By the way, while the star thing works*, it is another example of something that does not play well with infinite scroll. When you scroll to the top of the page to access the star, you have a nanosecond before infinite scroll kicks in. The only currently reliable way to get to it is to go to the first page.

*and now that I know about it I've noticed it on other sites where it's probably been there for a while Once you know about it, sure, it's great. But it shouldn't be the only mechanism, if only because of the infinite scroll thing. A menu item would still be a useful enhancement IMO.

We are working on adding a "top" link to the infinite scroll nav bar.

^ awesome, thanks!

Unrelated feature-request, the full desktop interface has a menu item when viewing a forum, Forum Tools > Mark This Forum Read -- any chance of adding that to the mobile skin menu? Or if there is some way to achieve this that I've overlooked, like the star icon please let me know!

This is fixed for future mentions... may not ever fix all the existing ones though.

Smileys bring up another screen to select them from. It may be hitting your popup blocker?

Working fine on Chrome:



Still not working for you? Tell us your device type, browser, if you are using mobile skin or desktop, etc.

Scrolling up on mobile is just never what I want. I often want to go up a few posts, and instead I'm taken a page or two up and then need to scroll back down to where I was.

Desktop mode button at the bottom of the page is now missing. Awful using the broken mobile editor for replies now.
ETA: Wiki posts aren't visible in mobile either.

There's a new feedback thread for the latest "improvements"

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tech...-new-post.html

FWIW I just reported the missing desktop mode button, and I think the wiki issue has been mentioned there too.

New Mobile layout on FT.

What the heck is with this new mobile layout. It's awful . You can't tell which threads have new posts and which do. Both are black, with very little difference in the darkness. Also when I click on a thread it takes me to the very 1st post.

Can't FT test their sh*T before rolling it out. Also maybe an announcement? Is there way to go back?

Seems like it would be a lot easier for them to stop trying to build a mobile site and just use tapatalk like every other forum does

On mobile there is a little red dot to the right of the thread title. That seems to indicate unread posts.
