"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!

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.

Or type in the first or last page number at the bottom of the screen, you can navigate there pretty quickly.

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.

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.
