"Related Thread" issues.

Seems many of us are ending up posting in old threads instead of the intended ones. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you end up in a different thread. A "related thread". There is confusion and mistaken posts all over the site now.

Scrolling to the bottom of page puts you in "related thread"

People are now posting in random "related threads" all over the site instead of the ones they want to post in, if they scroll to the bottom of the page.

Re: "Related Thread" issues.

Recently ThirdGen.org received an update that includes Infinite Scroll and Related Threads. Instead of needing to click additional pages to continue reading additional posts in a multi-page thread, the next page of a thread will automatically load as you scroll. This update includes a floating header and footer panel to allow easier navigation while allowing the Infinite scroll to function. This feature can be disabled by going to User CP, Edit Options and disable "Infinite Scroll".

This update also includes a Related Threads feature which will show related threads, best as determined by the system, at the end of each thread. This feature can be disabled by going to User CP, Edit Options and disable "Related Threads."

These features are not entirely new to ThirdGen as the mobile app included them and now the full-theme does as well.

While some members may not like these features, they can be easily disabled by using the aforementioned instructions.
