Hi. Is it just me, or is this forum really hard to search and basically a real chore to look through in terms of usability?  Of all the forums I frequent I find this the least user friendly.

No view posts since last visit, with a filter so I can look at what interests me. Do subscribers get a decent search fields page?

And when I did finally find a thread which looked relevant for this post, and hit reply, I went to a login page - fine, but from there to a page to update my profile, and then I had to roll up my sleeves and wade right back in from the wizards from page...

How do you guys do it, posting on this forum? I mean I am doing 3 nightshifts in a row, with a lot of surf time, and frankly this forum is a nightmare to navigate. A front page with 5 latest topics, some might be Magic related - no worries, but not relevant to me. Most forums you get the hang of if they have a different implementation of say view recent topics, but this one seems very clumsy and badly thought out to me, especially considering it was recently overhauled and you could reasonably expect a lot of traffic from us rpgers.

Any advice?
