I cleared the cache and the like feature worked, for awhile.

I am not ready, however, to assume a cause-and-effect relationship, as the like feature is now again not working.

I am more inclined to suspect some other random factor is at play.

Either way, I do not regard the need to periodically clear my cache to be a suitable resolution to the problem.

Thanks, they are back now (though there is still the unfortunate interaction with infinite scroll that forces you to go to the first page before you can scroll to the top and actually view a wiki )

I am not a fan of the changes. Far too much white space and scrolling about to see things.
Would Opt-in the FT old style even be an option? Maybe soon, please?

One further refinement requested: Please make the entire block for a page number click-able. Right now you have to home in on the number itself.

Ever since the 'new and improved' style update, I've been getting massive CPU usage again when trying to reply to threads. Seems the change also re-broke the disruptive ads.

The infinite scroll is annoying. When I press page down, it gets stuck downloading. I like the old format that it downloads entire pages at a time and you can toggle back and forth. Real annoying.

The top bar the appears when you point at the top or you press page up. Please leave it static.

All these dynamic functions are annoying and make page slower.

Find the "edit ptions" page from within My Flyertalk and de-select "infinite scroll" from there. It is about 2/3 down the page.

The odd mish-mash of font sizes and particularly the illogically small sizes note above are about the only thing I dislike about the new theme, aside from it being bright enough that my laptop screen could serve as a replacement for a lighthouse.

I'll send you some emails to test this out.

I'm still having huge problems with font sizes and readability.

Here's the font size of threads in a normal forum:

And here is what it looks like when you search (which I find to be too small and unreadable):

I've asked tech to prioritize text sizing problems

This has been stated before. And nothing has happened.
The small text size was mentioned in the early posts of this thread

It is not just the weird sizing, it is the inconsistent sizing, even on the same page. Look at the Trending Threads page and tell me something isn't messed up. The thread titles are huge but the forum directory is barely readable on any sort of high res monitor. Just make them one or the other so we can at least zoom in or out to compensate evenly.

Also please don't forget about the sub-forum headers. Thread/Original Poster, Sticky Threads and Normal Threads should not be the same size as thread titles and definitely shouldn't be smaller than the actual sub-forum header. Either make them larger or put them in a contrasting cell. I'm on a calibrated monitor and even I can barely tell that those cells are slightly off-white. Even the Fodors forum, an IB joint, at least has the courtesy to have a contrasting color for sub-forum headers.

Fix those two things and I'll call it a win.

I now visit FT only to check this thread and to briefly make sure I don't miss something in a single, solitary forum.

Someone please, and plausibly, tell me this isn't simply a way for [redacted] to have thousands of people--who clearly aren't willing to give up using FT over all this--to do the beta testing for [redacted].

I saw upthread that this issue was already brought to your attention, and I've noticed that some posts now show hyperlinks underlined in blue.

But there are still posts where the hyperlinks are indistinguishable from the regular text.

Example: in this thread's wiki there are 10 embedded links:
FCO to Rome transportation options

Will this be remedied? Or am I supposed to go back through all of my posts and change the formatting of the hyperlinks myself?

(I have only read through the first several pages of this thread, so maybe you've already addressed this in subsequent posts. If so, perhaps someone can please post a link to that reply?)
