Big, New Changes for Discussions

If you've been with TeeBeeDee for awhile you know that we just updated how our discussions look.

How it works and what’s different:

- Chronology: Every comment is listed chronologically -- no more comments dropping into the middle of the line-up of replies. When you reply, it goes to the end, always. So if you're following a discussion, now you just go to the end of the list of replies to read the latest comments.

- New QUOTING feature: This makes it easier for you to quote directly from previous posts when you are replying. The QUOTE feature copies the entire comment and you can delete everything but the point you wanted to comment to.

- Pagination: Because TeeBeeDee discussions contain so many interesting comments, the threads have become long and cumbersome, making them difficult to get through. With the new design, lengthy discussions will be broken out page by page. Where once there was 75 posts on a single page, there will now be 10 distinct pages, which you can quickly click through. This will make it easier for you to scroll through comments and reply to posted material more directly. The pages will also load faster for you.

Thanks again for the feedback that helped guide us in making these improvements. We hope they enhance your TeeBeeDee community experience.

Everything is working good here. The discussion groups are great. We need look at what more people want from it too.

It is hard to discide right off the bat...

Check the Them Changes folder, where the merry villagers have already started to gather over this

I like the new changes, it will take me awhile to get used to them. That is all I am saying.

Lora

I have stated this on the other changes post but iI will do it here also.

It would be easier if when you click on the discusion on the home page where it says a reply was maybe three minutes ago, you would go right to that reply.

LoraMa,

I think I will like the changes once I get used to them. Thanks for the explanation. I am not a techie so it has to be easy for me to navigate!
