Links like that ^^^^^ are what I had in mind.

Sorry my previous explanation wasn't enough for you to see the point.

Since there's apparently no way for the forum software to avoid it, I guess I just won't click links here. Spammers/phishers aren't going to purposely make it easy for you to avoid their sites.

Thanks anyway.

In the "recent threads" view, it seems I can't go any further than page 14.

OK, I didn't see it that way, but I understand your point.

I just used the recent threads to catch up with the news by reading the posts from the last time I came to the forum.
It's true that today I wanted to catch up for more than 30 days of absence...
I guess I'll never know what happened between 2 and 18 september ;-)

Guess so too, unless you look for something specific or broader in a group or specific forum. For instance the new search facility allows to set search from certain time points like 1 month ago and select older or newer, if the word is in the title or the body or both and up to 100 results per page. I just did that for the BOINC moniker in the Support forums only and it was jackpot.

Something new learned today... search by e.g. only Support, Active Research, Official Messages etc., as those are the areas that interest me, mostly.

@kskjold, you make it sound like a big pile of threads was removed... not many were taken off-line. The most causing gaps is as I said the posts you're not seeing in forums you have no viewing rights to. CA forum, Admin forum and such.

To get from where I was on the forum to here, posting and not be directed time and again to another place I will not complain about [is this a complaint?].

Small cosmetics. WCG is set on my browser at 105% magnification... which is what I can comfortably read without squinting or need to crawl on top of the screen. With this % and a few more such as 140%, the My Grid text in top bar wraps. It does not do that outside the forums.

A feature suggestion. We can click the posting member link on the forum to be presented with the Forum profile. How about adding to the profile a link the to member's statistics?

And one that was bound to pop up where a member could not figure out where all the information went from the Research button over the forum e.g. the scientists page. Same button functionality as the front page would be great [if not already scheduled].
