"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!

No such option is provided to disable. I jave one to disable mobile skin. However the option above doesn't appear. I use on a phone and can't use since it keeps switching.

*sigh* I know some people dislike the mobile interface, but I actually WANT to use the mobile interface when I'm on my phone, and the full desktop interface when I'm on my desktop. This used to work, but now I can't get mobile to stick on my phone.
I try to be sympathetic, because I know different people have different preferences, you can't please everyone, etc., and I've worked in software for 20+ years. But it honestly sometimes feels like you guys haven't even heard of the concept of usability testing. "This works great if you use it in the exact one way we thought of. Ship it!"

Yeah no one was clamoring for infinite scroll in the user poll last summer.

"Hey let's ask what users most want to improve their FT experience, and then spend time and money working on something that's not only completely different but one of the worst ideas out there!!"
But at least we can opt out, so I guess that counts as a "win" anymore. Not that anyone will be able to find the option once the sticky announcement is gone.

Is there any way to turn this new feature off? The concept works well when viewing Flyertalk on my phone, but it's absolutely horrible on my desktop PC at work.
