• We’re currently investigating an issue related to the forum theme and styling that is impacting page layout and visual formatting. The problem has been identified, and we are actively working on a resolution. There is no impact to user data or functionality, this is strictly a front-end display issue. We’ll post an update once the fix has been deployed. Thanks for your patience while we get this sorted.

Does anyone else find this odd?

Both sites have the same Page Rank, so it's a level playing field (as far as Google).

Anandtech has 5,930 referrals.

Tomshardware has 15,600 referrals.

Anandtech has some catching up to do. If you have a site, then put their link on it, with the anchor text reading something like "Anandtech's Hardware Reviews". Also if anyone wants to dedicate a little time, start searching for all the computer hardware releated pages on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_hardware That page has a PR of 5 which is pretty good, but an additional benefit is how many other sites scrape this wiki for the content and end up displaying your link.

It would also be to Anandtech's benefit if they made old forum threads indexable by search engine spiders. After 90 days, which is when I think posts are archived, they should export them to less graphic intense static pages, and generate an Index page linked to in the footer of every forum page. Googlebot would eat it up like candy.
