mac, so I am removing it. I encourage TagDiv to remove it completely as well since I believe this is something the operating system should take care of.

A lot of my users are also complaining about the same. I commented the lines above but the smooth scrolling is still there. Looks like its calling from js/td_external.js as well?

Just upgraded after a few months and went through my ritual of tweaking everything. Thought I would document this for anyone who wants to know.

I removed the smooth scrolling call from the following three files and that seemed to do it for me:

site.min.js
td_site.min.js
td_site.js

Doing a multi-file search reveals two other files that are calling the smooth scroll function, but this did it for me.

Is there anyway these files can be updated and included with the theme as soon as possible? I am hearing from users with Macs that this smooth scrolling does not work with Macs. If that is the case, there should be an option built into the theme to easily disable it or just disable it for Macs.

I’m with you on that! I’m really not sure why tagdiv decided to fundamentally change the way that users interact with their browsers by adding that smooth scrolling javascript. I would think it would be ideal to remove it from the theme and let users who want such a feature to find a plugin and use that.

I’ve reached out to the person who was having the issue and it was with Chrome 39 on a Mac. Is it because the smooth scrolling is enabled for Chrome which compounds with the Smooth Scrolling for Mac?

I’ve commented out the JS but have had to turn off the speed booster because I didn’t want to deal with messing with the minified versions. This is why it would be nice to have the ability to turn this off built into the theme… OR at least make it work so it doesn’t mess up on Macs using Chrome.

Thanks,

Please remove the smooth scrolling or atleast make it an option. I am a new user from today and I really dont like it! Chrome on Mac.
