Hi, Is there any update on this pull request? I believe this should be a (very) high priority fix for this awesome plugin. This shouldn't be affected by the google guidelines since this fix leaves the html / server side code intact. The websites should still respond to |

@clockworkgeek could you rebase this PR so it's mergeable? |
|
It has been so long I forgot about this! I shall try to bring things up to date soon. |
|
My fork was itself forked by articulate and brought up to date. Would it be suitable to merge that instead? |
|
@clockworkgeek that sounds good to me. thanks again for the help! |
|
Any updates? There are a few workarounds out there like Scroll Frame: https://github.com/artsy/scroll-frame but I would really like to maintain my infiniteScroll setup. |

@Twansparant I'm also looking for the solution, I have tried scroll frame, but it is not working perfect on android device. |

Closing this one because #622 has superseded it. |
Here is an experimental use of sessionStorage. Asynchronous content is cached temporarily (i.e. only until the browser tab or window is closed) and restored whenever infinite scroll is initialised, which is normally on page load. When using the back or forward buttons a browser typically attempts to restore the scroll position after page load, which means the content should have been restored by then. This fixes the biggest complaint of infinite scrolling.
This feature is graceful, it checks for the existence of sessionStorage rather than failing. For better compatibility you can use this sessionStorage shim.
