1) What is this "bootstrapcdn.com" that I need to allow to even see the forums login prompt?

2) I'd like to be able to hover my mouse over a thread topic and be able to view the first sentence or so of the thread without having to click on it. Like we could in the last version.

3) When I do login, I get taken to the portal page, and a captcha. I can ignore the captcha by clicking on the Forums link. I'd like to get taken to the forums if I login from the forums. If I wanted to go to the portal page, I would have logged in from the portal page.

We're using a thing called bootstrap; it turns out they have a CDN (content delivery network) for their stuff, so i figured, why not point at that, rather than hosting it ourselves -- that allows it to be faster, as you're grabbing stuff from more locations; same as how jquery is hosted by google, so we just use theirs.

Yea, i was going to add that via ajax, but I haven't quite gotten to it yet.

Yea, that's the plan; I actually thought i'd made it do that, but apparently not...

Can you change the CSS yet so visited links are a different colour? :/

But I notice now that visited threads that get new replies now no longer have their links updated to be unvisited. :/
The old forums changed the link with every reply.

I changed the visited stuff a bit, and added timestamps so it should do that; also had to mess with the pagination to make it work properly....

Though, it's not via ajax, because I managed to make the query pretty fast anyway; initial is 3-4 ms =( but subsequent are cached, so it's like 0.020 ms
