Previously (for about the last year) we had made a change to show the first post in a thread - the query post or the thread topic post - on all pages when the thread got long enough to break into pages.
I've realised that this might be causing search engine issues - the larger threads, as they got divided into pages, were becoming duplicate pages with a majority of the text before scroll being the same as the other pages. Duplicate content pushes these high value pages into supplemental results and they don't rank as well on search engines.
We've thus removed this feature and now only BOLD the first post on the first page (only). Please let me know if this causes any usability issues. I'll then try to make further improvements so it's easier to read a topic.

Dear Mr. Sid,
I deem this is the most effective way to access the usability of this website. On the other hand, I was going through a thread & was exercised in routine, the 2nd page of the thread post appeared as altered then I sneaked a look to find the difference that the query post has not showed up... However, I think we could now have room for much space for any member who is reasearching a purticular link could actually be learning from the prima facie of the post. Good one and I liked it!!
I also noticed that the comment box actually works as we can take our cursor throughout. This is nice actually, reason is there are times where I forget to type a word/line and I had to long press the back arrow & edit it.. but now rather I'm elated by this. Thanks once again!
