Default Forum question - how do you navigate long threads?

I use my iPhone to view Rennlist 99% of the time. Very rarely on a laptop. It seems any discussions with more that 50 replies are very hard to read. The site will suddenly jump forward 10-20 replies without warning.

Threads like “Prices keep drifting…” or “What did you do to your 996 today” are impossible to read. Even threads much shorter than those are tough.

Is there a setting I need to change, or am I doing something wrong?

I read from the bottom up but I'm weird.

Yes I find using the iphone, especially on threads with lots of pictures and pages, can be a pain. I think the issue involves scrolling up/down and the thread suddenly jumping to the next/previous page. Don't know that there is a setting to correct it. Many very cheap laptops available and reading through long threads is much easier and more enjoyable that way. Small cost to make your life less stressful, just my advise.

Well, I’m glad to know it’s not just me. I do have a laptop, I just find it A LOT more convenient to use my phone.

If you're viewing on an iPhone you will probably have to change your desktop view settings (instructions below,) and then also on your mobile browser - go into your browser options and select "View desktop site". I'm a no-good Android user so I'm not sure how to do this on iPhone, I'm sure there's good instructions online for you though.


To turn off Infinite Scroll

Click on your user name at the top of the page and click "USER CONTROL PANEL"




Find "Edit Options" on the left hand side of the control panel:






Make sure "infinite scroll" is disabled: it is near the bottom of the page.





Cheers!

That’s super helpful! I think infinite scroll is the problem. I wonder if there’s a way to disable that in the mobile view?

Kelly - not that I'm aware of at the moment. That's why I was saying you may want to view this page in "Desktop View" on your mobile device for the time being.

On the positive side, I never knew that everyone had avatar images with their profiles. LOL - including me! I forgot I even used that old pic of my car. It’s changed a bit since then. Time to update!

I guess you don’t see that on the mobile view.
