seriously
- Thread starter UP#1
- Start date
So what you are saying DT is you don't like that i post or read the hoops board or was that just a general statement? Cause you and I have never had any issues have we?
UP#1
Okay thanks I'm with you agree topic view not a favorite and agree we have that option we will adapt I'm sure
This thread is easy to follow. I think you guys will adjust.
As for the old way, I have no idea why you all enjoyed clicking on every reply to read them. Sounds awful to me.
You did not have to click on every reply. You had the option to see the whole thread by clicking "show all". Or you could view selected posts by clicking that particular post. I can't see why people don't think that option was the best.
At this point we will just have to agree to disagree about which way was better.
As I said on the premium football board, I suggest you try to get used to this new board. It isn't changing back. I'm sure posters will be more than happy to help you with questions.
Isn't clicking "show all" basically reading it in topic view?
Anyway, CP seriously needs to make one big thread where people can complain about the new format.
One big thread to complain is a great idea as long as us complainers can use thread view somehow.
For the life of me, I can't understand the drawbacks of this system..
I respect the opinions of you guys who don't like it, but to me it is just way more intuitive.
You don't have to click 1000 times. Every reply isn't titled "reply", you don't have confusion from some ppl using topic and others using thread, you don't have confusion from some people responding to the wrong reply, and lastly, you don't miss anything.
You can quote a reply or you can start a post by mentioning someone's name.
I've been on this board since maybe 2000 and the only time I've ever had problems following a thread is when people erroneously reply to the wrong post.
Anyway, if you need any help or advice I'm sure plenty will be willing to help.
Like I said, I'm sure we'll adjust. If the biggest issue in my life is adjusting to thread or topic view, I gotta figure I'm doing OK!
I'm an older poster ..... used thread view ...... and I'm having no problem adjusting to topic view ...... I may have questions about some options but I'll figure it out or ask someone...... in the long run, I think it will be easier to follow the threads if we all use the same method of view.

I get some complaints. I do think the color scheme is rather jarring, and that's the #1 issue I'd list. But in terms of functionality; it's really intuitive and more in line with 99% of forums nowadays.
I loved thread view. Especially in very large threads. I could see the ebb and flow of sub conversations and only go to those parts of the thread. In this view I don't see a way to do that. I have to scroll through the entire thread.
Plus the white background hurts my eyes. I don't see a way to change it. Someone mentioned having avatars as a plus. Really? LOL.

Every other message board I've ever used was in topic view. The Lair has been the exception, and despite using the hybrid view I was never a fan. What I don't like now is the circular avatar. It's cutting off my awesome Levance pic!

Its going to slow the board down a lot.
TOS is a little better with football discussion, this site has always had much better basketball posters and discussion and as noted, there is a real strain of morons posting on the TOS basketball board right now making it barely tolerable.
But, I have mostly stuck TOS because the design makes it easier to follow discussion even before this update.
The thread view made it easier to follow things here to an extent.
This format is too expansive in layout and then in going into the actual threads.
It REALLY limits the ability to have conversations within topics.
Ski....just view his post, then hit the reply button. Type in your response & post. I was a thread guy, like this approach better. When I return to a thread, I'm moved to any post I haven't read. Saves time, I think.
