Sam,
I'll take a shot at your questions. 
1. Rich mentioned that the number of views is not possible with the new forum software. I believe he has requested that update, but it is not one of his present options.
2. For a multi-page post, click on the number of the last page, not the title. That will take you right to that page - again same as before on the old forum. I've never clicked on the last post directly since I'd rather see all the posts made since I last checked that topic, not just the last one. But, I just checked and clicking the "last reply" link does take me right to that last post.
3. I haven't seen that problem.
4. It's a "Facebook-like thing". A lot of us aren't into that. I'd rather just say good job to the originator of the thread.
Jim
