As you know, we recently stopped listing stock board posts chronologically, and went to a thread-based system. We feel that stock investors do not need to clearly see the latest posts in chronological order, during the trading day, and our Ph.D. geniuses from Stanford think you would prefer to dig through threads to find old posts on your stocks. This is the huge problem with the new yahoo message boards and it is a showstopper, in my opinion. I think they will have to address it. New user interfaces are always tough on acceptance. But you can't remove key elements of a successful design like yahoo did. They had a thread based option on the old boards, AND chronological. My guess is less than 1% used thread based, for good reason.
