Infinite Scroll Feedback Thread
We've just rolled out a new, simpler way to read CorvetteForum! Now, instead of needing to click "Next" in a thread to keep reading additional posts, you will see a layout that automatically loads the next page of a thread as you scroll. We've also updated a few other parts of the layout so they remain easily accessible while you read, including access to thread search, a button to jump to the first unread post, and a Quick Reply box that lets you type a reply while scrolling through the thread content.
We're happy to answer any questions you may have about the new functionality right here in this thread. 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.

Have to agree with 6spdC6. It was FINE before IB messed with it. Never had a problem with going to additional posts or any other navigational issues/concerns.

Oh Vay!!!! Even since this appeared I hardly get my RECENT TOPICS to appear in the upper part of the screen where it has been. To get it I now have to exit out go to my tool bar for favorite places and bring the forum up again Us hot rodders have a saying "IF it runs good leave it alone"

It stops at Market Place with a open space to the right where my Favorite topics USED to be. Tried it a few times.

Depending on your screen size, it's possible some menu options are missing since we scale the width of the menu to fit your screen. More options should appear if you make your window full-size, but if not, can you please let me know what screen resolution you're using and what type of device you're on (i.e. a Windows PC, a Mac, a tablet)? Thanks!

Sometimes MFT appears but now as I said it stops at Market place and their is room for MFT to go in that blank spot.
For the record I'm 73 and extremely not a person to have any nerd abilities.
Goods luck I'm going to the beach and go swimming for a bit

So what is the secret of the new "Forum Jump" button?
When I click it, I get an indented list of all the forums. When I select one it becomes highlighted in blue, but no actual jump occurs. If I click the Forum Jump button a second time, the forum list goes away but still no jump occurs.
Normally I'm pretty good at rolling with these new UI changes, but this one has me stumped.

I know I'm just a guest here and you can do whatever you want with the site. But, if you want my feedback, I'd say put it back the way it was at the first of the year. The site was intuitive and easy to use.
I'm using an ancient HP Pavilion with windows XP. and Firefox.
edit: I turned off the automatic scroll and all is well again.

Infinite scroll sucks! I don't like these changes. How can I revert?

In the last iteration that button was a QnD way to get back to the index page of the current forum; not now no more.
But that's OK, I found a new shortcut.

Infinite scroll would be fine if the breadbox thing worked where you can hit the go button on bottom right of page indicator where the go button brings you back to the thread page. Right now it can take you to a different thread topic, but not the same one you are in.
use to work great before it moved to the bottom, which I suppose it moved to the bottom due to this infinite scroll. I think if this gets fixed, most people will learn to like it aND eventually prefer it. Right now when we get to the bottom of thread we have to scroll all the way to the top to click the thread link to get back to the thread list. Hopefully that gets fixed.
