Mabe I am the only one, but I hate this new format for the forums! What happended to “last post” so I don’t have to scroll through the whole build to get to the latest post? I guess I am ambivilant about the new appearance, although it seems to conclude that we are all in need of strong reading glasses.
Been awhile since I have checked the site, so I may have missed an announcement about this. If so… someone please correct me and point me to that post. I am actually incensed enought to just stop following this forum. Childish I’m sure, but…
Anyone else have issue w/ this? At least bring back the “latest post” link yes?
Hey, Arnie, yeah there has been a change. It was announced last June, and implemented in August. If you look at the top of the first page when you go into a topic, hit the “Order Descending” link to go straight to the last post. Don’t give up on us yet!
And the powers that be here have said that they are going to fix some of the gigs that we have found and brought to their attention… Until then we have to wait and deal with the current sucky site navigation.
There’s a tab at the top “descending order”. It’s actually a lot better than before, because you don’t have to wade through the original post every time.
I like this new look a whole lot better than the last one.
Yeah. I know. New, new, new. New windows edge, new windows 10, new formats for the e-mail program, new formats for the anti virus program, new formats for excel and word. Never seems to end. Just about the time I get something figured out, something NEW.[bnghead] I’m finding out that I’m getting tired of new and just might stop with it. On top of that - I gotta teach it to the wifey as well.[:(] At the age of 73, just getting out of bed and making it to the model cave is new enough for me.[:D][:D]
not really… We used to have the ability to go to that last post on any thread immediately… Now it takes an extra step… Not a big deal until your mobile and dealing with slow load times due to poor signal… Three weeks and counting now…
Returning to work this week and relying on mobile & phone for the new format really highlights shortcomings.
I too griped about the format change, shortly after implementation. You can’t find that, as the Search function is broken. There’s no “breadcrumb” at the bottom of the page, nor a “top” button, so, you have to scroll all the way to the top to go back, too. Seems a little silly to tell us who was the last poster, and not be able to navigate to that post. (Mind, the ultimate better answer would be a “go to last unread post” but, those are lean on the ground)
Well… glad to know I am not the only one. I am all for new. I am a big advocate for change, but change that initiates an improvement. I haven’t given up yet on FSM, not with all the fine people here. Hopefully one of the moderators is tracking this thread and will take it upstairs for us. Thanx in advance if that is true.
I agree with you completely. Beside the looks of the new format, which I don’t mind, they’ve made navigation on this website much more difficult - at least for me.
