For those who were hoping IB would actually listen to the gazillion complaints re: Infinite scroll & correct it, ah, you (and me) naive folk. Well other things too re: the new software unless it's an actual bug. My observation is that IB continues to do what it wants, regardless if asked for (& never really tested), until they spring it on us. But back to infinite scroll. For those of you who access FT via mobile devices & don't log into FT, you're totally fubar'd/it's going to stay the same lousy way. Too bad, so sad. Time for you to deal w/ it & move on (I only half paraphrase) IB's response.

Please read the following:

So it actually begs the question - should we all be reporting bugs? OTOH, it helps our FT experience (assuming IB actually addresses said issues), but OTOH should we be a) unpaid alpha/beta users for IB; b) help IB when they're willing to say sod off /move on/deal w/ it if they want something & don't care that 99% of FT users don't want it. Interesting conundrum.

Cheers.

That is NOT what it used to be. It was all threads in which I participated, arranged by most recent post (by anyone.) The closest equivalent is "My Recent Posts,"
which only covers 12 posts, far inferior to what it used to be, when it was called "threads," which is actually more descriptive of what several of us are talking about.

No blocker installed. Cache cleared but still happening. The links highlight when hovering the cursor over it, but no response when clicking.

I’v Been getting the cursor and first line of any replies to threads hiding under the banner in the reply box for the past couple of days. On iPad Air2 and assuming it may be some tinkering with trying to resolve bugs from the last update.

Also so unable to attach pictures from the banner on the reply box. Attachment button is unresponsive.

OP in Blue, while Lady in Red...
 

Finally, OP in blue has returned! ^

Still not sure what brilliant mind would replace OP with TS in the hideous yellow jacket to begin with. :rolleyes:

Gread minds observe the same here.

[MENTION=359244]IBobi[/MENTION] I see the same thing using IE11 on a desktop computer:

Same here. Especially for me in WN forum. Using iPhone 6S Plus, iOS 11.1.2.

If I allowed ads, I would wait a long time to be able to read a thread. Not all of us have high-speed internet connections, despite what the ISPs claim. The last time I allowed ads, the first unread post was jumping all over the place as new ads were loaded. On average, it more than doubled the time to load each thread. And I know that all I need to do is move to a place with a higher speed network available and pay more money for it, which seems to be the proposed solution to reported problems ("it works here, duplicate our setup").

Use IE for FlyerTalk? This is the "it works here, duplicate our setup" attitude that I just mentioned. It is up to the content provider (that's FlyerTalk in this case) to provide web pages that work on major browsers and platforms. I can understand some kid not having the resources to test his or her web site, but anyone who wants to pretend to be significant (IB in this case) should ensure that the users can get benefit from the web site without jumping through hoops.

Expectations, expectations, expectations. You must be joking:

(emphasis mine)

One question for IB to address:
Since we are not permitted, from users' point of view, to have a poll demonstrating how negatively (or positively) this "upgrade" has impacted our personal use of the web site from Nov. 15th on, is it too much to ask of IB to share with us how the traffic or posting has "boosted" or maintained so far when arguing zero evidence of downside from a business standpoint?

When browsing posts/threads, the jumping problem still happens, even though not all the time, w/o login, on my laptop using Firefox, FT Desktop version.

When that happens, it's difficult to get to the top of the page or stay on the post I intend to read. I found out by accident if I just need to refresh the current page a few times (maybe 2 or 3), the cursor would behave, so I may go back to my normal browsing. That's my personal fix. Don't know if IB ever comes up with a systematic fix for this persistent problem.

According to tech, this is external to FT. The title of that URL is using encoding on the quotes, so they aren't actually quotes. That's why they come up as ?

Fortunately this is a pretty rare edge case.

The only way I can tolerate browsing the threads using Safari on my iPad is to turn Javascript OFF. This disables many of the site's "features", but at least pages aren't constantly reloading due to errors.

Not for me. E.g. see below (and also in the original post).

This is STILL happening to me as well. I thought it might just be dodgy internet since I've been off the grid a bit, but it is still happening on rock solid connections. This is severely hampering my FT browsing experience as I prefer to open all the threads I want to view in new tabs first, then go through and read them one by one. All of a sudden I might have 20 different tabs, none of which are loading right away. The pages are functional, they just aren't fully rendering.

I'm certain it is an ad issue, but even with all my blockers on and no ads appearing on the page at all, it still happens. Interestingly, it happens less often when logged out.

This is the most absurd thing about all of this. IB's suggestions in the face of every single complaint, criticism or bug has been for the USER to alter THEIR setup. That isn't how this works. I have tried using FT on a fresh install of Firefox that has not been touched in any way and it was awful. I get that it is hard to make everything perfect on every single browser, computer or tablet but "duplicate our setup" is not how anyone should be going about this.

I've reported this to tech on IE and Safari
