"FT Desktop Infinite Scroll" feature for desktop viewing introduced Jan 2017
NOTE: Selecting the Mobile Skin / display format will activate Infinite Scroll.
Opting out of "FT Desktop Infinte Scroll" skin:
How to opt out:
If you opt out, your pagination will revert to the “classic” FT Desktop View skin when you are logged into your FT account. Bear in mind that if you visit FT before logging in, you will see the infinite scroll.
To opt out, you can see this post or just go to
My FlyerTalk->Edit Options->Thread Display Options->“Disable Desktop Infinite Scroll”
Click the check box and click SAVE CHANGES.

If infinite scroll is set to default style and you keep reverting to infinite scroll:
... Unfortunately since it's set to be the default style, opting out wont work.
So, with that said, you'll need to go into the "My Options" page and both disable infinite scroll and change your default style/skin to FT Desktop ..also don't forget to save!
Hope this helps!

Infinite / Automatic Scroll: issues, q&a, disable on desktop version
The method of changing your settings to disable Infinite Scroll has changed (April, 2018). Until the following posts are updated by their owners, these basic illustrations show the newer procedure.
1) Go to -> My FlyerTalk and select -> Settings and Options, and from there ->Edit Options on to ->Thread Display Options (scroll down to find that) and ->Infinite Scroll.
There, click on or touch

I can't stand the infinite scroll. Not only is the sticky bar at the bottom annoying and takes up space, but I used to scroll tot he end and then post my reply. Now it just keeps loading never ending posts so I never get to the comment box.
Thanks so much for providing an opt-out. I know this is incredibly old forum software, but vB 5.x is awful, and 4.x is full of problems as well. If it ain't broke don't fix it

It works very poorly during my daily train commute where GSM internet connection quality varies widely from second to second, minute to minute.
I wondered what was going on when I switched to several tabs and found only a few posts had loaded.
Normally, I read one thread while loading others in tabs; generally they load at 40 per page eventually. It becomes a form of buffering.
With Infinite scroll this does not occur. Basically it is inefficient.
I have had to turn it off.

I opted out and no longer have the "forum jump" drop-down at the bottom of thread pages. Also, on multi-page threads, the current page number is no longer highlighted.
edit: Though I opted out of infinite scroll, the forum style was still set to "FT Infinite Scroll". Changing it to "vBulletin 3 FT Style 3.7.6 PL2" fixed things for me. Maybe worth adding a note when checking the opt-out box.

It seems like you mean the Quick Reply box; yes, that box is no longer there. Now, you can simply click the REPLY link on the far left of the menu bar at the bottom of the page when you want to make a post.

It's still there once I opted out, and this is what I prefer. This is how a forum should look.

ok, that also allows the quick reply box?
another thing, the options I have don't look like the example.
There is no 'disable' radio button. What I do have is a menu for forum skin, currently set to 'use forum default. The choices inside that menu include infinite scroll.
