When you're in a PM, you can view past parts of the conversation via the Message History bar, located under the Quick Reply box. Simply click "View History" on the right side of the bar, and it'll expand to show the previous messages in your PM chain. We're also working on a more long-term solution that closer mimics the old conversation style.

Ditto!! Hate this feature, I am constantly scrolling in to unrelated shit (especially on my phone), very confusing!

Thank you again for all the feedback regarding infinite scroll. We heard you loud and clear regarding the functionality of related threads, ranging from the relevancy of those threads to how they're presented to you. While we work to improve this, we have decided to disable related threads for desktop infinite scroll. As long as you're logged in, you shouldn't see any thread beyond the one you explicitly chose to read. We have other adjustments coming down the pipe as well, including the return of the reply box at the end of a thread. Stay tuned!

Infinite scrolling is an abomination. Took me ages to get to the bottom which fuelled my venom. I truly hate it with a passion.

It's something IB is putting on all their properties. I'm on another, "FlyerTalk" where it gets lots of complaints, too. And like here, it's being foist on the membership by opt-out, not opt-in.

We're using this test to collect feedback and improve the functionality, so the more detail you can provide, the better.
Oh, and just like Flyertalk's implementation, the initial opt-out methods aren't working. Setting to "Classic Next Gen" does NOT disable Infinite Scroll. It's still active for me with that skin set selected.

What do I find annoying? I didn't ask for it, and it's being forced on to me. The functionality is not the issue, it's the removal of options.

Sorry about that. It looks like your choice to disable infinite scroll didn't properly save on your profile. I went ahead and made the adjustment for you. If you're still seeing infinite scroll, please let me know.

Thanks!

Disabled this morning, but I'm on a different computer. Will check on my home computer this morning. If still enabled on that one, there may be a stale cookie that is not being cleared out by the skin switch.
