Is it just me or is the Go to First New Post link not working?
When I click the little yellow arrow point down, I get ‘this page cannot be displayed’. If I go back and click the thread I (usually) get in just fine. This has been for a couple of days, now.
If fixing the problem (assuming there is a problem and it’s not just me) will make the Board slower, _please_ just leave it broken.

Just tested on a couple of threads here: no problem. Could just be the server traffic, perhaps?

Same here, **Juanita** , (haven’t used it in the last couple of days, but) tried it on a couple thread and it works for me.

It doesn’t work for me either. It’s not a SDMB issue, it’s either an IE or OS issue. I haven’t figured out exactly what it is, but it appears to only happen to Windows XP users using IE 6.0.

I’m using XP with IE 6.0, **Q.E.D.**.

Yes, and that’s the weird part. It seems to _only_ happen to those users, but it doesn’t happen to all of them. This _has_ to be on a support forum someplace.
