Dave I think from posts I've seen here is that some FM's have looked at the Support Forums and it doesn't have the same appearance as this one.
Last poster isn't visible so FM's don't know whether they've received a reply or not,also whoever posted last on a thread doesn't push the thread to the top.

I've faith in you all as there's a few weeks to go yet to iron out any gremlins etc. I'm sure it will all be fine

No Need to look at usernames or post dates or to do scary math or poke voodoo dolls, Just look to see of the topic is in bold or not. If it is bold, there are new posts.

The thread doesn't go to the top when you post? Thats a bit rubbish then. Very 1990's.

Being harsh I would say that if after trying the new forum ( or not )then there is always a choice to be made as none of us pay to use it or runs it . Saying that I would love it everybody here at least gives it a try & there will always be someone over there to help

If a thread has new content it's title goes to bold text. So you do know if someone has posted after you.
Ok, there is no name of last poster..... but is that all that useful here anyway? Sometimes I may wait for a reply from one poster, but by the time I check three others have posted. So the last poster info is of no use.

I do use it to take me to the end of the thread though..... in that respect it is very useful.

Nice one Dave.. The only thing i don't like is having to " highlight " the text if you want to quote someone. Surely a button would be easier??? Bribe.

The gosh honest truth is that I cannot give a real or fair answer to the quote button. I really strongly disliked the quote button when it was invented 7 or 8 years ago and still don't like it in the form that eve still uses. It drives me crazy to see posts like mine here, which is 3 or more posts quoted when I really only needed to quote one sentence. The new method is a good compromise in my mind. And I really hate the multiquoted hourglass look, which we should no longer see.

So.... honestly, asking me about quote isn't going to give you a fair answer.

I think the quote upon quote fuction is actually quite insulting..... I'm more than capable of following a conversation without reminding myself of what was said every five seconds.

On other Forums I'm on we don't have a quote button so we just copy and paste the part of a message we wish to address, very simple.
