Did you test for usuability or just dump it on us with less usability and options ?

Where are the options on each thread to -
1) go to latest post ?
2) go to last unread post ?
3) go to first post ?
Well 3) is there but as far I can see is the only option which is useless for many threads that now have hundreds of pages!
How about a post to explain if a feature has changed how to re enable such feature or the reason why its is no longer available.
At the moment this site is unusable to me and I don't feel like trudging through every option trying to make it usable.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE LOOK WHICH I COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT, its about FUNCTIONALITY! WHICH IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT AND WILL LIKELY DRIVE PEOPLE AWAY

I totally agree! This has clearly not been tested properly! Being able to skip to the last page of a post is one of the most basic requirements!Virtual sealed pot 2019 member #6 :j

Well, we do live in an age where the traditional concepts of usability and testing have pretty much been shelved.As it stands, though, the site is pretty much unusable; it's turned my 1920x1080 monitor into a single message display with a load of colourful guff around it.I'm not sure what library the developers have used, but I think they forgot that the purpose of a forum it to provide a vehicle to promote (written) conversation; that seems almost incidental with the current layout.2

It was, imo, only tested by the developers who obviously gave themselves a big pat on the back for doing and providing a useless, user unfriendly site/job.

I would like to see the time stamp on each comp as I go back 24 hours each day to make sure I'm up to date. Also when you hovered over the links on the previous system a pop up appeared to give you some details of the comp, this has disappeared which is frustrating.
