The steam store "all item" list clears itself when you scroll back up. How to prevent that ? (youtu.be)

It is extremely frustrating. I just wanted to evaluate the whole list one by one and not miss one.

But no, it makes you click "more" every 10 items and then it wipes itself when you scroll back up.

You win steam, I give up and won't buy anything, happy ?

Why do you need to scroll up? Are you not opening interesting links as you go?

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 months ago

No, I want to go through the list, go to tabs, come back and forth without losing my place in the list.

In the end, I opened the list in my browser, just opened every single link and now am going through the list of tabs instead.

Submit a bug report to Steam.

I think it's like that on purpose. To disorient the customers so they'll rely on the algorithm choosing for them.

It is pretty shit at remembering search filters in general, e.g. the Linux platform filter or the co-op filter constantly reset for me and have for years.

I use SteamDB for browsing games. At least you can find exactly what you want that way.

Worked great thanks!

No problem!

Start sf the bottom.

Infinite scrolling is an antipattern.

Also, "how to" is an explanation, and "how do you" is a question.
