Same - Infinite Scroll is disabled, and now happens all over again.

I don't like it at all.

Same here. I have it disabled (from the first time) but "infinite scroll" bar/function still appears.
Also, when I change it from the drop menu on the bottom page bar and then move to the next page of a thread, the bar/function pops up again in the new page.

Once it was turned off last week, the option to opt out disappeared too.

If you disabled it last week, you'll need to do it again.

Go to MyFlyerTalk, Edit Options, scroll down to "Disable Desktop Infinite Scroll" and check the box, and SAVE CHANGES.

Mine was checked.

I unchecked it and saved.

Then I rechecked it and saved.

I still have it - on some threads.

If you have it on some threads, then you have it -- it only kicks in when there are 15+ posts in a thread.

Try changing your style picker (lower left corner dropdown) to "FT Desktop".

That works for that one page. But the next page I open (if I click a link in an email) is back to the scroll.

Is it only switching when you click a link in an email?

Please tell us what browser and version you're using, what device, what your style chooser setting is, ensure you have cookies enabled and are not clearing them, and of course be logged in at all times.

If your opt-out is not sticking, please report the sequence of actions you're taking. Thank you.

Any time I change threads, I'm back to the old scroll, whether it's from an email or from the site.

I'm using Chrome 55.0.2883.95 on a Mac.

-- FT-Desktop

Oh, I had this exact same problem too! 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 the default style/skin to FT Desktop ..also dont forget to save!

Hope this helps! :)

I think that did it.

I was using "default" for the Skin.

Thanks!

Thats the solution!

But the admins really need to fix when you "Disable infinite scroll", it should force that across all skins, instead of requiring the user to specify FT Desktop manually.

Fellow FTers come to IT rescue!

Once again the real solution comes from our fellow FTers, not the admin.

Kudos to FTers! ^

I agree 100%, but heck, I'm just really happy that they are giving us the option to turn it off at all. I thought my days as a FTer were over.

We made such a change yesterday. Hopefully that did it!

Every time I disabled it, it comes back after some clicks. why?

I read about go into MyFlyerTalk to disable it. So do I have to login to be able to disable the infinite scroll?

All website I know has this feature is by user to enable it, not as default (forced).:td:
