Ugh. Looks like they haven't fixed it. Go back to the screenshot I made and set the forum skin to FT Desktop as the default skin is still infinite scroll. And like always don't forget to save!

Be sure you have read the post above by pushmyredbutton, reproduced in the Wikipost.

Yes, you have to go to MyFlyerTalk to disable it, and you can only do that if you are logged in.

This is all set out clearly in the 3rd post in this thread, which is here:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/27783234-post3.html

When infinite scroll was first rolled out, I disabled it immediately. All was well since then. But for the last couple days, every thread once again defaults to infinite scroll. It is still checked as disabled in "My Flyertalk". Yes, I am logged in. What else can I do? I can't stand this feature.

EDIT: Ok, I hadn't seen the second part of the wiki and now I'm good. Only opting out worked last month. I'm not sure why the second step with the skin needed to be done just in the last couple days.

Someone, not naming names here, set the default skin to infinite scroll instead of FT Desktop. As a result of that, opting out wouldn't work as it would revert to that style anyways.

I followed the wiki very specifically. I still getting the infinite scroll, despite setting the "FT Desktop" and "Disable Infinite Scroll." The real issue though is the infinite scrolling giving me this task bar at bottom of the Web page. Thus, is taking up space and reducing the usable screen sizes.

Does anybody have a recommendation?

It seems the infinite scroll not too popular. Perhaps the "FT Desktop" can be set to default, and the "Infinite Scroll" should be the opt-in. Not other way around.

Plus, now I required to log in even if not replying to thread or posting.

Thank you. Have the good day.

I have the infinite scroll turned off. Sometime in the last few hours it has reappeared for me when logged in - despite having it disabled. And yes, my default is also set to FT Desktop. Basically every annoying thing that I had turned off has reappeared.

Same here, but happens only when I visit these two sticky threads about infinite scroll and trending forum home page & only in Technical Support and Feedback Forum.

Not sure how IB rolls out any feature with such inconsistent behavior. :confused:

ETA:
It happens to another sticky thread in TravelBuzz as well:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...ry-region.html

Same as the above posts, settings are as per the wiki and saved, but the infinite scroll skin reappears. I see the settings page says some forums may override your skin choice, so some clarification on that would be helpful.

There's another intrusion at the bottom of the screen occasionally too, with a Forum Jump box. Is this related or do I need another fix to get rid of it?

Win 10 Home Edition, Firefox 51.0.14 (32 bit)

Same here. It seems this fix is no longer working for me either. Let me do a quick doublecheck. Ugh. :mad::o

In the meantime, appologies to FT admins, I have resorted to having ABP and NoScript blacklist those modules so they dont run. It simply gets way too obnoxious having it hinder my otherwise productive and entertaining time on FT.

(underline mine)

Please share us non-techies how to do this so we may enjoy our usual FT again. Thank you!

(BTW, I do have ABP.)

All you need to do is add "?styleid=17" to the end of any Flyertalk URL.

:cool: For those with Greasemonkey, a simple script for you. You no needing to be logged in for this to be effective.

Here you go:



// ==UserScript==
// @name Flyertalk_Remove_Infinite_Scroll
// @match *://*.flyertalk.com/*
// @run-at document-start
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==

var oldUrlPath = window.location.pathname;

/*--- Test that "?styleid=17" is at end of URL, excepting any "hashes"
or searches.
*/
if (window.location.href.toString().indexOf("?styleid =17") != -1) return false;
if ( ! /\?styleid=17$/.test (oldUrlPath) ) {

var newURL = window.location.protocol + "//"
+ window.location.host
+ oldUrlPath + "?styleid=17"
+ window.location.search
+ window.location.hash
;
/*-- replace() puts the good page in the history instead of the
bad page.
*/
window.location.replace (newURL);
}



Note that there is no space between any of the ?styleid=17 in the above. For some reason the Flyertalk forum putting space between ?styleid and =17. I have it removed here, but always shows back up.

Oh thanks. And now I can whitelist this site again on ABP. For those who didn't know, you just click on block an ad on this page" then select the two I.S. modules
The only annoying thing about it is that the script has to autoreload the page for it to take effect, hence increasing page load times. Sometimes even it gets stuck in a refresh loop so you have to disable it after the first run. -If we can find a way around that, we're in the clear. Anyways: HUGE +1 for the script ^^^

While we're at it we might as well make a script where everytime you type in FT search, it replaces the page with google and "site:flyertalk.com {search query}" in the search bar.

Posts scrolling automatically
 

When I am using the forum when viewing a forum post, the page scrolls up by itself a small amount every 3 seconds. Since other forum pages work OK, it might have something to do with the thread tools - for example for this post, scrolling doesn't occur. It only seems to occur when the thread tools bar is active at the bottom of the page.

Thread example - any, so here is just a random thread:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...k-staffer.html

Here is an example of what happens. Screenshot 1 is of the forum post, Screenshot 2 is 12 seconds later, as the page jerks up a tiny amount every 3 seconds.

I disabled my Adblocker program (and will keep it disabled to support the site), but this has not resolved the issue. I don't have any problems viewing other websites, and I do not use many additional plugins.

Since you don't have any other reports it is probably a problem unique to me, but could you test it anyway?

Browser: Google Chrome Version 56.0.2924.87

When testing in IE, the problem didn't happen.
