It's a disaster! Please go back to the way it was. Or, make the whole thread one page, not multiple pages "sort of" linked together. And get rid of all this related topic nonsense. Half of them are nothing to do with the topic I was actually looking at, and given the "continuous scrolling", it's far too easy to start in the topic you are interested in, scroll down and you are in to something completely different. If you want to supply a link to a "related topic" fine, but it's just poor human factors design to move straight into another topic without the reader taking an overt action. And why, when I click on "edit" to update a post, do I now get the "delete" script show up?
Sorry to say, this site worked a whole lot better before these "improvements". At least give us an option to turn continuous scrolling off. And why has the font size shrunk when you are typing in? Like now in a reply box. Given the average age of Corvette owners, maybe it should be made bigger not smaller.

If you would like to keep the standard thread view with separate pages, or remove the related threads that appear at a thread's end, head to your User CP's Edit Options page and simply disable “Infinite Scroll” or “Related Threads." Please note that these options only apply to the desktop version of CorvetteForum.

I'm noticing more Zombie threads (really old stuff coming back to life).
With the new "infinite scroll," Zombie threads are becoming more common. If you scroll down past the reply box, it now starts loading the first "related thread." I consider that a serious bug with the new forum software, not a feature. You should at least have to click on a link to re-animate a zombie thread.
I think there's an auto-close feature available too. I'm not usually in favor of that as it can close active discussions. But setting it to "auto close after 7 years" (2556 days if it counts in days) seems fairly useful. Anything still around that long can get a new "reopened" or "continued" thread if it needs to be reopened.

Haha I was reading a thread, read it to the end, then went back to re-read few posts. Then I just press "end" to go to the end of the page. But it went to end of the page in related threads. Posted my question and I bet people were like what is he talking about because it's not related to that thread at all lol. Then searched and found this thread and disabled infinity scroll.

I know this is ancient but I dont like infinite scroll. I always adjust it back to regular pagination mode.
