when i do that on threads with say more than about 25 pages i often get a database error. I then have to type in a page number near the end of the thread but not the last one listed and work my way from there. lame.

Quick reply is either ridiculously slow or doesn't work at all for me. Not sure if that's just me or across the board.

CONTRAST desperately needed...as in this lighter shade of pale sucks on the eyes. Suggestion: very dark blue color font or better, BLACK and dump the Martha Stewart pastel blue (KMart?) p-l-e-a-s-e!

Thats because the forum is adding an extra page to those threads. Like the "general MTB thread" I just posted in it and I am the last poster on page 76 yet when I get there it says there is another page which when you click on the timestamp the stupid software tries to take you there. I figured that would have been resolved when they were doing the upgrades and fixing bugs last night but apparently not. I think I am going to end up taking a few months vacation from this place until they work this **** out and change the colors so my eyes dont kill over trying to read on here. All these little bugs make this place more frustrating than enjoyable anymore.

It was released with far too many issues. I had computer access on vacation last week but didn't even bother looking at BF. Way too many errors.

Where to start...

The broken search function. The general cruddy UI. The reply font size being microscopic. The fubar "last" button. ...

+1. Works on our newer computer but not our older one. I guess it's too old an edition of IE. I don't have admin prevlidges at work so no Bike Forums most of the night.

Since the "New Posts" page shows an entire paragraph of each new post, I don't actually click on the titles any longer....I just read the blurbs. (There....THAT should make them change that stupid crap so they get more page-views/$)

Honestly though, I've been unable to reconcile with this horrible new theme/lack of utility/"upgrade" and spend most of my time elsewhere now. You may applaud/breathe a sigh of relief now....
