If you go edit your profile, there is an option at the bottom of the page to turn off infinite scroll.  One of the devs mentioned it in the Thingiverse google group, otherwise it would have stayed a secret.

Ian Johnson, the forum master at work once again.

Variety is always nice. I wonder what sort of improvements folks would need.

The one thing I don't like about Thingiverse's layout right now is how when you are looking through categories.  It is set up to keep adding thumbnails as the user scrolls down.  It sounds nice, but it lacks (or I haven't discovered) the ability to go to specific page numbers.  So if I scroll through for 5 minutes and then have to go do something else on the web when I come back to the thingiverse site I cannot pick up where I left off.

Ah yes, that is annoying.

List formats?

Looks good though, great idea.
