The Tech feedback forum is alight because of the new changes. It started getting a bit better last night after the new changes were implemented but still seems there are quite a few bugs and other issues to iron out.
I’m not a fan and would like the choice of going back to the previous version and the infinite scroll is something I detest with a vengeance. To switch it off, go to My Flyertalk->Settings & Options->Edit Options->Thread Display Options->Disable Infinite Scroll.

My biggest beef is that the site as a whole is much slower to load and more data heavy. I agree completely that infinite scrolling is evil. At least we can turn it off. Thanks Saltire74 for the location of the flip switch.

Is there anyone else like me who's so much of an avgeek they try to keep a running list of every aircraft and tail number they've been on? And finds out which airframe they've flown the most miles on? Because it's not enough to collect airports, tail numbers are way more fun! 
I think I'm almost to the point where I've traveled more miles on A388's than 77Ws now.

I wish I did but feel likes it's too late to start. I've definitely travelled way more in 77Ws, 95% of my EK flights are in 77Ws. I do look up the registration of the aircraft before the flight and check if there's WiFi and which version of ICE, and have a vague idea of which ones I've been one and recognize them, also from the tail number sometimes immediately know what version of ICE it'll be
And it's never too late. I mean, you could always carve your initials in the lav somewhere to remember instead...

I keep an eye on Flightradar24 to check what aircraft I’m about to get on in Aus, mostly to see what ICE I have. When I’m flying in and out of GLA I’m constantly living in hope of getting the new J seats on the 77W.
My most travelled frame is A6-EEU.

SFO gets almost all O* and a rare E* frame. Still waiting for an U* frame for the new bar, but they only have one ULH frame (UV) iirc.

Cute video on the Cirrus. What's hilarious is in the comments one guy asking if they're getting a fleet of them and terminals and another replying it's probably more like a private jet or to get to closer airports...lol. [It's for training in case anyone seriously hadn't figured that out]

Just popping in to say that this post is my 2000th post since joining Flyertalk. A milestone I never thought I would achieve. Might reach Evangelist status by the time I’m 80
