There are 2 different versions of 'My flyertalk' now, the old and trusted white text with darkblue background and a new one in the new (far less pleasant) light blue background. Will the new one eventually replace the old version? I hope not, as the new version has completely different menu options and I'm shure many readers/members are very familiar with the options that are available under the old menu.

Thank you to the first person who mentioned how to turn off the infinity scroll. It is why I found this thread.
I am with the others. Not quite sure why the changes. Things were quite decent as they were. I reckon the vast majority of the people on here are on here for the vast collective knowledge available on these forums, and the previous iteration of the site served this purpose well enough.

Not that it matters to your point, but I believe it is clearing cookies rather than cache that requires a new login. On some devices, there is a single command that does both. (Anyone with more tech know-how than I have, feel free to correct me.)

Please, could you explain how this is done?
Use simple words, please. And thank you in advance.

It's not possible to change back to the previous colour scheme or sizing.

I was hoping.
Thanks.
While I am at it, are "they" aware that the screen when we are posting is small but even so does not include the box that says "submit reply,' so we have to scroll down (gingerly) a few millimeters in order to find that box and click on it, in order to submit reply?

That had been my understanding, but the post prior to yours referred to the "LINK," whatever that is.
I was hoping.
Thanks.

They are aware of the problems with the button positions, but they don't care.

This latest update is so bad I basically going to stop using Flyertalk. The embedded adds are ridiculous, make scrolling flaky, the performance is terrible.
On top of that it has become the UGLIEST forum service I've ever used.
As usual with the web, we are not the customers, just the source of all of the information so you can sell adds.

Discussion of polling is off-topic per IB staff
Several posts discussing the possibility of polling, past polls, deleted polls, etc., etc., have been deleted.
IB staff have made it clear there will be no polling of this issue.
Future such posts will be deleted as off-topic for this thread.

For those unfamiliar with the FlyerTalk Rules, we recommend reading them here: https://www.flyertalk.com/help/rules.php. As we all agreed to abide by these when we were granted membership, it’s useful to be aware - they are enforced in this forum, including overly personal comments and snark. “Play the ball, not the player.” That includes members and IB Administrators.

Advocating ad blockers is prohibited here, as stated in the Forum Rules. Such use deprives Internet Brands of the revenue it uses to maintain and offer its many websites for free, and FT will not provide technical assistance or support to members using ad blocking software. Be aware only limited discussion of ad blockers is allowed, and certainly not if one is advocating using one to others.

A positive note--I am so glad that they have gone back to the term "Original Poster" instead of using the term "thread starter," which really jarred. (Starter kits, dough starter--the list goes on.)

wow. one change we asked for. What about all the others, IB? The colour and sizing make it very difficult to read anything. I hardly use this site now that you've shown you couldn't care less about the people that use this site
