Somebody's got to start this. I guess it will be me.

They've changed the format here. What do you think?

Two things that struck me right away.

1) It looks like the comments are posted oldest first. So if you want to see the newest addition to the thread, you have to scroll through everything

2) Does the new discussion format look cluttered to you?

Nick, yeah, I don't like that. The newest should be first IMO.

Also this format takes up a lot more space.

I will give it some time, but it does seem to take up more space, and I kind of enjoyed being able to scroll through a whole thread on one page. but as I said I will try to learn it and use it. It is free.

Nick weren't they always posted that way?

Well, I will tell you more after a few days of using it and getting used to it!! If it is easier for a non-techie person like to navigate, then I will love it!

I thought we were going to get emoticons!

I voted for emoticons, didn't you?

When did we get votes in this benevolent dictatorship?

The format is not bad. Just not very efficient.

It would be better IMO to save some space and go with a more streamlined forum. IMO more people are familiar with that and its easier to use...not to mention you can toggle posts to your preference oldest to newest etc.

I will have to test it out on my phone later, but it appears it wont make posting via mobile any more helpful.

More pages to click thru is going to be a turn off for some people.
