I don't like the "View New Posts" feature. It's too much information. :huh:

You'd rather have it where it just listed the forum titles/authors/dates without the boxes...?

^-- Yeah. But that's okay, I found another "Today's Active Topics" button to use instead. The View New Posts is too confusing. 'Cuz it displays everybody's individual posts... TOO MUCH INFO>!

Is there a bug with the "Today's Active Topics" function? Every time I click over to the second or third page of active topics, it gives me an error...

I tried clicking on some of the active topics and they worked okay for me. What type of an error are you getting?

No, the topics themselves work fine. It's when I try to get to the next page of active topics that I get the error. Right now it's showing four pages of active topics in the upper left hand side of the topic list but each time I click, it gives me this error:

The avatars uploaded since 10/6 were unfortunately lost. What happens when you try to upload your new avatar...? If you're still getting problems, try uploading it using a different filename.

It actually just poped back to the correct avatar later on that day.

It was scary...
