"The new iPad is off to a great start, and across the year you're going to see a lot more of the kind of innovation that only Apple can deliver."
Does that hint at 'retina-like' displays for their/some other products?

I agree, quite a few things don't work anymore. What has become the standard on the internet is the site's logo usually gets you to their homepage. But here in the forum it takes you to the forum, not the site homepage. Same for the 'Home' link at the bottom of every page in the forum; you need to click twice to get Home.

That would be better: setup a poll for the users response and requests;

Me too; I spent way less time than when on vBulletin. Not that vBulletin was famtastic...

Haven't 'checked' that, but wouldn't be surprised.

Indeed, changes for the worse:
Auctions tab? On the bottom you can click Top Of Page, which doesn't go all the way to the top.
Price Guides tab? No footer.
Any page on AI? No title in title bar.
Huddler. "We start by getting the basics right". Right to the basics when finger was a much used protocol.
iphone.appleinsider.com only works when my iPhone is on WiFi; doesn't work over 3G - but that is a thing with my iPhone. I once reset the network settings and that URL worked again, but I don't want to reset it again as I loose all my WiFi passwords and I didn't save them all in the notes of my Address Cards, but I digress.

The real problem is it is set to email digests only by default, so people forget the thread they were in. This forum does not get enough traffic for that.
Bzzzzzzzz... you lose. The run-up started on November 28th. Guidance is [one of the reasons] that causes the big houses to buy or sell.
Try again...

You must be short. I feel sorry for you. You gotta learn how this game is played.

How's that working out for you.
If he's not planning on selling any time soon, it'll work out for him greatly.

Again... that wasn't my point... and you know it.
