Something weird going on with the forum ???

[roadster32]

No matter what page of my build thread i click on it starts with my no1 posting ???

Yeah, it's a "New Feature" that was turned on over the weekend. We debated it and it seems most didn't care for it but one or two did.

I personally hope it goes back to the "old way". But we'll deal with it. Also check out the Garage tab above.

If they want my opinion its a shite feature, why do they have to change things when they ain't broke ???

[34_40]

Well.. I guess I could repeat my self and say it's on their dime so it's basically their choice. Not all change is bad either! Imagine where we'd be if Ol' Henry didn't want to try a light v-8!?!?! As of now I find it annoying, but I also learned you can hit the little blue button on the left and you'll jump to the last new post in a thread! So I skip over the "new feature" and it's become a non-issue!

I thought it was just my computer screwing up. I just don't get why we have to keep changing things. Quit while we still have some of the original members left.

I completely agree Don, many times i come here it just times out on me
To be honest its pretty frustrating and then the powers that be change stuff.
I really have made some great online friends here and obviously i come here to keep in contact with Don also, but i find i'm spending less and less time here these days. shame

I've been using Mike's "Blue Dot" approach, and thought that it solved the problem but I just realized that it does not. The blue button indeed takes you to the first new post in a given thread, but if you then scroll up the next post above that newest one is post #1 in the thread. For example, I clicked the blue dot on Steve's '41 Willys Build post, went straight to post #691, but I could not get to post #690 in any way - scroll up to post #1, buy that's all that's there. In order to see the sequence one must go back up top, select page 46, and that page shows the previous posts. BUT it also shows Post #1 again, which by the way has twenty five (25) pictures associated, and requires scrolling through twenty five (25) screens to get to the sequential posts. I had not realized the impact of this change, but I now agree 100% that the "new improved feature" SUCKS!

Hey try this out. Under Settings / General Setting, change the view to Threaded - newest first. I just tried it and it seems to bypass the Original Post as it is now on the bottom.... I'm testing it now.

Bill mentioned when all of this started that he had always (from the very start of CHR) had his General Settings on "Newest First" and that he saw no problem. Might be the answer, but it just seems backwards when one looks at a thread to have it in reverse chronological order....
