I've just removed the forum search facility. It was causing massive loading on the server. If you wish to search the forum then simply use Google it will do a better job than the forum search engine.

This means we can't see the 'View your posts' link either. :(
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Am I the only person who pretty much exclusively relied on View New Posts and View Active Topics to use the forum?

I went with "View My Posts", and "View New Posts myself". It let me see what was going on in the topics I had responded to, and then what was new. My new pattern will be to open each forum, and go from there.

Meh, I just browsed the forum to see which topics have a red dot on them.
