"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!

No matter what I do, or what I try, every few days, I am knocked back to the awful infinite scroll version. Doesn't take long to fix, but why can't this choice be sticky?

Right, that's the problem, and it's not like you aren't logged in either.
Sometimes it's in inf scroll, but the box at the bottom says Desktop, and you have to switch it to Inf Scroll and then back to Desktop.

If you don't turn it off first thing, does it stay on, even if you go to a different thread? Or does it go back to normal?

The problem I'm running into, is that I can hit "refresh" on the same thread and it will switch over to infinite view. Happens most frequently when I've woken my computer from either hibernate or sleep. But not always. Safari was updated yesterday, so I'm not sure if this will continue after or not.

Page layout issues
Whenever I view FT and I'm not logged in, the page will randomly push the content down the page, every 5 seconds or so, it will edge further down and continue to do this. Turning off the stupid infinite scroll works, until I change page, then it's turned back on. I did mention this months ago, but it hasn't been addressed.
