WEEKLY CHAT (non-osprey) TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2018

I brought up original forum and this is what came up in the new format so hopefully I can get this up every time now.

Lynette: We are safe; thank you.

Re the redesign:  I don't like this business of having to scroll up or down the page to make sure I' m seeing all the posts - at least that's what it appears I need to do .   And if we all arrange the "Oldest/Votes/Newest" differently does that mean that some of us may not see all the responses?    ( I also don't give what my dear old Mum would call a tuppeny-tiinkers curse about Votes or Top Replies.)

I agree, Annette - if this is an "improvement" I'll eat my hat! <sigh>

Good Morning, Everyone. Cloudy & misty here. Trying to make sense of the Brexit drama, let's hope none of this leads to another Election as that would be disastrous for the country. Off to the dentist for my checkup this morning.

Hi all still confused - I am replying to Lindybird whose post says it was 51 mins ago but why isn't this at the top of newest?

Maybe I should have posted here??

That's the problem.....they're all out of time order. It would take hours each day to manage to see all the posts made in just an hour or two! Grr!

Just done the survey it didn’t make for pretty reading.....

Now I can see why Mrs T decided to go...

i never use my PC probably not been fired up for a year but I am at one with my I phone..

This set up is like nothing I have used before. I use banking shopping Facebook etc with ease. Some techy guy needs to rethink this or the site will be a ghost page..

Hey, folks. You all can make whatever decisions seem best for you, because I don't post that much. But here's a suggestion: It might be best if everyone just agrees not to reply to others' posts. That is, don't click reply after someone's post, so that your comment is indented and appears underneath that person's comment.

Instead, everyone could always make a fresh, new post.

(1) Go to the top of the thread.
(2) Click the big REPLY button under the original post that was made by the person who started the thread.

That way, everybody's posts will align with the margin, and they will appear in chronological (time) order. The thread would then look like it did before the format change. Posts would not get buried and missed because they appear indented under others' comments.

Would that help everyone? It could be less time consuming than combing through all the posts looking for replies? This Weekly Chat thread is much longer than the short threads on the main Community that focus on a few photos and then are abandoned. So the rule that every post is a new, fresh post may work out better for this thread?

I honestly don't care. I was just trying to help.

I think that once people realise thby have to use the reply button on the original post it will get better. People are still trying to get to grips with how to use this new "intuitive" community forum
