it is a waste of space

Quote From: lemondrop

Just wondering aloud............are folks who normally post  on this board  having the same trouble activating their account as I did?    Therefore, we are not seeing them at all. 

  

  

Or..............is the new format keeping them from posting as they once did..............it surely is not as user friendly as the old  format.............I wonder if that could be part of the reason why the format has changed............to cut down on the chit chat that used to occur  between regular posters .........most generally there was always an exchange of sort ........most of the time..........also notice other boards such as Current Events and a few others where the normal activity does not exist. 

  

  

With this format posting the entire message you are responding to.......seems a waste of space ........possibly a small portion from the original message could be posted instead. 

  

  

Just thinking out loud. 

  

  

I can see that the new terms of use  and this new format go hand in hand. 

  

  

I do realize there are other reasons for the new format........some of which obviously are addressed in the new terms of  usage and  new privacy policy...........I trust Dr. Phil......his staff and their choices. 

  

  

Thank you. 

it is a waste of space. i guess its so we know what message we are responding to. its wierd but i'm assumiing others boards are fine as if everyone was having trouble i'm sure they would change it.

Thank you. 

I'm not sure about the old posters.  I had no trouble logging back in. 

  

There are parts about the new format I don't love, but I DO like the fact that it sorts posts in reverse date order.  That works great for me.  Personally I'd like the posts to list in outline form.  Original on top and all the replies outlined beneath and to the right.   

  

Don't too much like the whole post in a reply.  There is a philboard moderator message board now -- so if you have questions or problems you can post to them directly.
