Is anyone else annoyed by the new format where quoting someone elses post puts it directly under that post? Message boards have always typically been linear and it’s easier to follow the conversation. I think that when you place the reply directly under the post it’s referring to rather than at the end of the thread makes conversations confusing - especially when you have discussions that reach upwards of 20 pages - you need to go back and re-read the entire thread over and over again just to make sure you didn’t miss something, rather than being able to keep track of it by simply knowing that all the new posts will appear right after the one you read last
I find it annoying, and it seems a lot of comments get lost in the woods this way. But I can live with it.
The only thing more annoying was when or is when people feel they have to quote every word of someones previous comment in their response. I don’t think that has anything to do with format though. I think it’s just a case of knuckle headed posters.
I’ll agree with that… no need to include the entire three paragraphs in the quote… just include what you’re responding to or the first few words followed by “…”
But yeah… not a fan of the new ordering format
