Just out of curiosity is there any work being done to speed up the desktop version of the site?
I've noticed it is quite a bit slower than the old version.
I've noticed a pretty decent drop off on participation in the forum recently.
I personally don't even check forum as often as I use to now just because it is so broken.
The bug where newest posts don't show up properly without clicking into individual threads is the most annoying.
One thing that really irks me with the new set up is that threads with an unread post usually show up bold (same as the old setup) but with the current layout it's extremely difficult to tell if a thread title is bold or not.
Ah I see, there used to be a link up the top that would do that but it seems they removed it.
Not really a problem for me.
I just read the forums I want to read and just click away the stuff I don't care about
