I just tried to view this thread without logging on, just to check it for updates and I was unable to view the second page. Every time I clicked on page 2, I was taken back to the first page. I had to log in just to view the second page.
Also, am I suppose to be able to click on the smileys on the right of the page when in advanced reply? The pointer indicates that I should be able to do this, but when I do, nothing happens. I always have to click on the "more" to bring up the popup of smileys.
I had a lot of irritating issues for about a week. Using chrome. Everything is now back to normal if there actually is a normal.
