"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!

My scroll just stops and I can’t even enter next page to move forward. Just cannot continue at all. Refresh doesn’t help. iPhone 11 iOS. This is as far as I go in this thread (but happens in all threads). Edit: now that I’ve posted this reply, you can see the posts in between that wouldn’t show. This screenshot was taken when I posted this and was the last visible post.

Has there been a change made to scrolling recently? I finally got used to the scrolling past my "40 posts per page" and now it seems that it does not do that any more. I normally go to the last post in the thread and just scroll back from there. Now when I hit the "top" of my current page it stops and I have to click on previous page.

Biggest downside is that there are no next buttons on the mobile version either, so I can just see the first and last page of a thread.

It's not obvious, but if you tap on the numbers in between the << and >> where it says e.g. "23/24" to show you're on page 23 of 24 or whatever, you can type in the number of the next page. This is a horribly cumbersome workaround though, so hopefully either they fix infinite scroll soon, or better yet, nest single-page controls inside the first/last controls, like << < 23/24 > >> so that people who don't want infinite scroll on mobile can have an option too.

Is there any reason the breaking change can't simply be rolled back, to restore the previous functionality, while the fix is being worked on? Then you can re-deploy the original change plus the fix at the same time once you have it.

I can confirm infinite scroll now works on my mobile. It's still not marking pages as read though. I've tried on 2 threads, if there are more than one page, I need to refresh once on the following pages to mark them as read.

Just noticed there was a thread dedicated to infinite scroll, so I'll continue the report here instead.
Apostrophes are being rendered into multiple spaces, and it seems to occur more frequently with specific users. It occurs on macOS and Chrome, but not Windows and Chrome. On Firefox, the apostrophes are deleted completely (e.g. That's --> Thats).
