I use snagit as well on my PC. The nice thing about using it in discourse is that you can just paste an image into a post rather than having to go through a dialog to upload it as we did with ning.
I know exactly what youâre referring to, Zoe.
This is a feature of discourse, and like anything, has pros and cons.
This feature is there to make page loading faster (much faster). Discourse keeps track of where you last were reading a discussion. When you load it the next time, it takes you directly to the first new post you havenât read.
When it does this, it doesnât load all the posts in the entire discussion that would be displayed on that page. Rather, it just sends a few before and after, sending much less data over the internet, much less processing for your browser to do to display the page.
Then, when you scroll to previous posts that were not loaded initially, it dynamically requests that data from the server, renders it, and displays it. This is where the delay comes from while scrolling.
Thatâs the con. The pros are faster initial loading, and no page index â you can scroll all the way forward and back through the entire conversation without have to click a âprev/next pageâ button.

You are absolutely right, AR. Which is why, to me, the best technology is the kind that is unobtrusive and just allows you to do what you want to do. (In this case connect to and learn from other PWDâs).
