Question Forum update

Did anybody get the new update? Noticed I had to sign back in even so I had "remember me" clicked. It seems like they pushed the infinite scroll back (for threads) on us; at least the previous option to select is gone in the user cp. I also get some funky banner type notification up top and of the bottom of my screen

It's a disaster.
See Link in my signature.

You can turn scrolling off in user settings. I think.
I only found out after I had to log in today and noticed the changes and spam so went looking for the off topic thread on how ****ty this forum is now.

I have to you Garage App or within 5 seconds the page gets covered with a pop-up.

Found that stupid scrolling and related threads. They hid it in options in the user cp. Of course they didn't remember when they kicked everybody off and updated again.

Thanks for the lead on where to find the scrolling option. I HATE that "feature".

I'm used to logging back in -- annoying but used to it. What's really broken is the new UI and the dumb scrolling into unwanted threads. To make matters worse, we don't even have the option to use the old interface. I'm not opposed to learning new UI, but for God's sake, make it better, not worse. This is akin to Porsche dumping Tiptronic in the 991.2 GT3s.

See below to disable the infinite Scroll (from User Control panel > Edit Options

Was just vasilating on it this am Long time paying member, this site is a disaster and in need of a big makeover. Late 90's interface, no iPad app, etc and now they've made it even more cumbersome to use. Very frustrating in this day and age to have such a miserable UI experience. Where do you file official complaints

One option I would like to see is when you click on a thread you've been to before, it goes to your first unread post. Rather than scrolling to find out where you left off last time you checked the thread. Another site has this and I think its great.

tech guys / companies always have to make things "better".

Why can't they just fix the picture bug, when stuff gets posted sideways and upside down?

Thanks for the scrolling tips.. . .I've always hated that
