"FT Desktop Infinite Scroll" feature for desktop viewing introduced Jan 2017
NOTE: Selecting the Mobile Skin / display format will activate Infinite Scroll.
Opting out of "FT Desktop Infinte Scroll" skin:
How to opt out:
If you opt out, your pagination will revert to the “classic” FT Desktop View skin when you are logged into your FT account. Bear in mind that if you visit FT before logging in, you will see the infinite scroll.
To opt out, you can see this post or just go to
My FlyerTalk->Edit Options->Thread Display Options->“Disable Desktop Infinite Scroll”
Click the check box and click SAVE CHANGES.

If infinite scroll is set to default style and you keep reverting to infinite scroll:
... Unfortunately since it's set to be the default style, opting out wont work.
So, with that said, you'll need to go into the "My Options" page and both disable infinite scroll and change your default style/skin to FT Desktop ..also don't forget to save!
Hope this helps!

Is it possible that when this is happening again to you - your session is over and you are logged out? The fix applied is very brute force - but it only honors your "I do not want scroll" setting if you are logged in. The login session does expire if "Remember me" is not checked.

It self invoked a couple of days ago, but in a specific circumstance.
Note I do 'stay logged in'.
I had been viewing a thread on evening and had made a post. I then went away and later to sleep.
Coming back the next day my computer had gone into standby. On waking it up the threaad with my post was still visible, so I refreshed it to see if there had been further posts. The view refreshed but was now in "infinite scroll".
I went to check my settings but they had it turned off.
To be sure, I turned it on logged out then logged back in and turned it off.
It was then OK.
TBH, I can't see why, even those using tablets would want such a resource hungry way to view threads.

I go into a thread with multiple pages and it defaults to infinite scroll, then I hit the refresh button on my browser (Chrome 56.0.2924.87 on Mac 10.12.3) and it goes back to the non-infinite-scroll. I haven't touched any settings and before the "fix" I never saw infinite scroll once I had turned it off.

The same thing this whole thread is about.
I have my settings to NOT use infinite scroll, and everyday it will change on it's own to infinite scroll.
Chrome 57.0.2987.133
I can click on a thread I've been following and it will take me to the first unread post just fine. When I click on the next page of the thread, it sets itself to infinite scroll.

Using an iPad Air II with the latest iterations of iOS and Safari infinite scroll kicks in irregularly about once a day.

If you follow a link from the front page, the infinite-scroll accoutrements are displayed and they imply you're in infinite scroll, but it's not actually infinite-scroll enabled.
Clicking on the next page kills the IS cruft from then on.
