I suspect that CSS files not loading at the same time is the issue for everyone here. I've noticed there's been a little lag around the site lately so it will probably be resolved if we tackle the lag, since I think the issue is various CSS files loading after the rest of the page loads. (We have been discussing ways to further improve site speed and stability!)
Basically I think what's happening is the page is half-loading, but some CSS file lags behind. Then when that CSS file loads, that CSS suddenly exists and starts affecting things and that's why people will see pages seem to "resize" or "blink" or shift subtly.

It certainly feels like a loading error/lag problem. However, sometimes it really does seem fully loaded, its been like a minute or so, nothing changes, nothing resizes, but nothing works either (hover, buy button).

Hi Bug, wow that was awesome of Jigglypuff, I'd do the same but have NO IDEA how.
For me the page isn't moving up the screen, it is, as some others have said, just a quick 'blink' of the page where it looks like it resizes to fit a full window.

Yeeeeeah I've been having problems like this for days.
Just popping in to add that on! Hopefully it can be fixed, it's making it so I can't be on much because it gives me a headache.
It's like the text starts at one size and shifts to adjust.
And only in the middle of the page, I haven't noticed the sidebox changing.
I try not to think. It interferes with being nuts.
I think it's related to the Javascript / JQuery "on document ready" thingy.
$( document ).ready()
Something is loading very slow. Don't know what it is, but it's delaying the document ready event, which causes the Javascript to kick in late, which will make stuff blink/shift/resize on the page.
It's probably related to the shop search button problems (when buying items for quests from user shops via shop search page, I sometimes have to click the button 2-3 times before it registers as a click, probably because the Javascript handling the button click isn't active yet) and battle problems (errors popping up that you've selected too many weapons when starting the battle, auto select kicking in late) I'm seeing. It's all Javascript being delayed / much slower than it used to be.
I don't have much time right now, but maybe later I can try to see what is slowing down the page load.
On the page to start a battle, it took my browser 7.31 seconds to completely load the page. It sais: DOMContentLoaded: 1.29 s load: 3.40 s Whatever that might mean. I can't really see any individual things that take a long time that make any sense to me. What took almost one second was an XHR request to: https://n.subeta.net/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=Mo0JLr5&sid=54PoDEcUmx6FgudtaSpR But that seems to be there on every page load.
Right, so after some googling, I read that the DOMContentLoaded corresponds to the document ready event. 1.29 seconds doesn't seem bad for a complicated page like the one where you start a battle from. Maybe it's a browser issue, or some piece of javascript is taking a long time doing whatever it's doing. I'm using Firefox 68.0.1 on Win 10.
12th august, at 4:37pm: I noticed the site's been loading a bit better now. So I tried to load the page to start a battle again. DomContentLoaded: 1.10s load: 2.32s Completed: 6.32 s Seems a bit better than the previous trial. Still seems slower than it used to, sometime before the Gelatin War.
Ignore me. Posted something then realised it was already said, sorry
Win 7 , desktop, Firefox, no adblock on Subeta
For me the pages "just" up and to the left. The status bar in the bottom left corner always, always says it is waiting for images.subeta.net. I have noticed when I am trying to do battle quests (crap, I forgot today!) that even when it does the jump and the page appears to be loaded it is held up until the preselect notices are complete. Only then can I actually start a battle. Which, I understan that is how it should be, theoretically, but it should not take up to a full minute or more for that all to complete.
EDIT: I just removed all my css and it didn't fix anything :(
That resize thing happens to me as well, but weirdly it's only an issue on Firefox at home. It REALLY messes me up at the training center and always leaves me at the bottom of the page. I use Firefox at work, no problem. I use Chrome at home only for Subeta, no problem. But Firefox at home? Weirdness and functionality issues.
I just updated to Firefox 68.0.2, and my issues seem to have stopped. I'm not sure whether it was the Firefox update, since I hadn't payed attention before, and I can't remember how the situation was this morning.
If I look at my network tab again for the page to start battles on: DomContentLoaded: 1.65s Load: 1.87s Completed: 2.57s
This is a huge difference to what I saw before. Since the DomContentLoaded is similar to what I saw before, but the stuff that happens afterwards is way faster, it might be a Firefox issue. I guess that's the time that Firefox needs to build/render the page, which seems drastically reduced now. I still see the xhr requests taking 922 and 587ms, so those are still there. Nothing seems changed on Subeta's part.
