"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!

Attempted to shut off the horrid auto scroll and get the following error every time I try to access the options menu.
Error: Undefined constant "threadview" in ..../profile.php(4959) : eval()'d code on line 286

No, it's different. I can't really describe it well, but it's hard to scroll and read a post on iOS as it can jump back a few days. I don't experience such behavior with Chrome on Android.

What's going on? My FT desktop layout was perfect yesterday, and now looks wide and stretched out. Also the option to disable Infinite Scroll has disappeared. How do I revert back to the old layout? Strongly dislike this one.

I am a user who uses full site on iOS in order to avoids Automatic scroll. The challenge is that when you get to the thread level it is not possible to scroll right and left in order to see all the content and the content gets cut off. I suspect this is do to some hard coded width or something in CSS or something of that nature.

The infinite scroll is easily disabled by unchecking it under Thread Display Options in My FlyerTalk.

I understand you don't care for it. Neither do I. But these decisions are based purely on analyitics data, not meant to put anyone off.

Whenever we make changes like that, that no one has specifically asked for, it's usually a business decision that's aimed at keeping FlyerTalk profitable and free for all users.
