If we change the display type at the bottom of the page, does that type stick just with that browser (ie, via a saved cookie only in that browser instance)?

I'm thinking I may want different options on iPhone/Chrome vs iPad/Chrome vs desktop/Chrome.

This will be tricky, because there are several detect processes running - Is this user Mobile? etc. The best way would be to configure your userid settings -> I don't ever want to be mobile and -> I don't ever want to use Infinite scroll. Problem with cookies is that they'll most likely be overwritten by the automated detection processes.

Refer to post #3 above -- you must go to MyFlyerTalk to see the opt-out box.

With <15 posts, the QR box is there, no floating toolbar, and the forum jump will be fixed soon so you will see it again in this situation.

didn't realize there's a 'never use mobile skin' option. That's great. I will use that, but it sounds like there's no way to have instance specific style preferences stick. I'll play with it some more later.

ok thanks .. I do see the 'disable' radio button now. Thought I was there before.

This is ludicrous. It finally "hit" for me this afternoon. I used the drop-down to change to the old display view. And any time I load a new thread that preference is lost. By "hiding" the setting in such an obscure location you're screwing users over nicely. :rolleyes:

But at least for those who even know there is a Tech Issues forum and how to find it there's an answer.

Infinite scroll - the worst idea ever on the Internet.

Thank you for allowing opt-out.

Since this update was pushed out, I keep getting redirected to the desktop site on my phone. I've tried selecting "View Mobile Site" at the bottom of the page and selecting both mobile style sheets from the style drop down selector. The page I'm currently viewing reloads with a mobile layout, but when I navigate to another page, it loads with the desktop layout. I double checked my settings and "never use mobile" isn't selected.

Yeah no one was clamoring for infinite scroll in the user poll last summer.

"Hey let's ask what users most want to improve their FT experience, and then spend time and money working on something that's not only completely different but one of the worst ideas out there!!"

But at least we can opt out, so I guess that counts as a "win" anymore. Not that anyone will be able to find the option once the sticky announcement is gone.

I have the same issue on Android 7.0 running with Chrome as browser.

It was probably a quick plugin to install, enable, and tweak. But yeah, I get your point.

On the iPad, once you are onto Page 2 or more, the back arrow no longer works. It's impossible to back to the previous page unless you scroll to the top and choose a specific link.

New pop up bar at bottom annoying, wastes screen space
 

Good grief, this new pop up bar is incredibly annoying! It's especially bad on iPad where it sucks up large amounts of screen space, but no matter what format, it's annoying to have something moving pop up and distract you. Isn't this why moving gifs are frowned on on FT?

Please get rid of this "enhancement."

Thanks!

I whole-heartedly agree !! And, I'm on a full-sized 21 inch monitor (I don't use any "gadgets").

I changed it back to the vB style, but every time I go to a new page it takes it back to the FT Infinite scroll style. It wold be nice to be able to set your preferred default style overall, not just on a per page basis.

The opt-out is announced in every forum.

Glad you found it.

;)

Thank you for the bug reports-- we will address asap!
