    One thing that does seem good is SEO. If I post a techy question here and do a search the next day for other solutions I usually find my own post at the top.

    Does seem quiet the last year or so but can't say I've noticed any technical problems. There's browser zoom and font size options for us old farts.

    PS Maybe I haven't noticed changes as I am still viewing 5 year old posts from my browser cache.

    If your statement is true then there would be no reason not to move the Word Association thread would there.

    If you think it works first time, you need better tests

    It makes me wonder how many of the moaners about this are actually IT contractors. 12 years of IT has told me nothing works first time.

    With you, it doesn't work first time. It just doesn't improve afterwards and eventually everyone assumes it's right.

    We call it the "Churchill post level". It resembles human activity but only just, a Frankenstein brain if you will.
