Something is amiss with the buttons on the forum. I've tried it with different browsers. Anyone else?

Also, the links to take you to the last post in a thread are gone.

Are you referring to the menu Quick Links at the top of the page?

Or perhaps there is a forum feature I have not discovered?

Hmm, not sure what to do. I've cleared the cache and rebooted. It happens both with Firefox and with Chrome. On my iPhone it looks normal, though. As I recall, you have a Mac, so it could be some Windows update, I guess.

By the "last post" links, normally there is a tiny graphic one can click to take you to the last post of a thread.

It looks like the Quick Links function is broken on the iPhone. I think the graphic is as it was, but if I "click" it, it turns red but nothing happens. Can you check with the administrator to make sure there have been no changes?

I have sent a Private Message to the administrator.

The forums have been under bot attack recently so we had to add some firewall rules that broke some things. They should be working now but let me know if something else shows up.

Yes, the buttons are back--thank you. And the iPhone quick-links button works again.

Here's what I mean by the links to take you to the last post in a thread (they're back, too).

The forum is still behaving oddly. It keeps logging me out and then takes two attempts to log back in.
