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 realized 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 believe this is the most effective way to assess the usability of this website. On the other hand, I was going through a thread and was engaged in routine; the second page of the thread post appeared altered. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the query post had not shown up. However, I think we could now allocate more space so that any member researching a particular link could learn from the initial post. Well done, and I liked it!
I also observed that the comment box functions correctly as we can easily navigate through it. This feature is beneficial since there are instances where I forget to type a word or a line, and previously, I had to long-press the back arrow to edit it. Now, I am delighted with this improvement. Thanks once again!
