That seems to have worked.

Crap, now this one looks just like a certain other board that will remain undercover.  Maybe I can change the theme there.

My jump to first unread post hasn't worked in a while.  But with how they have my laptop clamped down at work, I just assumed it had something to do with that.  I.E. java and activex don't work so I can't use the formatting buttons and just have to memorize the coding for them.

You are clicking on the "New" image which appears next to a thread title on the thread index page for each forum, right? Or are you clicking on the "View the most recent posts on the forum" link on the forum index?

I'm going to try and get to the bottom of this issue. I can confirm that I experience the same problem, but I have not been able to find any information on Google about others having the same problem. I'll keep looking, though.

I use that and then the "new" beside the thread titles and don't seem to have any problems.

Speaking of HN.  Using google's cache, much of the site can be found.  Now that would make an interesting geek project, rebuilding HN from google cache and putting it in a new DB.

Anyway, here are some nuggets that I found

..."And lo... it was written in the book of Hackernetworkius how it was that SpurtReynolds did live in exile from that which the wandering ones call JEFF.COM, and that he had received the wrath of Mike, and yea, verily even the wrath of those who 'swang from his nuts', and Spurt did come to the Land of Pepe (may all his dopjeo
    null), as well as to teh Geekery (OMFGLOL!!11). And with much ferocity Spurt didst wield his NOTEPAD.EXE as a flaming sword of righteousness for the faithful and true among HN's chosen..."--

From the book of Pbsaurus:

"And the ignorant were smitten by a torrent of frogs that were impervious to fire but had no other apparent use but for tissue harvestation in order to reattach a mandible to the rest of a skull from a decapitated person that was dredged from the bottom of a lake in order to start up a ventrilloquism act. And the Pbsaurus, then out of breath, fired up the trusty 5241G to dismember those that survived the torrent of frogs that were impervious to fire but had no other apparent use but for tissue harvestation in order to reattach a mandible to the rest of a skull from a decapitated person that was dredged from the bottom of a lake in order to start up a ventrilloquism act. After the carnage had subsided, Pbsaurus jumped over the bar and quickly poured ErgosumDominati a cold one. ErgosumDominati proposed a toast and there was much merriment. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Demosthenes was checking IPs from the Libris Mortuus, when the Evil Pepe alarm went off. Demosthenes slid down the ModPole to the ModCave and started surveilance. Demosthenes's trusty sidekick Lady Marmalade was already down in the ModCave trying to pinpoint the location of said sighting. Sure enough, there was an Evil Pepe sighting in the Newbie Board....."--Pbsaurus 10-16-2002 11:12 PM

Hurray!  I found my Armando thread.  It's good too, cause I'm not sure exactly where I put the copies I printed out.

I spent some time retrieving the Poetry Corner (aka Armando) thread. I found all 14 pages except page 6. For some reason, page 6 just isn't cached anywhere. If anyone has page 6, let me know. I will be restoring the thread at Armando.org as soon as I have a little spare time.

We must not forget archive.org.

The problem with archive.org (aka Wayback Machine) is that it mostly archives static HTML pages. Forum threads are generated on the fly using (in HN's case) PHP. You will find old versions of HN's front page, as well as the forum main menu, which were static pages. Anything beyond that was not archived with any regularity.

Googlebots are a different matter. They cause forum pages to be generated. I found almost all of the Poetry Corner (aka Armando) thread by searching for hackernetwork.com Poetry Corner and displaying cached versions of all the hits. It's a time-consuming process to dig these out, and is still hit-or-miss. For example, I was able to recover all 14 pages of the Poetry Corner thread, except for page 6. Somehow, no Googlebot ever went there.

I'll give the Haiku threads a try when I have the time.

As an update: I have yet to bump into any documentation of the problem (The "New" link not working). If anyone somehow comes across information as to why it doesn't work, please post the solution here.

It works fine at SAF.  Perhaps you and Dangermonk can compare set-up notes.
