Answered This individual scrolling isn't good IMO on the home page.

Its making me feel uneasy though I am open to know the perspective of other fellow members .

I don't mind to much.

It was done to even out the height of the separate feeds as our other attempts to do didn’t yield the results we were looking for.

It’s only like this on the desktop version of the site.

I would like to see what other members think about it, though.

This made me realize I instinctively move my mouse to the very left side of the screen when I scroll. I think this is why. I don't actually mind it that much, but it would be better if the two feeds were at a fixed length so we can just scroll the full page, no matter where the cursor is.

I mean, the scroll only moves down three more threads. Can it not be locked at the full length for 20 threads? I suppose that makes it look asymmetrical due to variations in title sizes, etc. I might prefer that way anyway, even if there is empty space at the bottom of one of the boxes, but I'm not the best person to comment on design choices.

It probably does look better the way it is now, so I don't have a strong opinion on it.

I gave it an upvote, just in case they can figure out a good way to do it.

Yeah, that’s exactly right. When it was at a fixed length with a fixed number of threads, the feed elements were uneven still for that reason.

Personally, I’d prefer for it to not have a scroll bar as it’s the best option in terms of usability.

We can take another look at evening out the feeds without the scroll bar this week.

Scroll bars hide content, so I consider them counter-productive unless on a site-like Youtube with infinite feed. Pagination is good for finite list of items. If possible, latest posts should have fixed length and right sidebar can be shorter or can have scroll bar if it doesn't sync with the main feed. Having scroll bars for both is odd.
