1) Instead of looking at a threadone page at a time, I like to look at the thread as all replies on one page - even long ones - just saves me having to kep doing page loads.

On the old boards I just clicked "show all" - where's the "Show All" choice here?

2) How do I remove the "_NA" at the end of my name, or is this a lame consequence of the changes?

For Great Justice!

Ocho said they will be posting about resolving the naming conflicts soon (the _NA thing).

1. The closest I've found so far is to set the default view to show 100 posts at a time. For most posts, that is more than enough. For epic length threads, I just click the white down arrow next to the Thread Name to take me to the newest post, and I still get 100 posts per page so that works too.

2. It's a TEMPORARY thing with the NA. Apparently, there is a Metatron on the EU forums as well, and since there were duplicate names, it appended the _NA to yours and the _EU to theirs. They will be announcing Soon™ what the solution will be.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I'd love to know how to expand the boards. Right now it's one category and then clicking on that brings up the sub forums. I want to see them ALL.

If you want to see them ALL, including the French and German, I'm not sure if it can be done.

However, if you want to see an approximation of the old UBB front page of the forums, use the navigation hyperlinks at the top of the forum and click the English link. When I do that it gets me that view off ALL English Forums and their subforums.

I believe you can bookmark that view, but haven't tried so I'm not sure.

As for your first question, if you are using Firefiox you may be interested in the AutoPager addon ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4925 ). Once enabled for the site, as you scroll down the page it will automatically load the next page and paste it into the current one you are viewing, giving the appearance of viewing it all as a single page.
