BryanB, I am VERY disappointed! Where is the search box on the personal profiles? And where is my Clubhouse?
Granted, I don't have the right to complain, because I was unable to participate in the "guardians' review," although I promised to.
But the fact is that I was not the only person to insist, from the outset, that what was of primary concern was function, not format. I didn't really give a hang whether the "new SI" had borders around the messages or not; what really bothered me was the fact that important functions -- the search function, primarily -- were not only not "improved," but dropped.
1) You have restored the "search this thread only" button. But I have to say it does not always work. Could be a minor bug. What happened several times, as I was experimenting with it, was that after entering a word/phrase and then selecting the "this thread only" option, I would nevertheless get references from other threads as well.
2) You have not restored the box that used to follow the personal profile (before the messages). To refresh your memory: it had written across the top: Discussion/People/MetaCrawler. And the buttons, lined up on the right, read: Personal Profiles/Aliases Only/Posts by this Person (new).
Interesting, that you should drop a new feature!! The advantage of it was that you could go to say, Joe Blow's profile, knowing that Joe was an Intel expert, enter the word "Intel", hit "posts by this person," and then get all of Joe's recent posts on Intel, at one fell swoop.
Maybe I'm wrong; maybe you have just put that little box somewhere else. I hope so. Otherwise I will have to conclude that somebody over in your office just does not get the point!
3) Now, Bryan, you remember you promised you would save my "Grammar and Spelling Lab" Clubhouse! So where is it?
Sorry to sound cross. But I am. I spent a lot of time talking about the importance of these features, which are content- not cosmetic-related. Please don't tell me it was all for naught.
Joan
