Expectations, expectations, expectations. You must be joking:

(emphasis mine)
One question for IB to address:
Since we are not permitted, from users' point of view, to have a poll demonstrating how negatively (or positively) this "upgrade" has impacted our personal use of the web site from Nov. 15th on, is it too much to ask of IB to share with us how the traffic or posting has "boosted" or maintained so far when arguing
zero evidence of downside from a business standpoint?

When browsing posts/threads, the jumping problem still happens, even though not all the time, w/o login, on my laptop using Firefox, FT Desktop version.
When that happens, it's difficult to get to the top of the page or stay on the post I intend to read. I found out by accident if I just need to refresh the current page a few times (maybe 2 or 3), the cursor would behave, so I may go back to my normal browsing. That's my personal fix. Don't know if IB ever comes up with a systematic fix for this persistent problem.
