new message board format is confusing me


I don't really get the new format of the message board.  When I log on I see posts that are at the top of the board that were there days ago, and then new ones are way below.  It seems that they move up as they are replied to not kept in the order in which they were posted.  Is this accurate?  Is it confusing for anyone else?  Is it my computer jumbling it all up?  Can it go back to the old way?  LOL = change is difficult.  If not, any ideas as to how to keep up?

Lynn,
I'm having the same problem. It's driving me crazy. Maybe someone out there is computer literate?

What happens is...

Whenever someone responds to a post, even if it's older, it moves to the top.
It's ok, but makes it easy to miss new posts.

Sheesh... glad you guys are figuring this out.... I thought I was just losing my mind here, as I couldn't find recent posts all of a sudden!!

Yeah, it is a new change but I kind of like it... last time I checked we had over 125 pages of previous posts, so if anyone wants to keep one relevant, just respond to it Pretty cool to me.

Lynn,


You were not the only one who is confused. I thought I messed up the format for myslef. If you want to see new posts go to the bottom of the screen and where it says last modified, click on that and choose start date. That will have the newer posts on the top.


Thanks for letting me know that I wasn't the only one.

And here I thought it was me.  I thought it was odd all day but because I was at work and I was only popping in every once in a while I wasn't sure.  I do not like it.  It is very confusing and could lead to missing someones post that might need help or might help me.

I don't think it's intended to be this way. Also when reading a thread, I used to click the GO button at the bottom and be returned to the page that had all the topics on it. Now it just brings me to the top of what I've just read. Again, I don't think it's intended to work that way.

Ah, this is cool, we HAVE control!!! 


Dolphin is correct, at the bottom of the Board pg it says: Last Modified & a drop down screen, by selecting "Start Date" the posts will be in the same old order as before.  (Thanks, that's good to know!)


Jill, in a year I never knew you could hit 'Go' to get back to the beginning, I always clicked on Board Start. 


Nice to know we have choices in how we get to view our Board making it more idividuated to our own desires.  Looks like they are making it more user friendly ~ John thanks for your tireless efforts to make continually make improvements.

One thing I DON'T like is....

Now, when replying to a post it doesn't show the original post below the reply box, so you can't reference what was said without paging back.

Can't say I'm too fond of the new format. I wonder if someone for some reason answered a post that was 6 mo. old if it would bring it to the top of the page. Sheesh!

Now I'm an old woman with bifocals who doesn't need any more confusion in my life! lol Here I thought it was me, or my cold medicine. I much prefer the old way. I'm all for trying new things, but if it isn't broke, why fix it? I agree with Christy on not being able to see the original post, it was helpful to have.

Live strong,
Karilynn

Oh - I am so home with all of you - I was freaking out!!! - I still struggle with change and control - I am so "internetly challenged" - I had just began to figure out how to work this web site (don't even mention entering a chat room-I can't even grasp how you would do that) and then these changes happen???????  What in the world is that about?  It was messing with my serenity - then I had to laugh - my HP moving me out of my comfort zone (He likes to do that to me a lot - no really - I mean A LOT!!!)


So, now I will try the sort by date thing and if I mess anybody's post up -I apologize ahead of time - OK


Progress not Perfection -


Having a good day even if I can't find the new post (lol)
