It seems that now, while I'm scrolling through a thread, every so often an arrow in a bubble will pop up, along with another bubble pointlessly telling me the number of the post currently in view.

They are not so intrusive on a computer screen, but on a small phone screen, they are taking up valuable screen space. Is there any way I can get rid of them?

Also, I previously had the whole thread available to view when I opened it. My preference was to have the newest threads at the top. If I wanted to read from the first reply, I could just press Add Post and it would take me to the bottom.

Now it doesn't do that, it takes me down a few posts, and then I have to click on Load More Posts. For a long thread, this could take ages.

This is making the site an absolute chore to browse.

Hi there @BadLad . This sounds like the new post counter feature? You can toggle it off here in Talk settings by changing 'On threads show posts per thread:' from 'All on one page' to 'Split into pages'.

Hope that helps.

Hi @BadLad .

If you want to go back to seeing all posts on one page you just need to have 'on thread show posts per thread:' set to 'Split into pages' and then have the 'Number of posts per page:' set to '1000'. That will bring back the old experience without needing to click to load in more posts. You may find things a little slow on some very long threads with it set to 1000 but you can always change it down to 100 per page etc in that instance.

Hope that helps.
