It should work reversed to how you used to do it

This. Definitely took awhile to get used to, but having it reversed to mimic ipad/iphone scrolling makes sense. If you can't get used to it, you can always turn of natural scrolling in system pref.

have you got swipe setup for 3 fingers instead of 2

just to clarify though

are you talking about 2 finger scrolling through a document or 2 finger swiping to go back/forward through a document

also which app are you having problems in
 
two finger scroll

in Finder, Safarri, iwork, etc

Onlyway to move around is to grab the scroll point and drag up and down
 
I had a similar issue when I upgraded except that ALL my gestures worked perfect except the two finger swipe in Safari. Tried every possible combination, reset all the gestures, re-installed Safari, etc., etc.

Can you create a new user/login and replicate the issue? When I created a new user/login it worked perfectly fine so figured it was a preference file glitch in my main user account.

Find your .globalpref file (which is a hidden file) in your User Library and replace it with the .globalpref file from the user that it is working in. Worked for me! It will clear some of your general comp settings, but also resets the trackpad.
 
Just found the answer - needed to go to "Universal access" in System prefs,choose the trackpad option and turn on inertial scrolling.

Why didn't they put this in the trackpad prefs?
 
THANKS!

I don't know how you figured it out, but I'm glad you did. I, too, looked in the Trackpad settings, and found nothing!
