You can't have everything; after all, where would you put it?
On the comments for http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Dan/Bill-Hill-The-Future-of-Reading-on-the-Web-Part-1/ I can't get to page two. No matter how often I click on the right arrow, it keeps reloading page 1.

This only happens in IE8. Firefox 3 works fine. I haven't tested IE7.

hhhmmm...I'm on IE 8 here at home and can't repro.  I tried authenticated and unauthenticated.

I'm white because I smelt an onion.
Yeah, I have IE8 too and can't repro either.

Though, I have observed interesting bugs with opening a link in a new tab..basically, the root page will lose its history and you can't click back. Haven't bothered to actually test it to see whether it's a C9 only thing or IE8.

Yah, if you find something that's IE 8 only, but works fine in IE 7, then you should report that to the IE team (I think they take their feedback on Connect, but I'm not totally sure).  We're rendering the tag that tells IE 8 to render like IE 7, so if it doesn't work like IE 7, then it's their bug.

It finds lightbulbs.
I'm on IE6, and in the "Windows 7 is called Windows 7" thread, when I'm on page 3 I can't get to any of the other pages. Both the previous page and first page buttons just reload page 3.

IE 6 is one of those..."it should work", but we haven't put much time into making it work so it might not.  Expressionless

Nuts. I can't really blame you there, though. I really should entice people over here to upgrade IE already.

Weird that no one else can reproduce this. It's 100% consistent here, even after clearing the cache. It only happens on that one thread, all others are fine.

We'll chalk it up to more C9+IE8 weirdness. C9 and IE8 are a terrible combination at the moment. C9 manages to crash IE8 (which fortunately brings down only the one tab) about ten times a day, because of simple actions like selecting text or scrolling. No other site does that in IE8, so I'm not sure what's causing it.

Look, no errors.
No, we can reproduce the issue, albeit in different browsers.

I've been getting around it by copying and pasting the link of the page number link, just right click and copy.
