Anyone else think the format of the forum hear is hard to keep track of? |
|
Maybe just because it is new to me, but its hard to keep track us whats newly posted on a thread and what is not. I am used to the regular forum where each posted gets put right after the last one.

Its a right wing group. Not considered a nice bunch of people around here and also reputed to have a rather horrid layout for their site.

14. Not a site I wish to advertise |
|
There is enough info in this thread to figure it out though.

2. It's automatically threaded. If you click on "view all", you can see |
|
all the posts and it's easy to see who's replying to who. Once you get used to it, it's a lot better than a totally sequential listing (which seldom makes much sense)

a lot. But I REALLY wish there was a way to "mark" an individual thread as read, not the whole forum.

8. I also wish we could mark individual threads |
|
instead of the whole forum.

5. I actually like this format... |
|
...much better. It makes it a lot easier to follow along in conversations rather than jumping all over the place.

There is an issue common to most such forums in that controvercial topics tend to stay pinned to the top while succinct observations that most agree with disappear quickly. But that is what kicks are for. Unfortunately it is human nature to vocalise on negative matters more than on positive ones.

11. i think it's because you are new here, but i find DU very user friendly |
|
i think the more you post on here and the longer you use it the more used to it you will get. it can also start getting kind of addictive.
the DU system is a lot better since you know which post people are actually responding to. it might be confusing right now but i'm sure you will get used to it and find it useful .

16. I believe if you go to the lobby |
|
at the top you can edit your preferences and set Latest instead of Lobby as your default page. Then all the threads will show the most current post 1st.
Is that right, Mods?
