It was reported in the Wikipost Problems Master thread (see post#6 for admin's response).

why does the wiki post have to show up on every page? it's very annoying when the post is large, like in http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/credi...first-169.html
other forums just show it on page 1 - people know it's there when they need it, and don't have to skip down on every page.
...
The minimize is good. It would be better if it still left it open on page 1 so that you didn't have to toggle it again when you needed it (and then remember to toggle it off again).
I also see "Wikipost Hide All" under our Options settings. It'd be nice to make this a tri-state option: hide, show, show only on page 1.

not sure about the new fix to wiki posts (it shrinks down after a second or so). It causes the 'go to first new post' and 'go to last post' to end up in the wrong spot. It might be easier to only show the wiki on page 1, instead of having to invent ways to keep it out of the way on every page.
However, I do agree the new functionality is buggy as you describe and needs to be fixed. AFAIK, IB is aware of the problem.

ok, that's good news! The first half dozen times I didn't even know what had happened and just assumed I had accidentally scrolled or paged down after loading the page. lol
