Yes, but at this stage wouldn't it be great to get an update/timeline etc as to the new implementation!? Or is that too much to ask....? I'm sure there are many who cannot figure out the finer details of navigating the sub pages of a forum like Tom's one (as it is quite unique in many ways), so updating the community on what is an important factor is not too much to ask IMO.
Also, although I appreciate anort3's explanation, from my point of view at least, there were zero issues in posting, replying, viewing any part of the forum front page, or how it interacted in the back round. So from a user point of view, it seemed to work absolutely fine. So what gives?
I'm not suggesting for one moment there is anything nefarious occurring, but rather, wouldn't it be nice for us (as in, those involved in helping to contribute to this community over the years) get a crumb of info to let us know whats going on. 2 weeks now!
