Format completely sucks....

What do you mean current posts? Click on the thread you'd like and all the posts in the thread are listed in chronological order.
 
Not sure why all of the complaints. I was the post the night before last that this new format was being introduced yesterday. I came in very sceptical and on first glance seemed very apprehensive but, honestly, I'm really liking the new format. I don't have any more difficultly in following conversations or threads in the new format and everything seems far easier to navigate. New, ...yes, ......"sucks", far from it. With that said, I think a lot of the complaints we see when new formats are revealed are just from people who are adverse to change. These are the same people that you could tell that if they take a current $10 bill to the bank to turn it in the bank will give you a new different looking $20 bill and they would refuse to do so because it is different.
 
Lighthouse, this is no improvement nor is it doubling anything other than frustration.

I'm also a fan of the new format and features, not a paid member here but thinking of joining because of how much I like the new format. The bonus is it's much easier to read on a smartphone.

With that said I'm not sure some of the privacy settings are working. I deselected the "show online status" checkbox but there is still a green dot next to my profile pic. Checking on another browser where I'm not logged in and there is no status indicator so I don't know if the setting is working or not.

I am fine with the changes. I am just trying to figure out all the different features...I was able to add an Avi photo....a good looking biscuit. ha ha.
 
I am fairly intelligent but, WOW, what a shock when opening this today for the first time!!

Do we have a capability to select the format we would like to view or is this it? Right now I
am totally freaking out. Change is hard for this o'l guy, too!!! HELP!
 
have no idea how to get current posts
best i can tell, this will (in general) drive the older crew (those using pc's and laptops rather than their phones) to use the site less and invite the millennial/tweeter crew to replace them. maybe that's a good thing... curious how this will play out when the season gets here. right now most activity centers on format...

that will change when football takes center stage. then, readers will get to decide if they miss experienced football fans who have been part of the penn state story since the 60s or prefer kids who have little or no idea what joe paterno was all about. time will tell.

Now we're going to forget about Joe because of topic view?

This is getting good.

You know, if thread view would've stuck around, I bet it would've brought peace to the Middle East and cured the world's poverty.
