New Board Format

[Hoakie82]

i agree. These are the same people who probably fought hard before getting the internet, held off trading in their check books for debit/credit cards, still prefer paper maps over gps, prefer to record tv using vcr, etc. The site improvements will attract a much more younger, internet savy crowd who ultimately will be customers of techsideline much longer anyway.

Out with the old, in with the new. Attaboy! The dead just stink up the place. The world's a tough place. Right?

Yeh I don't get that. Considering you can make the board look almost like it did --if that's what you really like -- what really is the difference? And having more active (better and more interesting) topics near the top is UNQUESTIONABLY an improvement. Thanks Will!!!!

I like threaded so much better than linear. Linear I cannot tell who is talking to who when someone replies unless they quote the parent.

what i dont like is all the bitching and moaning about the new format - i'm 64 and if i can get used to it and use it everyone should be able to

Hopefully that gets fixed over time as people start to understand that they need to quote the parent. Also, maybe Will can have the "Reply" button removed and only have the "Reply With Quote". That forces you to quote the parent.

Not that it matters, i am very happy that we switched to this format, as it is much more common and what I have been used to on other sites.

I really hated the old TSL scheme...popular subjects would just die off, and really, never clicked on the second page...

Lead by example, then. Who did YOU respond to??

That was the point of my message

It was a 24-7 aimless conversation.....it had no real "format"....

So you did NOT like the old format. I'm OK with that, I just have different preferences. I understand the need for change and am using this opportunity to change up the way I use my free time.

Yeah, because if there's one thing that younger, internet savvy people are known for, it's paying for internet content.
