I don’t think that this forum will be going away soon so there is only one thing left to do and that is find solutions and make suggestions. One thing that I would recommend is a help file with all the questions and answers laid out. We can only hope that a few suggestions from the users might be implemented in what I feel may be a top down organization. In any case there has to be a system for navigating this soon to be mastered by all of us forum if suggestions are freely given by those that have learned a trick or two on how to accomplish a given task.

A convenient feature on this new forum places ones most recent reply under the post answered. The drawback is that we have to fill in our own tagline to identify what post we are replying to. Problems may occur when there is a flurry of multiple replies. How would he or she know if the replies are directed at them or chatter between the different repliers since the most recent one is stuck right under the other most recent one which makes the whole thing a bit chaotic.

The answer: Place both respondents names right in the post as was done on the old forum with date and time.

Perhaps they could figure out a way to find who’s replied to you, without having to peruse (cruise) the front board.

Anyone is welcome to add to this short list. Leaving the forum is not the answer. Our problems with this format are small potatoes with what lies ahead in the outside world.
