- capableweb 6y agoYou're right, there is something called a "scrollbar", but many people don't see it because they are using macOS which for some reason hides the scrollbars by default. Also phones/touchpads don't see scrollbars I think.
- xodice 6y agomacOS does indeed show the scrollbar at all times when a input device other than a touchpad is attached. My desktop Mac never hides the scrollbar, as it uses a normal mouse, however when I was using a Magic Trackpad the scrollbar would indeed hide unless I was actively scrolling. Odd behavior.
- dylan604 6y agoThere's actually a system preference that shows/hides the scrollbar. System Preferences > General > Show scroll bars • Automatically based on mouse or trackpad • When scrolling • Always (because I remember when smart phones didn't exist) I keep mine at option 3 because I'm a dinosaur
- xodice 6y agoGood info, had no clue that was a configurable option. Thanks for the knowledge!
- Bjartr 6y agoIf someone is asking for an scroll indicator, it's safe to assume that, for some reason, the native scroll affordance has been hidden from them.
- wolfgke 6y agoIndeed - but then the person asking should better look in the systems/browser settings; this has nothing to do with the website.
