If you look at the forum index at http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/ruby
you’ll see a thread titled “Camping or Merb”, and it says the last post

It doesn’t matter if I’m logged into the forum or not.
I can see there have been a number of UI changes recently. There’s a
link “Enable multi-page view” which I’ve just tried enabling and
disabling, but it seems to make no difference.

Oops, you’re right. Fortunately it’s a simple case of a cache not
expired correctly, so nothing is lost. The problem is fixed now.

There was actually a big change in the backend recently; ruby-forum.com
had been running on a very old version of Rails and RForum,
and I finally managed to get it up to the current version a few days
ago. The only notable visible improvements until now are the search (now
sunspot/solr-based) and the OpenID login, but the main advantage is that
it’s a lot easier to implement new features now without messing
everything up.

It enables pagination for VERY long threads (200 post per page). It is a
feature from another forum I run with the same software
(Forum - Mikrocontroller.net), I realize it is not of that
much use on ruby-forum.com, where all threads are well below 100 posts.
