forum jump issue fixed.

"Did we just somehow lose all the old tech discussions, as it says there are only 15 total threads in Adv Tech Disc section?"

That is probably just the default "show threads from the last XX days" hiding older threads. That can be changed by adjusting the filter at the bottom of the thread list.

As far as the rest of the "changes" Here is the readers digest version of what happened. Mods discussed changes. Mods thought it was "OK". Announcment and thread to discuss changes were posted. For about a month nothing was changes and everyone that posted a comment liked the changes. Forum was changed. Seveal people complained. Mods said "why didn't you say something before". Response received was "we ignore Announcments and stickys" The lesson is "read the announcments and stickys"

If people are still complaining in a month or so a new announcment and discussion thread will be posted to discuss alternatives.
