Just saw that if you’re at the end of a thread and more replies get posted, it’ll automatically update with new replies. Neat!

Maybe neat, maybe not so much. There seems to be just endless scrolling rather than pages for longer threads. That could be problematic. I kind of liked being able to control updates myself, but it’s not a deal killer.

At least I changed my password and got logged in OK. It’s so new nothing much has happened yet so I can’t quite see how navigation is going to work yet.

Well, I recall several instances of posters being ninja’d because they left a thread open in a tab and responded to it some while later only to discover a dozen intervening posts in the interim. So, at least that issue will be no longer an issue.
