It sucks
a) Can't go the latest post (before there was a little button)
b) Doesn't seem to refresh immediately
c) Doesn't show the last poster name

I guess it saves you a buttload of database queries, but it still sucks royally :(

It really sucks. Please change it back if possible.

I have a feeling it has something to do with the facebook add.

A 3rd party plug-in died over the weekend and was causing issues, so it had to be removed. Unfortunately that plug-in is what updated the latest threads how it was. Eventually Rick will try to get it back to how it was before. It is just going to take some time.

So it's gone, yet the page doesn't stretch full width as if the bar were still there. What gives

No sidebar here, and screen is not stretched. What web browser are y'all using?

Still here, both in Chrome and IE9. No button to jump to last post either.
