This new format is awesome !!!

A lot more functionality. Updated look. I know a lot of people don't like it, but from what I see, I don't get the arguments against it. Yes, there's a lot of pinned things up top, but the old format had that too. Some can't find thread view, but all it takes is to click on the original post in a thread and you just scroll through the responses... Seems like I am in the minority, but - hey - I like change, and I realize most folks don't....

Agreed. The old message board format was dated by about 10 years. The only thing I don't like are the numerous posts pinned at the top, but that should be a fairly easy fix once the mods get things ironed out.

You're clearly not understanding why this is the inferior format. "just scroll through the responses..." is a complete waste of time. Think about a 10+ page thread. Now you have to scroll through 10 pages of content. What an utter waste of time. Not to mention, with thread view, you can easily follow sub-conversations within a thread. Thread format is centered around conversation. This format is all about being garbage.

allow me to make it simple. when you view the threads, you see posts that interest you. when you've been around for a bazillion years, you know who you respect and tend to look for them in a thread. if they're there, i know i check their comments first.... doubt im the only one using that plan. [sometimes i look for those i despise since my guess is they will have a battle on their hands that might be fun to watch.]

if i see several of them on a thread, i will probably check the thread out even i was inclined to disregard based on the topic posted. now... my best alternative is to look for the posters and see what they have to say and then back into the topic. there really is no sense of being a part of something.. it's like posting in vacuum. you say your piece and have zero idea who is responding without going back and having a look.

in thread view, the replies are immediately obvious.

bottom line, change is sometimes but hardly always a good thing. there are so many examples in real life where change for change-sake was a horror show. time will tell if this is one of those cases. my gut hunch is this place will never be what it was... and since it was one helluva show, that will be a loss.
