Hi Everybody, The present practice of entering posts in "time of arrival sequence" gets to be confusing if there are more than two or three Replies. I frequently don't know who is replying to who. At the very least, is there any chance of having the reply posted underneath the post to which it replied. Better yet, how about listing the posts in the indented manner used by newsgroups. Why can't a forum mimic the format of a newsgroup. I consider the forum format to be a giant leap backwards before the creation of civilization.Phil
I also do not like the re-ordering of the sub-forum titles depending on your last viewing. I find it requires much more brain power to navigate using this method. I prefer lists to stay ordered the way they were the previous time, it allows for automatic location of areas of interest. No doubt someone thought this was a good idea. Hah!!...

Is that what it is doing? I thought it was showing them in order of their newest post. But I agree, it is not a good thing to do. It is better to have a fixed and logical subforum order.
Above all, the suite category should never be allowed to float to the top of the list, because otherwise we perpetuate one of the biggest problems with the old forum -- that people post there for no better reason than it is the one at the top. Something like 80% of the content ought to be in either the CorelDraw or the photopaint forum, leaving us having to guess which one the user is actually using.
