Well?

I'll be very upset if all my stuff I wrote here since 2007 is gone, you know "find all posts by" and then the back pages archives of all one's posts. Is that still here?
Also I had some fairly popular threads I started in "Band On the Run" and don't see them in there now ! I did a lot of work on those.
I don't see my favorite topics in this forum !! "Talk More Talk"--And they'd been on the first few pages, most of them!
I guess they're still working out the kinks and quirks and bugs, etc.
The new layout does seem kind of cool. Something different and new. They sprang it on us all of a sudden, well, I usually like surprises and Macca does seem to like them too and to give them.
Big excitement in next few days with his and Band's concerts in Australia ! And now this new look for the forums. Hope it's all good. We'll find out.

Hate it!! Love Paul, hate this. Too bulky. Can't see on opening screen who last posted. Go Back!!!

Don't like it at all. Navigation is more awkward and why on earth when you look at a forum, do the threads seem to be in random order, rather than have those with the newest posts on top? It's nuts.
I agree - I'm having a hard time to say the least. I haven't found the threads on which I usually post yet!

It seems to sort the threads by the date in which they were created. How stupid. All our popular & regular threads have been around for AGES. They are PAGES back. You can do a search for them & post but then they go way back where they were.
oh goodness...

that does seem to be one of the biggest issues so far. i'm not crazy about the way everything is sorted by default.

Wish I could access the subblack background. It is much easier to read the board with light colored text and dark background. Having cataracts is like being snowblind.

I'm using the subblack (from before) but only the edges are black now. I sure hope someone is keeping track of all the problems now.

All you have to do is go to the forum you want and then change the ANY to 1 day or 7 days and only the most recent threads will pop up.

I'll have to try that. But it doesn't seem to save your choice even as far as oldest or newest first.
edit: I tried that. It didn't work when I set it to 2 weeks but it DID work when set to 7 days.
Gosh...everything is more difficult. So many more steps to get to a thread.

Is this now the most active thread? I'm starting here and I don't know yet if I'll arive there & certainly not everywhere!

Right. You have to continually change it to 1 day or 7 days and also select newest for not only the Forum, but the Thread. Jeez! Thanks for the posting pics help. I got it now!

Really! Where's all our threads??? (I actually know...they are buried.)
I really someone would address this situation.

No problem. It's the blind leading the blind.

I did this:
Sort By
Newest
Oldest
---> Popular
I clicked on Popular and it looked the most familiar .
I noticed that you do have to keep clicking the buttons instead of it being "Set" and staying.
I keep coming in here and trying things ..... trying mostly to stay and visit .....because ... the gut feel is
not as much .... I was hoping to change that and make a few discoveries that will convince me to try try again.
<--- if that is a red apple (and not a tomato or strawberry) ... Let It Be

Is popular a new option? I don't remember it. It does work that way...but then when I did that, this thread did not show up.

Looks like "Popular" only shows up when you are at the beginning of the thread
Such as Talk More Talk,
but not if you are already looking at a thread (then it is newest and oldest).
I think
I went back.....
This thread was nowhere to be seen.
After a few clicks I found it again ....
I cannot find one thread .....even with the search magnifyn glass .... so I donno at this time.

I think everything is hit or miss. Sadly enough.
<whatever that means.

Agreed. And no bams! Travesty.
