Something has changed. It used to be bad, but now it's worse.
Occasionally, I like to stroll through old threads in the 'Sawmills and Milling' subject area. I would start on the oldest page, and work my way forward through time. There are over 300 pages, so I wouldn't do this all in one sitting. Getting back to a page where I'd previously left off was a bit of a pain, because the page navigation widget would only let me skip over about 7 pages at a time. It took a bunch of clicks to get to page 150.
I don't know how long it has been this way, but I just noticed that the page navigation widget has changed so that it now will only allow me to advance one page at a time. Now apparently it will take 150 clicks to get to page 150 (unless I'm missing something). I'm worried about repetitive stress injuries.
