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. JDiver, Co-Moderator |
The issue is apparently that you cannot disable infinite scroll on the mobile view. I like the mobile view just fine other than that.
Any advicr? |
You can use the mobile view, or you can use the desktop view and disable infinite scroll. That's the choice.

Why not offer this option on both views? We already have page controls on the mobile view...

Because the alternative is that a frequent user of the FT mobile skin puts up with all of this on a daily basis and thinks to themselves "yup, nothing at all wrong with this experience! Great job folks!" and thinks this is awesome UX. |

My belief is that no one at IB spends any meaningful amount of time on the FT mobile site as a user, i.e. looking for travel info/discussions, doing searches, and actively participating on a daily or near-daily basis. Or if they do, they don't apparently care about reading the information that has been organized in wikis, or advanced thread searches, or anything else that requires being at the top of a thread.

I second this. Would be nice if one could change that.
Or type in the first or last page number at the bottom of the screen, you can navigate there pretty quickly. |

If you just click the double arrows either way at the bottom of the screen, they'll automatically take you to the first or last page.

Yes, I'm aware of that. It doesn't solve the underlying issue though.

When on mobile, the (infinite?) scrolling means that as soon as I scroll up and reach a certain "border" (i.e. where the site switches to a new set of posts) I completely lose track of where I started off. Usually this entails that the site jumps over a few posts which I need to scroll down to again.

Mine seems to randomly take me to another page even when I’m not scrolling (just trying to read a post).

Under the thread display page, I do not see the option to disable infinite scroll anymore. How do I go with disabling it?

Select "disable infinite scroll". Save at the bottom. |
