I’ve been reporting this uncommanded scrolling issue for months now and nothing has been done about it. I thought initially it might have been something to do with the slowness of my iPhone 6 but even on my new iPhone 8 it is happening. I wish IB would fix actual issues before playing around again with aesthetics.

This should no longer be the case. Threads with unread posts are now bold, while completely read threads are not.

Everything that we have tested with mobile scrolling suggests that "jumping" and the like are on the user end. We have tried our network, different networks, turning off networks and using data, and have never been able to reproduce problems.

If your finger is on the screen scrolling and reading, past a certain threshold the site thinks I want to jump back a page, and rather then just load the data, it completely jumps and replaces what I was viewing to show the newly loaded data.

I think this issue would disappear if you (IB, not you personally) let us turn off infinite scroll on mobile.

No problem, I understand you don't make policy.
Two, things, though:
1. Have you had the chance to ask for this?
2. If it's of any help, I've been browsing the forums over the last few days with both my iPhone 8 and my old Galaxy S6. The uncommanded scrolling is still happening with the iPhone 8 but with the Galaxy S6 using both Chrome and Opera there has been no uncommanded scrolling.
Cheers

For scrolling, that's good to know! I will test out more on iOS devices (I generally only have Android handy)

Missing Forum Tools
Mobile skin is missing options like “mark forum read” as well as other tools like subscribe to post.
Is there a plan to add these soon, were they overlooked, or should I stick to the desktop version (which other than overly large text is just fine on mobile safari)?

To subscribe to a forum, same.
The mobile skin can't perform all desktop functions due to the limits of screen size. There's no plan to begin trying to squeeze in all the other functions at this time.

If you would like see what problems people face on their mobile phone (to test whether it's user error or system error and help to reproduce things locally to fix) you might want to look at Splashtop.com/SOS. It enables developers/testers to see what's happening on someone's mobile phone as they are using it. We use it when we want to check what some of our app users are doing to cock things up so badly It works across iOS and Android.

What page should one bookmark for mobile?
I used https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/usercp.php on my laptop but on my iPhone X in Safari it only shows subscribed forums and no new threads.
