"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:

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:

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!

For those with Greasemonkey, a simple script for you. You no needing to be logged in for this to be effective.

Here you go:


Code:
 // ==UserScript==
 // @name        Flyertalk_Remove_Infinite_Scroll
 // @match       *://*.flyertalk.com/*
 // @run-at      document-start
 // @grant       none
 // ==/UserScript==
 
 var oldUrlPath  = window.location.pathname;
 
 /*--- Test that "?styleid=17" is at end of URL, excepting any "hashes"
 or searches.
 */
 if (window.location.href.toString().indexOf("?styleid=17") != -1) return false;
 if ( ! /\?styleid=17$/.test (oldUrlPath) ) {
 
 var newURL  = window.location.protocol + "//"
 + window.location.host
 + oldUrlPath + "?styleid=17"
 + window.location.search
 + window.location.hash
 ;
 /*-- replace() puts the good page in the history instead of the
 bad page.
 */
 window.location.replace (newURL);
 }

I'm happy now but I suggest infinite scroll be disabled by default. I see no advantage and it causes a lot of problems and is buggy.

Infinite Scrolling and the suspicious advertising pop-ups are both very bad for us mobile Flyertalk users.

One option is to select "View Desktop Site" at the bottom of a page, then go to User CP and disable Infinite Scroll.

Infinite scroll just came back for me. I'm on desktop, on chrome 65. It's disabled in my flyertalk settings, so I have no way of getting rid of it now. Please fix it, as it makes browsing flyertalk super annoying.

Edit: It seems to come and go.

I’m wondering if your browser cookies could be at fault?

Automatic Scrolling (infinite scroll)

Can we please disable automatic scrolling? Or at least make it an option and not the default?

I'm aware of that, but you must be logged in. The default behavior if you're not logged in is to have infinite scrolling. That's annoying.

I am unable to find where I can stop this infinite scroll madness. There are no options for me for changing Settings under "My Flyertalk"
Help!

As it says in the wikipost at the top of this thread:
  • myflyertalk
  • edit options
  • infinite scroll -- disable
  • save
