I still get infinite scroll inflicted upon me when I visit FT for the first time in a while by going directly to a thread. (e.g. I haven't visited FT for a few days and click on a google search result.) Refreshing the screen gets rid of the extraneous infinite scroll junk, but it'd be nicer if it never appeared at all.

I have infinite scroll turned off but sometimes it appears and has a funny behaviour. The footer section keeps on resizing, going full width of the browser window and a few moments later back to width of the design, repeated endlessly. Se animated gif below.
(Currently on Firefox 48, Mac os 10.8)

Mine's a bit more subtle. When the infinite scroll footer is displayed, the page scrolls up the page by 1 pixel every 4 seconds or so.

Firefox 54, MacOS 10.12.5

It doesn't happen when the footer is not displayed, but if you click on forum links from the front page, you get the footer regardless of your infinite scroll settings. So if you have infinite scroll off, you get the footer, but no infinite scroll. The footer goes away as soon as you click the next page.

Thanks guys, these IS oddities have been reported to tech. I couldn't get the footer to appear, but did experience that "twitching" you mentioned.

If I open a page and leave it untouched for a certain amount of time, say 10+ minutes, the next link I click will be infinite scroll. The following link after that will be normal.. Been happening since forever ago actually.

Infinite scroll keeps turning itself on. I'm using Safari 10.1.1 on MacOS 10.12.5 on both systems, a Mac Mini and a MacBook Pro. I can be using FT and then go to a different forum and it turns itself on. Sometimes it doesn't. I have my options set to not use infinite scroll.

OK, sounds like that bug that was randomly turn on IS is back. We will investigate. Thank you both

Still having the problem, it has been worse the past few days.

I generally use a mobile device.

On both my iPhone and iPad Air 2, using Safari (both iOS and browser with latest updates) I am periodically dumped into the "Infinite Scroll" regardless of my settings and indicated preferences through MyFlyerTalk.

It's not a huge problem, but it is tiresome and a PITA.

Same here. Really dislike "Infinite Scroll" and it's a pain to constantly being having to turn it off. Wish they'd just get rid of it, makes browsing FT annoying.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that this is a minor bug that occurs randomly, a fix is not imminent. However, it is known to our tech team. It might just not be resolved if they can't replicate it. I have given them all relevant information.

To mitigate it, you can stay logged in (although I know that's not an option for everyone) and not clear your FT cookies.

Minor bug ?

I get that on my 2 phones, 2 browser (Chrome and Firefox Android on Sony Xperia Z5 AND new Samsung Galaxy S8).

It's really annoying.

Ask your technician to read the forum on their phone, it will happen.

On Mobile Device(s), the login session is only valid for 30 minutes, counting from "inactivity". Does this sound like the issue you're having?

Any idea why on my desktop after restarting chrome I'm back in infinite scroll mode?

That's annoying. This is ongoing, though I've never posted it.
