"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!

Disable or make it not the default option. Flyertalk is unusable with it enabled, who likes having their screen jump around to random parts of a thread?! Sometimes doesn't even let you scroll since it automatically kicks you to a different post. Yes I can disable in when I'm logged in, but I tend to use computers that I don't want to login to. And I'd imagine new users visiting Flyertalk for the first time aren't going to put up with a broken website for long.

Why is there no option in edit options to disable infinite scroll? (to merge)
Flyertalk is annoying enough to navigate as the site is a jumbled mess, but what makes it even harder is when you are just trying to scroll up to read a wiki, and it keeps loading new comments you dont want to see. The solutions online talk about disabling infinite scroll (which i believe i've done previously), but that's not an option in my settings anymore. This site is pretty much unusable for me

We’re likely to merge this into the existing Infinite / Automatic Scroll: issues, q&a, disable on desktop version. The illustrations in that thread, reproduced below, still exist right now.

IIRC there used to be a "Go to Wiki" button but maybe that on the paginated site layout. Is there any way to navigate the wiki aside from clicking the "first" button? Obviously scrolling up doesn't help!

I like Infinite Scroll in general, but Search doesn't seem to work within such a thread. That gives me no way of re-finding a comment of mine after subsequent activity puts it somewhere in the middle of the thread.

Are you referring to "Search Within Thread" or Ctrl(Apple)+F/"Find in Page"?

I actually love infinite scroll but it is hard to get to the wiki once you're down in the weeds. For example, Google searches often pick up the nth post of a thread.

If you type in "1" in the "Go to Page" box in the lower right corner, it will take you directly to the wiki.

allow disabling the infinite scroll in threads
I have looked but didnt see a way to disable infinite scroll, sorry if it exists.
Infinite scroll really makes getting back to the top of the page annoying. Would be great to have the option to just have the site act like a normal forum in this regard.
