When I do a search that brings up more than one page of hits, it's not possible to access any page other than the first one, regardless of whether I use >>>> or click on any page number.

Try it with "chomsky" -> 166 hits. Can't get beyond the first page.

thanks for pointing that out, rob. i did notice this when working on the new search function, but i forgot to take care of it. the problem is the fact that all search urls are now rewritten to a nice and tidy http://onebigtorrent.org/search/search-term, and the page parameter wasn't worked into that.
i'll fix it tonight.
