    When Ryan went to the new look one of the features lost was AutoPager. AutoPager is an add-on for FireFox, Chrome & Safari that automatically loads the next page. If you don't have AutoPager the drill is scroll to the bottom of the page, click next, wait for next page to load, repeat. With AutoPager get to the bottom of the page and the next page has automatically been loaded allowing you to continuously scroll without stopping. If you come to HAMB at any one time there are 6-7 new pages of posts. With AutoPager you just continuously scroll through the new posts without ever stopping. If you like a post and want to read it just Ctrl Click and open it in a new tab.

    That being said finding the settings in AutoPager for the new forum look has been difficult for me. Finally after much trial and error I found them. If you have AP then these are the settings to look for

    URL Pattern: http://*/forum*
    Link X Path: //a[(text()='Next >')]
    Content X Path: //div[@id=content']/*

    That will allow AP to automatically load the next page.
