Concurrent to the elimination of trending, there have been some major detrimental changes that make this site almost useless.
When I went to a forum previously, on the left there would be a symbol that indicated a thread that I had contributed to.
That is gone. When I had notifications ( i.e. New likes received) I could click on that link and it would bring me to the likes page.
That is gone. The format of every page is so different now - it has become unreadable. There used to be a link at the bottom
of every page to jump to specific fora - that is gone.
Can you please bring this site back to the way it was last week - or this twice daily user is going to disappear.
And the option of going to last page seems to have disappeared - and you are back to continuous scroll?
Do you want to drive all your loyalists away?

Issue occurred on Laptop running Windows 11, using Firefox 123.0.
When I switched to Edge, everything was normal.

Is it possible Firefox is stuck in mobile skin and Edge isn't? See the wiki or post 3 on this thread: Switched to mobile view and can't switch back to desktop view
Oh, well, with Trending gone, and Firefox incompatibility, I'll see you occasionally.

In particular mobile skin forces infinite/continuous scroll, which you mentioned, hence my curiosity. If this is indeed the problem, it's trivial to fix per the instructions in the other thread. If not, then your guess is as good as mine :-/

It's a simplified interface designed for phone browsers. I'm not entirely sure, but I think even with "never" checked, you may still end up there for example if you follow a search result in Google to FlyerTalk (sometimes Google indexes the mobile version of a page instead of the full one) -- there may be other ways this can happen, but that's one of them.

I appended ?styleid=24 to the URL in Firefox, and that got it back to normal.

The See All button next to Trending Discussions has stopped working. I want to say say I noticed this stoppage on Tuesday of this week? I have tried clearing cache etc, but nothing.
When I click it - I get a "Page not Found" error.
