Imbalance 2 Theme Changes

    Hello,
    I see that the Imbalance 2 theme is updated and now have the "Get a blog from wordpress.com" box which stays down the screen all the time. (the box which themes already have.)

    I don' t have problems with the box but with the update something else changed. Before, the homepage used to display posts as much as the user wanted. But now, it only displays the posts on the first line. This makes the blog look light, slim.

    But the demo page of Imbalance 2 shows all the posts it has. Also some blogs using this theme also don't have the problem I have.

    How can I solve this, and can I remove the box with the Custom Design Upgrade?

    The blog I need help with is otogun.com.

    I can see all your posts on your home page. Please try clearing your cache and then log back into your account. If that doesn't help, then update or change your browser.

    I use that theme for may main blog, and there do indeed seem to be some changes made behind the scenes. Not sure they include

    Before, the homepage used to display posts as much as the user wanted. But now, it only displays the posts on the first line. This makes the blog look light, slim.

    Take the advice from AOB above: I can see all of your posts. In fact, I am forced to to more of your posts than I want: your footer widgets are now inaccessible.

    In fact somehow "infinite scrolling" settings were reset on my blog (probably also on all blogs using Imbalance2) so that it is impossible to view the footer widgets. Solution is this:
    dashboard—>settings—>reading settings—>To infinity and beyond—>un-check this box: Scroll Infinitely—>update

    Here is info from Support Documents about Infinite Scrolling:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/infinite-scroll/
    Which themes have infinite scroll:
    http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/infinite-scroll/
    And a picture which shows the checkbox to disable infinite scroll "feature."
    With infinite scroll, your readers will never see your footer widgets for more than a second or two!!!

    That Support Document notes this:

    How many posts load at a time?
    Infinite Scroll loads seven posts at a time.

    And that is what my Imbalance2 theme showed a few minutes ago. Now it shows this:

    [ ] (that's supposed to depict a checkbox) Scroll Infinitely
    (Shows 12 posts on each load)

    My conclusion is that they are now forcing the infinite scroll onto themes not suited to it (those would be themes with footer widgets) or changing the way "infinite scroll" functions or both…
