Hey, myLot--the infinite scrolling needs to GO!

Tweet

I've never really been a fan of the infinite scrolling on pages here--where you keep going down the page and more discussions or responses load once you hit the end of the list. It just doesn't have the same appeal to me that the paged format of the previous layout did. I can work with it on a "real" computer, but this morning I was browsing the site on my tablet and discovered that it ruins the user experience. See, when you're using a mobile device, the infinite scrolling doesn't work at all. You get the initial group of 20 discussions, and that's it. This puts mobile users at a huge disadvantage because they can't see every discussion posted to the site. Even following a lot of users isn't a solution, because it's true on every page that uses infinite scrolling. myLot's losing out, too, because there's a lot of potential views that won't happen if users can't see more than a fraction of the content that's available here on the site. Am I the only one who would gleefully volunteer to test a new layout for compatibility with mobile devices if myLot needed guinea pigs?
