Infinite Scroll

    How do I go back to numbered pages? The infinite scroll is very destructive to the blog experience. Let me explain, when you are on page 30 and click on a photo to see it in it's enlarged view, going back to where you left off on the blog is frustrating. Your followers now have to re-scroll from the beginning/top of the blog to return where they left off. Many people give up in frustration and leave your blog.
    The load more option works the same frustrating way.
    Help!

    You can't. Staff have been introducing “infinite scroll" to themes — a site wide change. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/to-infinity?replies=137

    Note that "disabling" the feature (when you use footer widgets) simply changes it from loading automatically to loading via the "Load More Posts" tab, and you can't disable that "Load More Posts" tab from appearing without the Custom Design upgrade.

    You are not alone.

    Your point about not being able to go back to where you left off is something we will look into. Perhaps we can address it in the next version, or maybe sooner.

    Thank you so much. I, along with others, will be waiting patiently.

    ...I think you should check the WordPress Terms of Service agreement you signed when you started your blog. I may be wrong, but using your http://icin2.wordpress.com blog to advertise and sell underwear, and to offer discounts, could warrant having your blog suspended.
