Some ways to reverse new features

1) Disabling infinite scroll:
  • Go to My FlyerTalk Control Panel
    • Edit options
      • Disable Infinite Scroll


2) Restore previous post editing options:
  • Go to My FlyerTalk Control Panel
    • Settings and Options
      • Miscellaneous Options
        • Message Editor Interface and select “Standard Editor -- extra formatting controls” (you may see odd behavior in this unsupported editor)

@IBobi - OP has returned! Thank you! Would I be pushing my luck to ask for it to be a different colour? Blue would look soooo much better I think! ^

Look again, Fredd.

A link to MyFlyerTalk — shortened to My FT — was added to the bottom bar on the left yesterday afternoon.

I thought I would beat IBobi to the announcement...
Fredd and IBobi like this.

Looks to be a core VB Safari issue. This has gone into backlog for fixing in a later software patch!

That is what My Threads is, a list of threads you started. If you want a list of threads you have contributed to, use My Posts.

You are probably correct, as I use Safari as well; and Safari is from where my screen shot came.

And most complaining about infinite scroll yet IB refuses to reverse it/turn it off as default It's so nice to have it reinforced that IB truly wants what's best for its users/listens to us - not Sad.

On a bug note. If one copies a link address & in the title of the subject line of the link there are quote marks such as 'quote marks', when the link actually posts in the post it turns the quote marks in the link to ? marks. So it appears as (using my example) ?quote marks? when it shows up in the post/hyperlink.

Cheers.

Two. I originally didn't post them because they were in Omni PR & not everyone has access, but realize you do. I'm guessing it's something minor that can be corrected, but it is since the software update. You'll see it in these two posts. Look at the link in the posts which have the ? & then click on the link & when you see the headline you'll see that it's a quote mark. It shows up on both Chrome & IE this way.
