New format.. makes me dizzy

MattPharmD wrote in post #17301007
On second look, it seems that the software does first unread post by default. However, it also seems that all of the posts are unread by default so the new software doesn't know when you last looked at a post.

It has a notice that says "Go to first unread" on the New and followed page. It is kind off to the right of the middle.

Guys and gals,

Instead of just saying this new forum stinks of Chet's pickles, please indicate what you don't like about the new forum changes for Pekka to put into consideration.

Pekka worked hard and long to bring us this wonderful forum and you guys are just spitting on it without even trying it. Pekka worked on this forum for us to enjoy, and this is the thanks he gets...

Not even much thanks to Pekka for the POTN classic.


People really do complain about free things...

Too many people think the new format is hard to use because they haven't troubled to look at the help that's available. Your FYEO page isn't Google, but it's your friend.

Hit MQ for each person you want to reply to, then hit Post to Thread at the bottom.

Hit the Quote button, and an MQ window comes up with all the MQ links you had set up. Click each person to drop their quote in, add your comments, rinse and repeat.

If you would like to know why my MQ window is on the right, you can move that wherever you want it, much like the upload attachments window.

It was no easy task. I utilized k.i.s.s. when preparing my answer.

Ha! Just figured out I can quote myself from another thread! I guess that is kinda cool. So…anyone have an answer to my question above??

I was wondering about that one too... don't care about the new threads, but I'd like to quickly see the threads I'm subscribed to (or 'following' I guess).

Its got PIZAZZ! The format is pretty cool. Way better than the boring 1990 style software. Old dogs NEED new tricks. Its really not that hard to figure out.

however.. some old dogs don't have the energy to learn new tricks lol

there ya go it's tricky but once you know, it's a pleasure.

I have that same question as well...

I think we need to implement a $5 jerk jar. If you are just going to complain about things now and lament over days past, then you have to put $5 into the POTN donation jerk jar. If you want to really change things, and make it better, then contribute constructive suggestions and leave it with Pekka to find time in his schedule to possibly address them.

Bigdifference.

28 to go....

Pekka, I get the link and how it is supposed to work, but I think the OP is meaning that every time you click on the "New & Followed" link at the top of the screen, it always seems to default to the New, and not a set default on the "Followed & Own" threads...

Unless I am missing something too....
