The Inspirations feed is shuffled on purpose. Nothing is being lost and nothing is reordering itself under you: the feed opens on the Magic sort, and Magic drops you at a random point near the top of the collection rather than at the beginning of it.
What Magic actually does
Images sit in one order, newest first, 24 to a page. When you open Inspirations with no search and no category selected, Magic picks a page number between 1 and 50 at random and starts you there. Scrolling on from that point continues in the same newest-first order.
So every visit begins somewhere inside the most recently added 1,200 images, and two visits are unlikely to begin in the same place. Everything is still there. You came in through a different door.
Getting a fixed order instead
Open the sort control and choose Latest or Oldest. Both are fixed orders that start in the same place every time and never jump you forward. Latest is the setting to use when you are working through the feed across several sittings and want to know where you stopped.
Searching, or selecting anything under Browse By, also leaves Magic behind. Those results always begin at the first page and are ordered by how closely each image matches, so repeating a search brings back the same images at the top.
Why it sometimes looks like the shuffle has stopped
Each page of the feed is held for 5 minutes after it is built. Refresh twice in quick succession, land on the same page number both times, and you get the same images. Wait a moment, or switch the sort and switch back.
Finding an image you scrolled past
An image you did not open is genuinely hard to return to, because the feed will not be in that position again and saving images is not available at the moment. Two things do work:
- Open it while you still have it. Selecting an image opens the work it came from in a new tab, and that page has a fixed address you can bookmark.
- Search for its tags. The words shown under an image are exactly what search matches on, so two of them together will usually bring it back.
