The new format with folders. Why?
 

The other way was better and the change unnecessary.

...and it's not close. I also don't like clicking on the thread title and having it take me to the most recent response instead of the original post.

I hope this is just a bad dream.

hmmm. mine has always took me to the most recent post that i had not viewed. still does. there is likely a setting somewhere.

Re: The new format with folders. Why?
 

Hmmm...I checked out my preferences, and couldn't find anything. But I know I haven't changed anything recently.

Frustration mounts...

Re: The new format with folders. Why?
 

I also hate the search feature. Where you click on 'show all user posts'. click on a post then go back and gives u a error saying u are searching to fast.

Re: The new format with folders. Why?
 

What do the folders mean anyway. Is there an explanation of the changes that I have been to lazy to see.

yes, this is annoying.... old format clearly much better.

Bump. The changes aren\'t an improvement.
 

Go back to the old format. This is confusing and less user friendly. Barron, don't let your first imprint as mod be a bad one. Just go back to how it used to be. Much simpler.

Clicking on a thread title and being taken to the latest response is dumb. So is looking for open and closed folders. Simply seeing red responses as the ones you haven't seen yet was more than simple and fine.

Re: Bump. The changes aren\'t an improvement.
 

it was so so so much better the way it was. this does suck and im using the site much less since this chan...

actually on second thought keep it the way it is now.

Re: The new format with folders. Why?
 

what exactly is different for you guys on a use level?

I agree this new format licks but i don't think Barron had anything to do with it. Its used throughout 2+2.

Re: Bump. The changes aren\'t an improvement.
 

but what do the folders mean?

come on, do you seriously think an MBA student is capable of doing anything involving the internet? [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

Re: The new format with folders. Why?
 

I don't get what is different... If you view it in flat instead of threaded, everything is still the same... And if you're viewing still in threaded you are really missing out.

the post locking thing is gay and makes no sense either. this whole site is getting lame. total time spent on this forum today by me: 3 minutes.

Yes.

If this makes you all stop using threadded, everybody wins.

Re: Bump. The changes aren\'t an improvement.
 

hate it.

It just adds clutter and makes the forum less readable.

Re: The new format with folders. Why?
 

i agree. the old format was WAY easier to use.

The only difference for me is that there's a column of seemingly meaningless folder icons to the left of the posts.

Re: The new format with folders. Why?
 

Well, it used to be that posts that I had not yet read in a given thread were blue in color. Now, there is no color differentiation. On the main page, I can see that there are (say) 10 new posts in a thread but when I go to that thread, the 10 new posts are not identified in any way. So, I don't bother with the thread anymore and just move on.

Maybe I am doing something wrong with my preferences setting or whatever...any suggestions?

Same problem, its very annoying.

Re: The new format with folders. Why?
 

Yes, click on the "flat" link up top-right. That's how almost everyone reads threads and it's mucccccch better/easier. There is a setting in your preferences to what to default to too.

The main thing that is different is that when you are viewing the bottom post of a thread, and then click refresh, it will take you to the very first post.

Re: The new format with folders. Why?
 

Thanks, Bk but even in flat mode, I can't tell what posts are new and what I have already read.

Re: The new format with folders. Why?
 

in flat mode the new ones go to the bottom. It's not the same as threaded mode where they go in between. If there are new posts click the "Jump to first unread post." link at the top left part.
