There are several problems.
Previous and next should be available at both the top and bottom of each
page.
There should be page number links at the top and bottom of each page.
There needs to be a "jump to unread" button on the forum. Possibly turn
the unread icon into a link that jumps to the first unread item.
The unread marks on posts disappear by the time that I have gotten to the
page that might contain an unread post. The unread marks should only be
applied to the posts visible on this page of the thread.
Having to scan through the entire thread to get to the end where there are
unread posts does not help much on a slow link.

There's only a "next 25 posts" button, but you can't return to a
previous page after you went that route.
You can't either select that you want to go directly to the end of the
thread, or to page number X, if you want to skip all in between posts.
Not much fun when there's 200+ posts in a thread.
Page numbers should be possible, as they are available for the forum index.
What I liked about the old thing was that I could load the whole
thread in one go, now it has to load each page separately, which isn't
fun when the forums are slow (which they've been the past few weeks).
But that can be overcome by filling in a ridiculous amount in the
"Display this many messages per page" box. Just let me start with
1000. ;-)
