Basic question after upgrade: How do you enter the URL of a thread?
Ever since the upgrade, the URL on all threads remains http://www.flyertalk.com/milesfr.shtml as you move around the different forums. In contrast, before the upgrade the URL contained some kind of serial number. So my question is, how do you now reference to a thread in a posting?

Hopefully this will get solved by the admins.....
But in the interim, one way around this problem is to go to the forum homepage (i.e. United, Coupon Connection, etc.) and right-click (this is using IE) and choose Open In New Window.
The "old" forum URL should appear in the Address bar.
Also, at least in IE, when you hover "the hand" over the list of threads in the forum homepage, the url should also appear in the Status bar (right above all the icons on the bottom of your screen when using Win-x).

This is due to HTML FRAMES!
If you right click on the board you want and choose "Open in new window", the real URL will be revealed, and you will be out of the frame set.
