It is a terrible hindrance to click on every single reply to read what they say after each forum article. Please fix this problem buy reverting to the old system where you can read each reply and thread without having to click on it.
Please oh please oh please....
I am sure I am not the only one who is not liking the new way...
It hurts Dr. Paul's campaign when you can't read every reply and thread...
Thanks a million.

11/30/07 ?
I understand the post, but I don't understand the date - if that is what it is.
Look at the comment below yours...
I remember this old post... But the person that commented before has bumped several old random threads... BUT, I don't see a spam link as woudl be expected so not sure what the deal with that is.

I noticed that earlier too wolfe
I've already blocked 8 or 9 spam bots this morning and I had looked at that acct also with no certain verdict yet, but I see someone else snagged it already.
bonjorno!
With eadanz! Merry Christmas!
understand viewing options...still a problem
Even just trying to read the comments thread list is still difficult because of the color of the text, the fact that text colors are interspersed and that the text appears very cluttered.
I don't mean to complain but I couldn't even look at it without getting eye strain.

options
options wont change the format without logging in(bad for new visitors)also very time consuming. if possible how about offering the threaded options to members only. otherwise i love your site! *I do not fear death, I fear life without liberty.*
I do not fear death, I fear life without liberty.
Oh, I see now - VERY GOOD!!
So it is a "Feature" and NOT a "bug"

The new display options are
The new display options are very helpful. I was a bit thrown off at first, but it's great now. I've been reading posts backwards since I've been coming here. Now it works!

Thank you
The new format was driving me crazy. :) But your help got me back driving sane.
Thanks again
Yeah, people...
...take five seconds to actually LOOK at it, open the dropdown menus, and use a couple of those neurons, and you'll realize that now you have flexibility and can change stuff around. You can view it the old way, or a new way. You can have vastly larger numbers of posts per page. Just chill, alright?
New Format Much Better
Flat list - expanded Date - oldest first
Makes it much easier to follow discussions. You see the messages in the order they were posted so the thread makes more sense chronologically. Also, you can always find the latest comments at the end of the list (just as you would intuitively expect), so no more scrolling up and down looking for the "new" icon.
Threaded list - expanded is good for following your own discussions with other individual posters.
AGREED!
If it aint broke, DONT FIX IT. thats what i was told anyway, and it hasnt let me down yet.....
it doesnt seem like replies are posting correctly....mine have been posting as if a response to the forum topic rather than the person Im trying to reply to....

Given your moniker...
Given your moniker of "haightashbury1969" I'm not surprised that you haven't been "let down" yet! ;-)
I was too young and didn't move there from Jersey until 74...by then the "fun" was over. Music scene was dead...still have my Lyle Tuttle Tattoo though!

Hmmmm...and where does one find this Menu?
I am lost!

help on the way
Just scroll down to the bottom of the comments and look for the words COMMENT VIEWING OPTIONS
then look for the little drop down box--yours is probably reading
FLAT LIST -COLLAPSED
change it to FLAT LIST-EXPANDED
Bottom of the Page
Find "Comment viewing options" at the bottom of each page. Use the drop down menus to select your preferred format.
Note that the "Post new comment" form is now at the bottom of each page. Used to be a link to post a new comment, now just scroll to the bottom and post. When replying to a specific message continue to use the reply link beneath that message.
It's right at the bottom.
It's right at the bottom. There are several new options. It confused me at first too, until I found those. Just set it up the way you want and hit "save."

At the bottom of what? Where?
I feel like a numbskull here....I have a blue box with Nystrom's message beginning with "Please take time..."

couldn't agree more
The new format is incredibly tedious, and limits my interaction tremendously.
The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt
Go to comment viewing options
AND CLICK FLAT LIST EXPANDED AND ALL WILL BE FINE
Go down to the bottom of the post and set
the comment display options to -expanded.
I agree
This isn't fun anymore. Maybe it's this way for a reason, but it's cumbersome.
oh duh
duh, thanks
I agree,
I don't like this new format at all
Select the Menu Item - "Threaded List - Expanded"
Then it looks like the old way. :)
