Larger Forum Titles, please
Hello,
I am suddenly seeing a list of trending topics, and the forum list is scrammed to the left side. How do I change that?
It is much harder to find the right forum this way, and I'd just like to see the forum list as it was before. Thank you.

Post # 2 in particular will answer your question.
Don't click on #2 above - FT is treating it like a hashtag for some dumb reason, and I have no idea how to make it not do that.

You are not the first to ask this.
There is a post in thread some where on how to turn these unwanted features off
Maybe here

In the last decade have yet come across any new FT feature that is an improvement to me.
If it ain't broke don't fix it

Yes,
Every time I scroll down, the new continuous thing makes the page jump back about 2 posts, this happens on every page when it reaches the end of the new scroll thing and loads another page
Also, a few posts before, I mentioned that even if you change layout when not signed in, it changes with every link click or page change - this is still happening. If I change to regular desktop when not signed in, it changes to infinite scroll with every click. This doesn't seem to happen when signed in.

I'm late to this thread, I guess, I finally got annoyed enough by the new trending page to search for the solution (and I'm glad to learn I can turn it off, and like others I wish it were opt-in).
But as far as why I don't like it - it's not that it's bad, but I liked the old forum home page better. I have my favorite forums subscribed and see just those on My Flyertalk. But sometimes I want to browse and see what's happening elsewhere, and I like the one-most-recent-post-per-forum view that the old forums page shows, rather than "trending" topics which is dominated by a small number of forums (I'm looking at you, BA).
What really frustrated me is that with this new option enabled, there seemed to be no way to get that old forum home page. Whichever choice you make in the user options, there should be navigation available to both the old show-all-forums page and the new trending-topics page.
