I stand by my hubris comment & your response continues to show (IMO) the hubris & disdain shown by IB to FTers.
The majority of members don't even know technical support exists nor that there's a place to complain, so because they don't you think they're ok w/ the change. NOT a good assumption. They don't know how to turn it off because you provided the info in a forum that 99.9% of FTers don't even know exist.!!!
Also, more importantly, regular FTers who contribute a lot (and whom seem to have a lot more tech savvy than IB) have continually complained that infinite scroll can only be turned off if logged in, but often FTers don't log in to read FT. They just do so when they want to post. So for those who are not logged in - which is actually a lot as we discovered when TB existed on a different topic & now w/ this - they're screwed & have to deal w/ the mess of infinite scroll/its problems. So your comment that you provided instructions doesn't totally apply because if it did, it would apply to those who weren't logged in.
