Every single forum I see now is using this:

Seems to work okay in general. I'm not a big fan of the gamified notification system it seems to have - whenever I sign up for an instance, it'll send me things like "Super reader achievement unlocked! You read 10 threads." or whatever. I suppose it can be turned off since it's OSS.
Thanks, I'll have to look into it too, though the gamification sounds annoying AF.
I hate the scrollbar hijacking and lazy loading on larger threads.
I just want pagination and to use my stock browser features...
