The cursor appears there when I try to type above whatever fits into the text box (such as what I’m doing now).
Im able to move the cursor anywhere I want but as long as its above whatever content that fits into the text box, it immediately jumps back up there (and hiding whatever I’m typing as I type) the moment I start typing.

The text box problem is something I'm still testing and working on, so please bear with me.

I can't read through threads properly without the thread jumping around. This may already have been raised, but since I can't read through threads without the thread jumping around...I can't tell. Yesterday, I kept being taken to odd posts when I tried to read a thread (not the last post read or the first or the last in a thread), which was bad enough; today is worse. In one thread, I kept trying to scroll to the top and couldn't; the thread kept popping down to the bottom. Also, I've tried going to several pages and they won't load. I can access some of them by getting to them via a thread, just not through the forum itself.

I did not go through all 600+ posts here... I'm getting several blank pages when I try read certain forums... such as Premium Fare Deals...

Since infinite scroll cannot be disabled on mobile, is there a fix for the issue I raised earlier?
I’m using FT on mobile to read trip reports that are extremely image heavy (think SFO777). Ever since the upgrade, every time I scroll up one line, the previous 1 or 2 page will load, taking up a massive amount of mobile data when I’m not on wifi. I also experienced this phenomenon in other sub forums such as this one.
Also, when I open a TR and jump to the previous page I was reading (I.e. skip to page 6), it takes a really long time to start loading images on that page, leading me to think that pages 1-5 are loading in the background as well but I could be wrong about this.
I’m not sure if it’s an enhancement thats designed to happen or a bug. Either way, I’m not sure it’s necessarily a positive change in most parts of the world where we do not have unlimited mobile data plans.

Scroll to bottom, click "View Full Site".
Disable Infinite Scroll should now appear in this skin.
You usually have to zoom in to read stuff on a phone, but it will curb data usage/

Zoom in a little and scroll left and right while reading I genuinely hope that this is a temporary solution while you guys fix the scrolling issue. The way that infinite scroll was handled previously on mobile (one page up when you attempt to scroll above the top of the first post in this page and one page down when you attempt to scroll beyond the bottom of the last post of the page) was perfect. I could always gauge when to stop scrolling after reading the last post as to not load the next page.
