Incredibly annoying. I scroll down to the bottom of a thread to read the latest post and/or respond, and then 500 more posts pop up below it as part of a "related thread" that is never actually related.

Yes, it is supposed to be turned off for logged in users. I hope soon.

Yes retarded. Load content I want to see.

The interface is so crappy here, When I click the last page of a picture thread and go to the bottom, the related threads load and the previous pages of the picture threads when i scroll up.

I was told last week the fix is coming to remove it from logged in users. I know it's frustrating for all of us and it should be out of here soon.

It's now been almost a month and still no fix. Can someone put a fire under the programmer's *** and fix it?

As far as I know the plan is to still remove it or make a 'opt-in' for logged in users. I believe it will be default for not logged in surfers. I've voiced my 'encouragement' to have it removed, that's the only 'match stick' I have. Thanks.

See if this works for you. Go to your 'User Control Panel' linked below. Select 'Edit Options' in the left panel then 'Thread Display Options', scroll to the bottom and there should be an option to turn it off. Please let me know if that is not the case.

What the **** is this ****? We can't get rid of the infinite scroll bull**** now? All it shows is using the default which is that.

In my 20 years of posting on forums, this infinite scroll thing is THE most retarded thing I've seen. Whoever thought doing that was a good idea needs to get a beat down. If it's an Internet Brands thing I wouldn't be surprised. They're a terrible company that ruins forums (the largest Camaro forum on the internet died once it was sold to them).

Would you like some help or prefer to rant? In your User Control Panel does you 'Edit Options' look like the pic below?

I'll rant. I have never seen choosing what skin you want to use being a thing in the User CP, which infinite scroll falls under. It was at the bottom like normal before and not a big deal to change. It was just annoying.

Why is infinite scroll the default? Only an idiot would think that's a good idea.

Yes, I went into User CP and changed it now.

An incredibly annoying bug (not a feature!) like "infinite scroll" enabled by default is something I also agree only an idiot would think is a good idea.
