"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!

What ever is the purpose of this? If using on a tablet, it is completely superfluous. On a normal desktop with mouse it is largely useless.

When new features are in the works, we make every effort to weigh business and community considerations, and then make a decision based on our best possible balance between both.
In the case of Infinite Scroll, opt-out was the best choice for our purposes, and to give every user a shot at trying something they might otherwise never have bothered to even turn on.

Also hate this new feature especially since it screws up my back button (apparently every time it scrolls it adds another entry to the back queue, at least in Chrome, making back button unusable). Opting out. I wish it would be opt in period since now if I browse without being logged in I'm stuck with this bad behavior.

Edit: actually they are still there but I think other posts have been moved into this thread.

Agree with Pitflyer on this. This new "feature" completely makes it impossible to use the back button. Instead of trying to do both (infinite scroll and finite messages per page), in the option where you can select the number of posts to see per page, just add an "All" as an option.
1. Are you using a mobile device?
2. When you click and hold "Back" in your browser, does it display as:
"Page 2
Page 3
Page 2
Page 3
Page 2
Page 3" (for example)

I don't mind trying new things, but having some problems with this (using Safari on iPad). Apart from the irritation when the page flickers as you get to the bottom, when I try to post using the reply or quick reply links, it always quotes a post in the box (not necessarily the last one). I'm not going to delete text every time I post. If I'm doing something wrong, please tell me, otherwise I will opt out until that is fixed.

2: It was showing the same thread for each but the page number was out of the box and I have now disabled the option.

I have always wanted infinite scroll (I hate pages), but am not seeing it on my laptop in Chrome.
ETA:
Ok, I logged out and back in. Now I can scroll down two full pages at a time (for me, that's 80 posts), but it will not go any farther. If I start at the top of page 1 I can get to post 80 by continuously scrolling, but then I have to select page 3, at which point I can scroll to post 160 but it again stops.
Maybe it wasn't tested in the scenario where one has selected more posts/page than the default, as I have?
