Removed Infinite Scroll and everything is so much better and faster. Not only were the top and bottom floating bars horrible, the way that it kept loading the pages when you scroll up and down were messing up Quick Reply. You could type 2 sentences and scroll up to look up something in the thread.... page load... scroll back down and your Quick Reply is blank again.

On iPad, the ‘Last Post’ column appears to be taking up more space than the previous version.

It's getting slightly better; no more underlined links. But it still feels very "grey" and the column width isn't tight, creating a dated look.

I think it looks okay to be honest.

As mentioned in separate thread, the "Never use mobile" option seems to be broken. I've started getting that on my phone even though I have the option set.

The Quick Links -> My Threads option has disappeared. Is there an equivalent somewhere that I missed?

I keep getting a message in IE on Win10 about "a long running script". If I wait a while and click Stop then a few moments later I'm told the page is unresponsive, it dies, and reloads.

If I post a Quick Reply then the old text stays in the box, so I didn't just retype the following for instance...

When I click on 'view first unread' or the little blue arrow, it toally cuts off the first unread post. If the reply is short, as in this example, I don't see anything at all. This is what I get:

I see a rather significant feature loss with this upgrade. Previously under My Flyertalk you could click on a link and see all the threads you have posted to. That appears to have disappeared. Unless I am missing it somewhere else? Now there is a link for all the threads you've subscribed to, rather than posted to. Can we get that feature back?
