Default HDF Mobile Two

I noticed the mobile browser, is called Mobile 2 now. When you scroll down you end up in a different "related thread".
And there is no next page anymore, you have to type in which page you want to go to. Why keep making changes, for the sake of change?

Yeah. I'm giving the update a thumbs down. Not really liking it. I'm almost always on the mobile version.
There is no end. Keep finding myself in threads I have no interest in reading.

Sometimes, I get the old format, sometimes the new?

What was the thinking behind eliminating the new post selection, and full site toggle? And replacing it with annoying related threads? Please don't screw up the New Post listings, which still retain the old, better format. Why doesn't IT answer these questions?

<p>The update should automatically load the next page of the thread and only load a related thread after the last page of a thread. This is a feature request from users who didn't want to continue to click to get to the next page but wanted it to load automatically.&nbsp; If a thread is only one page then a related thread will load once you scroll past the bottom.&nbsp;</p><p>The thread list that you posted is still in the old format and only thread views&nbsp;use infinite scroll.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

I don't like it. When a thread is new, you end up in some unrelated thread. Seems like it is designed for people who like really long threads, and is bad for people who read new posts. Should be an option, not a default.
I'll get used to it, but maybe when you do an update you could do a better job of explaining the changes.

Usually the threads aren't even related. Like these two: Finger Lakes and Niagara Falls Trip report andhttps://www.hdforums.com/forum/general-harley-davidson-chat/1067957-not-taking-up-a-parking-spot.html#post14339215

Now I just edited the wrong post because of the dumb related thread feature. You haven't fixed the main problem with the mobile browser: links don't work. I have to switch to full site if I want a link to be clickable.

Mobil and Mobile aren't related. Typical.

Today, "Your Cage" and "How do you organize your gear?" as related.
Besides having the word your in it they have nothing to do with each other. It's easy to end up in thec wrong thread. Really annoying feature.

When are they going to give up the Related thread feature? Today they have a thread about Harley Charlie's 10,000 post, and a 10,000 mile service as related.
It gives AI a bad name. A 3 year old would know they aren't related.
