Ask HN: Can you fix the page expired nuisance

But then how would you know you have been reading Hacker News for too long?

This has been a known issue for a long time. See PG's responses in this thread:

Knowing why it happens (and as a person who posted in some of those previous years-old threads, I'm familiar with the issue) doesn't make it any less annoying when it does.

I was well aware that there have been other threads, but if we bug them enough they might change it. =)

It is embarrassing that a site visited primarily by technologists has such an amateur bug.

It's not amateur, it's over-engineered.

UX > Code-fu, PG.

The chrome extension is pretty useful, the auto page scroll reduces the annoyance.

Please.
