Hello and thank you for any assistance. There is a website I use every day which has an annoying characteristic. Every time the landing page starts, after I log in, the vertical position begins down already. I've read this is called an anchor tab. The vertical scrolling position loads with the scrollbar already down about 2 inches from the top of the page, with the browser scrollbar moved down automatically. I would like to find a way to disable this, or counterdict it, so the initial scrolling position is always on the top.

Well, it's been quite a while and I suppose nobody can help us. Another person said they have the same issue.

Thanks anyway, good luck with your problems.
