We know, and we need to update the UI to reflect this.
It's actually a safety mechanism.

I don't really understand your reply; let me explain the problem I had:
When I searched for that post, I found a hit - one of the replies that were made. So I tried clicking Prev to get to the original post, and got dumped at the First.
So I'm not sure what "UI update" you have in mind, but I truly would like to have the Next and Prev buttons work. 
|

|
|

I suspect the safety in question is the load on the DB servers, and wanting to avoid making it easy to DDOS the site by generating large numbers of intensive page requests.
I know a number of other sites that limit or disable searching entirely due to problems like that.

2x12=24
1x12=12

The UI update is to remove the next/previous simply to make it more consistent with reality.
We have a larger fix that uses some fiendishly clever SQL to allow fast paging at deep levels, but we haven't had a chance to get the bugs out of this yet.

Well, I can certainly understand why using Next and Prev to get to page 8000+ doesn't make sense, but if you land on page 8000 via search, why don't you want to have Prev and Next operable?
|
|
|
|
|
We do want it operable. But to make it operable requires and ensure the system doesn't implode requires us implementing smarter code to deal with those cases. We haven't had a chance to fix that code, so we've simply disabled the ability to page at that depth for now, since at least it protects us from spiders.

Ah. Got it. Someday I'd like to hear about your anti-spider defenses.

Noticed a couple of bugs recently (well one ages ago and one this morning)
1) When i post an answer, there is a grey horizontal line appear which i think is the delimeter used for the Solution and vote area, it is offset to the right and therefore extends beyond the bounds of the solution area.
2) When i post a solution, the improve answer button has additional character which disappears on a refresh of the page. It shows "Improve Answer" initially.

You mean the 1st one. Yes, and it was reported ages ago here[^]. 
See the above suggestion in that page as well. IMHO, it's a good suggestion. But the hamsters seem too busy doing changes in reputation system everyday.

Time for a more creative Back button?

But it will probably look streaky.
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

Oink! Oink! Flap! Flap! Floss! Floss!
So, the porkers are doing aerobatics, and flossing at the same time: can we have a rashicon now? 
Oh, and a CListCtrlicon as well...

That sounds like a good emoticon, too.

I look at my posts and every time I click on it, the View counter gets updated. Does not make sense. I do not need to know how many times I looked at it. I only need to know how many times other people looked at it.

If you think about it, views kind of rate the questions popularity...So if the person who created a post clicks on it once a day for 365 days, there will be 365 views..but it could be that nobody viewed his message. So the person who posted will be thinking..damn somebody viewed this but nobody is answering. It would be nice if the person who posted could see '40' views and say 40 people viewed this.
One thing is I guess there could be posts with no views..but at least the person who posted knows about it.
