I have no idea why the poll got hosed.
I've edited and re-opened and hopefully this time it sticks.

Will be interesting to find how many page views and new posts/threads per day there are now compared to 48 hours ago. Cannot be good for business.
Getting the junior high school IT work experience kids to play with the web site was not a good idea. These changes are not the work of professionals
Seems impossible to go back a page or 2 to look at previous posts. Only getting a page with the last posts. For me that’s 20 to 40 depending on the adds & post size.

Ditto for me on the poll - not working.
I'm not 100% sure I'm remembering correctly... wasn't the "Show Printable Version" able to show all posts in a thread at once, or at least more than the 40 posts per page limit? I admit I've never used the feature before, but it figures that now that I want to actually print a rather long thread, I can't get it to give me more than 40 posts per page. I also tried the old "archive" trick and that doesn't seem to work any more.

I'm using IE11 to try and view this mess, but it keeps locking up on me. The few times I actually am able to view things, the layout is just so darn scattered, that it really makes it undesirable to read.
I guess it's back to the other site for the time being until this monstrosity gets repaired.

And yes, the irony of the poll not working isn't lost on all of us

Kiwi, which browser are you on? It's showing up as the whole width of the page for me. Also, sorry for quoting you a bunch. I'm responding as I go down the list.

My suggestion for admins would be to globally disable infinite scroll for all users. If a user wants that terrible, buggy, memory abusing feature they can seek it out. It would resolve many peoples issues. Then you just have to deal with layout and theming.. oh and all the bugs.
