How can a thread go on for five pages, generate 64 replies, and get locked because so many bystanders are offended; and yet still only have 63 views?  How can a thread have more replies than it has views?

    The forum gurus are aware of the views counter being out of whack right now. Some of the thread have a half dozen replies and zero views.  It's on the list of things to fix, but I'd guess that list is pretty long at the moment.

Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.

When using the 'Quick Reply' button and making a post....you are taken to the last page of the thread after the post is completed.

When using the 'regular' Reply button, after making the post you are taken to and left at a screen that says you made a successful post.  Redundant and illogical.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
