2) Missing thread index - you're right, they're gone. You can go back using the jump-to-message-number box at the right, but there is still no current method of getting a chronological listing of messages at that point. Definitely a tool that will need to be re-installed in some form.

What "jump-to-message-number box"? I don't see one...And do you have to know the number of the message you want? What if you have only a vague idea of when the particular message you are looking for was posted -- which is far more likely? Or what if you just want to review what people were posting about a particular subject a month/six months/year/two years ago?

If SI drops the index feature, I think it will also lose some of the more thoughtful posters here...
