"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!

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.

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

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.

Oh, I had this exact same problem too! Unfortunately since it's set to be the default style, opting out wont work.

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.

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.

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).
