I should mention the third most popular thing to do on this site, which is the "Search" function.
If you were to concentrate on improving the search function that would be a true breakthrough. Today, I leave your site and use Google to search it because the embedded search function is so poor. Why not just use Google Search on your site? Integrate it with your "Advanced" search page?
It would make the site easier to use and it would preserve continuity by encouraging members to use existing threads on a topic to answer their questions. It would help consolidate information rather than scattering it over multiple threads.

"Web & Images"? Sure. That's the first thing that comes to mind when I'm trying to search your site.

On a similar note; I suggest just calling it "Search" rather than "Google Search". The user really doesn't care what the underlying tech is, just call it "Search"?

Nolan:Now let's face facts; when the purpose of a site is to allow members to excghange information by writing and reading, those are the functions you need to optimize. Make it easy and obvious before doing anything else. Create a function rich content authoring environment and an easy to use consumer environment. You have not done that.

When posts are deleted without trace (e.g. by a moderator), then the forum software still calculates the number of pages that the user can select based on including those deleted posts.
The display functionality for pages skips the deleted posts and ends up displaying the wrong page count from the counting function which ignores deleted posts.

Hey thanks for the quick response. No its still doing the infinite scroll on my iPhone. Which is really frustrating because its always trying to render so its skipping around.

In the forum page you have Sticky threads and underneath Normal threads.
Where are the Abnormal threads?

The users might discover there is a seedy underbelly of RL with members only access.

BTW, for those of us who can't find the place to switch back, it is in the far left bottom corner of the screen, below the Posting Rules box in the gray bar that also contains the "Contact Us" link.
Also BTW, rather than continuing to polish this turd of a change to try to make it shiny, you need to switch everybody back to the old format and let people who actually want it opt in to the new format.
