Today's updated software includes:

Merge "Latest Threads/Latest Posts" (later renamed "Threads/Comments") into one "Latest Posts" link. "Latest Posts" now defaults to either Threads or Comments depending on your last view. You can toggle the view between Threads/Comments anytime; and if you are logged in the setting will be remembered.

This new link has been copied through-out the site.

The timestamp has been removed from the forums list. If you are logged in, it now remembers the last time you visited and shows the Forums in bold if there are new messages. It also shows in italics private forums that you can access, and places a blue or red star next to the name if you are a member or moderator of the forum.

And yes, when you click a forum it will go to either the threads or comments view of Latest Posts, depending on your last setting.

And there were a large number of changes under the hood.

I am having difficulty posting links in replies. Is this by design? Or is there something I'm missing. I haven't noticed any other links in posted responses lately.

Also, it appears you can no longer search by keyword -- but only by a word in the headline of an article. Again, is this by design?
