NOTE: Selecting the Mobile Skin / display format will activate Infinite Scroll.

Opting out of "FT Desktop Infinte Scroll" skin:

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:

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!

For those with Greasemonkey, a simple script for you. You no needing to be logged in for this to be effective.

Here you go:


Code:
 // ==UserScript==
 // @name        Flyertalk_Remove_Infinite_Scroll
 // @match       *://*.flyertalk.com/*
 // @run-at      document-start
 // @grant       none
 // ==/UserScript==
 
 var oldUrlPath  = window.location.pathname;
 
 /*--- Test that "?styleid=17" is at end of URL, excepting any "hashes"
 or searches.
 */
 if (window.location.href.toString().indexOf("?styleid=17") != -1) return false;
 if ( ! /\?styleid=17$/.test (oldUrlPath) ) {
 
 var newURL  = window.location.protocol + "//"
 + window.location.host
 + oldUrlPath + "?styleid=17"
 + window.location.search
 + window.location.hash
 ;
 /*-- replace() puts the good page in the history instead of the
 bad page.
 */
 window.location.replace (newURL);
 }

Under the old screen/format, I could at least see all the different pages, albeit one at a time. The way it is now, Flyertalk is useless to me. I have received the best information using this site, both directly and indirectly. Hopefully someone does something, otherwise I will have to see if I can find something that hopefully comes close to Flyertalk, which I doubt I can.

edit to add: I can only get the first and last page of a thread. Nothing in between. Can IT just do a reset for me?

What browser/device are you on?

BXK, you might fix the mobile skin issue by clicking on this link: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/prof...ons&styleid=24

Thank you. That is what I have been looking for. It was no longer available to me when I went to Mobile skins. I used to have the infinite scroll on this version, but it stopped a few days ago, but now I can go page by page if I have to.

Chrome both on Android and Windows. EDIT: it's intermittent.

The last unread pointer issue is still consistently there though!

If you use private/incognito browsing, do these issues persist?

Yes, just tried an incognito session, new login, and it's not possible to scroll through a "page" boundary in a newly unread thread.

Gotcha. Could you please post a screenshot of the boundary where you're scrolled all the way down, so I can show tech?

I would, but the paranoid Android overlords seem to think taking a screenshot of an incognito browser window is forbidden. And I didn't realise that until I just tried. Perhaps that's a bug too, but it does pop up a message saying you're not allowed to screen capture this app. Sigh.

There's not a lot to see... The page counter at the bottom shows that you're on page (example) 103/105 and you simply cannot scroll out of the page, no matter how hard you try.

As it's the same in incognito and normal, here's an example screen capture from a normal browser...

Yes, both of them. I can't screenshot because apparently incognito mode prevents Screenshots...

It doesn't. I had a friend try on their device, unfortunately dark mode is not a nice to have for me, it's a medical necessity.

Is there some way to turn off the horrible scrolling funcitonality of this forum?

The perma-scroll feature of this forum instead of dealing with things page by page is really annoying and doesn't make for a better user experience. Is there any way to turn this off from the user end?
