Thanks for posting this; I just opted out of this annoying feature.

Why are the margins so weird, there's so much white space off to the right side as well.

I love how I go from starting yesterday raving about Slack bringing threaded messages which were executed so beautifully to this.

I don't mind the bar at the bottom though; however it does occasionally glitch during scrolling.

Thanks, that works to shut it off!

Using Firefox on a Mac this feature seems to fill the Firefox back arrow list with a large number of instances of the "page" being viewed rendering the button useless.

please do not get rid of (please bring back) "quick reply"

Me too. Mobile FT is now in practical terms unusable for me, unless you keep selecting "Mobile Site" with every button push.

I see it, as well. It's been reported and will be fixed.

Clicking "first unread post" in My FlyerTalk no longer brings me exactly to my first unread post. It brings me "near" it, but sometimes it's to the middle of a slightly older post or to the middle of a slightly newer post

When I clicked the new reply link, a reply box popped up but I wasn't able to enter anything in it...very annoying. :mad: Thanks for providing instructions to disable infinite scroll. I now have my quick reply box back and am happy again :)

Until I disabled, I was unable to access any of the forums. I got this error message:

vBulletin datastore error caused by one or more of the following:

You may have uploaded vBulletin 3.6 files without also running the vBulletin upgrade script. If you have not run the upgrade script, do so now.

The datastore cache may have been corrupted. Run Rebuild Bitfields from tools.php, which you can upload from the do_not_upload folder of the vBulletin package.

This literally just happened and was for a very short window while I was restarting caching systems on the site. This should be a non-issue at this time. Thank you for reporting.

Low Roller, what operating system are you running? And desktop or mobile? I was unable to find this error, but it may be device-dependent.

Josh, thank you for this, we'll check it out!

I'm too old to adapt to changes anyway, but I have to say that the presentation on iPad is NOT good. The contrast on the button
-bar at the bottom of the page is dreadful. Yes, I know this is a desktop version, but I detest [with a deep detest] the Mobile version.

Glad to see up-thread how to deny this 'enhancement'. I'll stick to the old FlyerTalk, thanks.
