    One of the forum functions is the way it divides long threads up into pages. This has not been working as it should on the new software, and we are still working on getting this running smoothly for everyone. In the meantime there is a way to make threads paginate properly for you as an individual.

    Go into your profile (click on your name) and click on the settings button underneath your avatar. At the top of the screen you'll see several tabs. Click on the second tab (named account) and scroll down to Posts Per Page. It will be set on forum default. Change this to one of the other options and save. This will enable you to view all threads correctly divided into pages.

    What this means is that long threads will load instantly instead of taking longer and longer the more posts that they contain. This is not a perfect solution, but it does seem to work and we will let you know as soon as we have found a permanent fix.

    That's great! :) I'll wait a bit for others to get on board, then merge them together
