So...

You about done with it?
;)
Sorry, I couldn't resist... But don't sweat it, at least the thread count is mounting. :D

I personally believe that link should crash the whole site, as a manner of voting.

Couldn't possibly decrease traffic at this point, so where's the harm?

Wait - my previous post had a title field which has now disappeared. Whatever. This stuff is impossible to track what links to where, and what the original post, "branching post" or anything else is.

We've all seen hundreds of forums. Has anyone ever encountered anything quite so inaccessible as this? Particularly considering that, when behaving properly (most of the time), the previous forum software was some of the best I've ever used.

I'm not seeing any upside to this transmogrification. Maybe on the back end, there is a vast improvement, which would be fantastic. But I think the claim, "Simpler and lot more social" needs some supporting evidence.

I've been on about if for almost a week now. It's simple to recreate too, just go to a watercooler discussion (any will do), go to the URL and change /discussions/ to /questions/ ... every time a coconut.
