Can I change the forum back to the old format? The last two weeks have been so confusing.

I can't figure this thing out either. Does the software just pick some random post to display when you click on a thread?

I think it tries to pick up first unread post.

It always has and still does "try" to get the last read post (in flat mode). However, now when you add a post in the middle, it takes you to your post rather than to the post you were replying to. Hence losing your position in the thread.

Long said, I thought, when he first opened the thread. I use flat view and I've had the same experience he has. It's inconsistent. Threaded mode I forgot about. Should have been more detailed in my post. Sorry.

I use the threaded mode and the new format is terrible....
There is a HUGE bug.....that shows posts that I have NOT read as being read.....

Threaded mode is still being tweaked, so don't assume it will stay like this. Even if it does, most of the 'weird' stuff related to the new threaded mode has already been fixed. You may not like the new ordering, but at least now it's consistent.

Nobody should expect to see the old software make a return, though. The big wigs seem to be very happy with the new stuff.

This shouldn't be a problem if you're reading the forums in flat mode.
