How do I get to the trending topics page now? It used to be that clicking the 'Flyertalk Forums' link above the 'MyFlyerTalk' link took me there, but now it just takes my to the forum list. I can't find a link to it anywhere.

So is there an option to revert to the old skin after yet another needless "upgrade" that makes the site look worse?

Quoting myself here, apologies

Anything on this? I miss it

It looks like the formatting on this is a bit better (it's now a link to "your post reports", but it still hugs the box too tightly. see here: the formatting still needs more work!

How do I see the list of threads I've posted in?

I used to click on "quick links" and then "my threads" I think. Now I don't see that option.

They look like a pale teal to me on my MacBook Pro Retina, 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display and 30" Apple Cinema Display.
R,G,B = 116, 174, 201 in Photoshop.

OK I found it. I have to go to the arrow next to my name in top right corner and then click on "my recent posts"

When I figured it out, I cam back to this thread to give this update. I had to scroll through 400+ posts to get to the end to see my last post and quote it. How do I stop that, why would anyone ever want to scroll through 400+ posts?

EDIT: Disable infinite scroll in MyFlyerTalk . Got it.

Put me down as not liking the change

I’m on safari, iOS11. The option to disable infinite scroll doesn’t exist when I click on the link. In other news, I can’t see what I’m typing because the cursor keeps jumping to a place hidden by the toolbar as seen in this attachment:



In addition to my previous feedback, which was never replied to or addressed, I’m encountering the same issues as C W as well. Even when scrolling this help thread.

It looks very turquoise on iPhone X running iOS11.1 with True Tone on. Looks more green to me.

Here is the link if you want to bookmark it to access it directly: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trending.php

That page is typically how I access FT so seeing it apparently completely disappear is odd, especially when up until a few hours ago clicking the Forum button did take you to the Trending Threads page. Now it does not and there is no direct link to it anywhere else on the forum or even on the FT main page. Just another baffling decision.

I do have to say that IE11 hates these forums. 27 crashes due to long running script errors on this page alone in 2-3 minutes.
Chrome seems fine with it though.

Added: It seems connected to the adverts that load at the side of the page. Every time it tries to load one, I get the script error.
No apparent issues with any other placements.

That RGB is 41% blue, 35% green and 24% red so it really should not be teal. Is this another white and gold or blue and black dress thing? Out of curiosity, does the color swatch below match the colors at the top/bottom of the forum? Is it the pale teal you describe?



I will say that none of the RGBs that have been posted for that color are web safe, so it should probably be changed either way. The web safe version of this color is RGB 102, 153, 204, which should look like this:

Scrolling on a topic listing page is very slow on the desktop site using an iPhone and safari. Running iOS 11.1 on both a iPhone 6 and iPhone X. It slows down when I zoom the page in.

Stutters on my 2017 iPad Pro too.

I personally think it's the most wonderful change, not having to see the space-hogging trending topics first whenever I visit FT. I say that's about the only thing I like about this down/up-grade, kicking it out of Forum Home.

Not sure if that's a bug since we are having conflicting views between bugs and preferences.

However, if it were a bug, please do not fix this particular bug. I don't mind if one of the dropdown menu provides a direct link to it though.

Top is close.

What's interesting is I'm checking in AI this morning and my AI shows the same 104/173/202 that PPT shows for my screen shot of the page but on the actual page it still maps closer to the top swatch.

The top swatch in AI does show up for me as 116/174/201

Sitting down at one of my machine to try and review why it works well but my other Windows device doesn't has led to the realisation that it has IE11 Tracking Protection enabled. I'd always thought it gave a smoother experience because it was a more powerful machine. So it seems to be ads rather than core content.

I think I said it upthread but there has been no comment by @IBobi or others who might know... One of the design goals of the new skins appears to be to add more ads to the page. I suspect that where (say) 3 used to make for "lumpy" browsing there are now 5 and that pushes things over the edge. This may be due to the way different browsers allow scripts to run, browser specific code that hogs resources, etc. hence the difference with Chrome.

I'm also wondering if there is some new real estate fight going on along the lines of:

• Page loaded
• Page chunk A thinks "better redraw myself"
• Page chunk B thinks "better redraw myself"
• Page chunk A thinks "Hmm, chunk B might be in a better place then me now - I'd better redraw just in case"
• Page chunk B thinks "Hmm, chunk A might be in a better place then me now - I'd better redraw just in case"
• Page chunk C thinks "I'd better..."
• Page chunk B thinks "I'd better..."
• etc
