We need a "next" button as well as page numbers/lat page buttons.

When following a link it used to open in another window now it doesn't and if the site you go to is one of those annoying ones that stop the "back" button working then you're stuffed. Please have links open in new window, thanks

wow, OK whatever was just done improved things, it looks like you now have some frame borders set to 1 when they should be 0 in places though...

I don't often look on here..let alone post! I haven't read all the posts...so apologies if I repeat anything. Whilst I know we often hate change...I keep an open mind and welcome new changes that might improve what is after all...a good, free site.
I find that what is troubling me at the moment...apart from the problems you did seem to quickly rectify...that as now, when I am posting..I have to physically move nearer to the keyboard!...even with my specs!
I also liked the 'lines/margins' that seperated the posts...I am now looking to see wher one ends and one begins...or is that my computer?
I do think it would have been helpful to warn of such major upheavals!...then again...maybe I missed that too!

hmmm .... Well this morning I posted an answer to a question, but hadn't logged in before doing so. Got the usual log in and then the page with the answer and the submit button, submitted the answer and nothing ... that was a couple of hours ago.
Logging in before answering the question solved it and the answer did appear immediately

I do find the font on the postings a little on the large size but I guess you have done that so that older people or those with eyesight problems can read the material easily. It's probably too much to ask that a facility could be provided to allow the user to change the font size to the preferred level.

POSTING IN THE RIGHT TOPIC
When posting a question, please include a stage (or just a new field) where the user has to confirm the topic/subtopic into which it is to be posted. This could be done using a drop down menu with each of the topics included, default value set to the current topic/subtopic.
e.g there are so many questions to do with the new format being posted in numerous of the topics whereas maybe they should all be in AB Suggestions.

Sorry if this has already been said. I use quizzes and puzzles a lot and when searching it is usual to put the crossword title, a gap and then the crossword number. This used to work reasonably well, but now it's coming up blank even though I know there are answers. Others are complaining the number part is ignored and many answers come up relating to previous crosswords with a different number.
Androcles I am using Firefox and it is working, though not perfectly.
EDITOR: Could you please get the techies to do something about the search facility on questions and answers. If I search for questions on EV 879 I get lots of old EV's with different numbers but can only get as fat as 865 or some such then it stops. I don't want to look at old threads, I want to join in the current one. Thanks
