You can turn off "Trending Homepage" in MyFT. It has been in use for the past several months.

Except mine is still there after turning it off. It worked last time though...

CW, that first one might work. I'll consult our designer.

Yes, on a Wiki page I maintain I added two empty dummy lines followed by "...". That "fixed" it.

Not liking the new format. Was away for a few weeks and come back to find a new format. Trying to go back to first unread post and in some cases (long threads), I am not taken to the first unread post. For example, my last visit was Oct 28, but I'm only taken back to Nov 8 in long threads. Also, long threads no longer seem to have the option for you to choose which page to go to (this would be a workaround for the problem I just mentioned) or at least I can't figure out how to choose a page - no number of pages is shown within the thread.

This is as designed. "First New Post" goes back one week to keep from being too overwhelming.

If you go to "MyFlyerTalk", then "Edit Options" and disable infinite scroll, the page numbers will return.

Thank you.

Here's another one. But I really would love the border to go away. Obviously the second one in the first post is tongue-in-cheek, but that's what I really want. Is there a reason that it can't be turned off for individual users?

I'm sure you know that many users are using a method to get rid of likes on desktop that directly impacts your revenue.

If you have suggestions on how to make likes smaller, but still easily legible and clickable, we can look at changing that sometime in the future.

An option to disable Likes would do the trick. But IB appear to hate that idea.

I tried doing it on my end. Although if you are not logged in when you get to the site (ie, you didn't click "keep me logged in"), it will still appear.

This stinks of change for the sale of change. Nobody (other than Contrary Mary / HIDDY) has said they like these changes.

Can everyone provide browser and device info?

IBJoel Nov 15, 2017 3:16 pm

Are you guys logged in when you get to the site on mobile?

I thought that "First new post" only going back one week is something that's been in place for a long time? (As in some years now.) Every thread that's more than one week old is automatically marked read.

This was not a change resulting from the update today, the week-long expiration has been in place for at least a year.

The my content and my threads links are gone from Quick Links. That's... a problem.

Get rid of it. Please.
