I keep seeing the posts excepts on the homepage being attributed to the previous poster in that thread. Example being right now in the Newsroom where on the homepage the post is apparently written by
BBC News Fix

Ooh, Avast had detected a threat with a user-uploaded image on the home page! A false-positive, or is anyone else experiencing it with other anti-virus software?

There's been an RTP and email from a couple of other members too. Suspect it's a false positive as Kaspersky and Symantec haven't flagged anything. At least it's off the homepage now anyway.
When on the Multiview page, the page navigation links ( [1] [2] [3] ... [10] [Previous] [Next]) only appear at the top of the page, and not at the bottom as well. A very minor issue, I know, but it would be nice to not have to scroll up to the top of the page each time

I've been correcting it manually by adding extra blank lines where necessary.
