Quote: Infinite scroll has just reappeared for me on most threads (but not on this one), despite me having it turned off.
Quote: Same here. It just "magically" reappeared. Aaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhh.

Except on this thread for some reason.
Can you try turning it back off? (you may need to clear your FT cookies first)

FYI on mobile it's always on...

It seems to have disappeared again.

This is a behaviour that I already noticed occasionally before the latest "enhancements". It sometimes appeared out of the blue and disappeared again after a while without any action on my part.

Subscribed Threads Issue - Can't Distinguish b/w New Content Threads vs. Read
I'm using MS Edge. I can no longer see which threads in "Subscribed Threads" have new (to me) content vs. those I'm caught up to. Used to get bolded thread titles for threads with new content and lighter colored text for those I'm up to date on. Now all are bolded regardless..

That section is "new subscribed threads" -- so they all have new content.
If you want to see the ones without new content and the new ones too, click "view all subscribed threads" and the unread ones are bold while the rest are not.

I have been using this site for years in the same way. To duplicate: I click on the "Quick Links", select "Subscribed Threads" in the Miscellaneous section. They used to be differentiated (bold thread titles for new content) but now all show bold although I have already read the latest updates in many of the threads.

I think that both of these routes get you to the same page - https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/subscription.php - although in one case with options set (...?do=viewsubscription&folderid=all).

On that page, it looks to me like the threads with new content have the small downwards-pointing blue arrow (). But it's nowhere near as clear as it used to be, when threads with new content were bolded and threads without were not.

However, the section described by IBobi on the MyFlyerTalk page is easy to get to, and lists only the threads with new content. That's been my primary way into FT since the change that made that section list only threads with new content, and I personally now find it a very easy way to get what teemuflyer wants:-

No, also the ones without new messages are all bold now. Even those where I'm the last poster, but at least I can tell in that case.

When I click on view all sub'd threads nothing changes, they all stay bold.

Same behavior on "my recent posts".

EDIT: Looks like the regular forum listing may have been fixed unless I mis-recalled what was happening...

[MENTION=359244]IBobi[/MENTION], there seems to be a shared problem across lists of threads. The comment re subscribed threads being all bold is the same as what I see in both regular forum listings and search results on Windows 10 / IE 11, as per:

Quote: ...there doesn't seem to be any distinction between threads where I'm up to date and those with something to go read. Very distracting and hard work .
Quote: How now all threads appear bolded, not just unread one.
For example, this is what I see in "My Recent Posts" search after being the last poster to this thread, compared with the one below where I see the little "jump to last unread" marker. I'd expect them to be unbold / bold respectively:



On my Android phone I do see the bold / unbold mix.

I don't know if this has already been brought up somewhere in this thread (I think I've read it all, but don't recall seeing this).

See the image below (it appears in this post: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/29672123-post4.html)

I think the second line of the quoted text was bolded, but the other lines are very hard to see on the gray background. I can imagine someone with vision impairment might have a hard time seeing the other lines. Could the gray of the quote box be lightened or the non-bold text be made darker?

Is the little picture icon to post images (see above where it looks like a postcard) no longer working? It did not long ago. Click on that & then it would take me to a part where I paste the url, or do the attachment. Now nothing happens. It looks like one has to go to advanced in order to do the same thing. If that's the case, what's the point of having the icon which we're all used to using for images? Am using Chrome on laptop, Win 7.

Cheers.

Still struggling with the 'current page' indicator when looking at long threads. I know it's now 'highlighted' in blue, but still lacks clarity. The containing box really could use some background shading.

This was manually changed by the person quoting. If you just use the quote function it works fine.

It works on Chrome and FF for me. Try clearing your cache etc. Turn off blockers etc.

Ah, I see you're right, thanks. Glad to know it wasn't a tech glitch!

[MENTION=359244]IBobi[/MENTION], I haven't see this acknowledged as a problem or work in progress recently. Can you clarify if more is needed to help you understand what is happening?
