Love this. If only Hacker News and Reddit would implement it.

No. Grab an extension like HN Special or RES if you want the functionality.

Infiniscroll is an evil creation, made worse by developers who insist on creating a footer at the end of the scroll view, just out of reach so that you can never quite get to it.

I don't even know how to get a second page of HN results. Never had the need. Infinite scrolling creates a daunting never-ending feeling. I like the sense of accomplishment after scanning/reading through a fixed list of results. Infinite scrolling makes that carrot forever out of reach.

It's the "more" link at the bottom.

Please do not implement infinite scroll. I find it super annoying.

Doesn't RES have this?

RES uses infinite scrolling of some sort, yes.

Actually, a pretty decent infinite scroller, with markers so you know which page you are (and this makes it a lot easier to navigate).

It intelligently remembers where you were if you click a link and then back; it restores your previous scroll location. Pleasantly surprised by the behaviour as I usually do not enjoy infinite scroll.

... and Google.

It would be nice to get rid of that first page mentality. I think it would do some really great things for the not so big guys.
