OK, thanks for this post Joan. I thought of something else, btw and that is the ability to go back to posts #100-200, etc. on a particular thread, remember that? You click on the header and it lists the post#'s. I haven't figured out a way to do that, if anybody has, please reply.
I'm a little surprised somebody wanted the clubhouses. On the Dell thread last year (which I thought was the most active thread at the time), nobody used the clubhouse. I figured nobody used it anywhere if the chatty dell thread didn't want it. Sounds good as long as there is never, never a sanity thread clubhouse! No thank YOU! LOL
So that leaves these issues:
1) The "search this thread" function. That has been restored.
2) The "posts by this person" search function. That has NOT been restored.
3) The number of posts listed on the profile page reduced to 20, as against 100 on classic SI.
4) The disappearance of the Clubhouses.
5) Ability to access lists of prior posts by range.
Caroline also sent a good post, maybe we can group them and come up with a substantive list, I don't know.
BTW imo, it really isn't feasible to have an old and a new site, only because the old one takes on a life of its own in terms of supportability. Most R&D groups don't want to manage that, I know. In this case I am unsure what they will do with this uproar. |
