Hi Audiogon,
The old format had a "my discussion" that allowed me to
keep up and be aware of my recent/ongoing thread participation. This
appears to be gone now. I could easily follow multiple threads and
respond as necessary. I'd like to see this feature brought back. Charles, in the upper right-corner of any of the forum pages, just click on your screen-name (or the adjacent avatar, if you choose to create one -- it would replace the "C" you probably see there now, that being the first letter of your screen name), and you'll find that. Justin (Audiogon), I for one think it's a nice improvement, and I've had no problems with it so far. Best regards, -- Al |

I mean we lost our recent activity page. We need it back Agon team as it
was with a new look. Very, very important. Without it we are lost. I should add to my previous response to Charles that the "View My Activity" box on the new forum home page is where that belongs. I had made that suggestion during beta testing, but apparently it hasn't been implemented yet. Best regards, -- Al |
grannyring 11-30-2015 6:19pmCharles and Al, we are all on the same page, or rather want the same page:) Bill (Grannyring), Charles, JonD, check out the "View My Activity" box on the forum home page now!!! Justin @ Audiogon, thanks for the amazingly quick action! Best regards, -- Al |

Works fine for me, I’m getting used to it. An improvement in many respects. +1. And considering the magnitude of the changes that have been made, I find it remarkable that the transition went so smoothly in terms of functionality. An issue I’ve noticed, which I’d suggest Audiogon address in some manner, is that the segregation of Virtual Systems and the Forums has resulted in posts in virtual system threads to which one has previously posted not appearing in the "My Activity/My Threads" listings. And as far as I can tell there is no means of "following" a virtual system thread, which would provide notifications of posts others may make in that thread. (Although perhaps "favoriting" a virtual system would result in such notifications; that isn't clear to me at this point). Best regards, -- Al |
I'm noticing today (but not yesterday) that line breaks in many posts are occurring in the middle of words. I've seen that on multiple Windows 7 laptops and desktops, using both Firefox and Internet Explorer.
Best regards,

Looks like the line break issue has been fixed. Kudos to Justin & co. at Audiogon for addressing this issue so promptly, and kudos once again for having responded in similar fashion to the earlier "My Threads" issue.
Best regards,

Hi Lowrider,
Yes, I think I see what you are referring to, that being what is shown under "Your Responses" in your profile. That appears to be by design. But to see a listing of threads in which you have participated, which shows the screen name of the "last word" poster and the date of that post, at the forum home page click on "View My Activity," or under that on "My Threads"/"7" or "14" or "30" days.
Best regards,
-- Al

Also, I’ll mention an anomaly I’ve recently noticed, which is that the "recent activity" link on the forum home page appears to present an identical listing of "contributions in the past XX hours" regardless of whether XX is selected as 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours.
Best regards,
-- Al

I rather like this new format, and it will get better.... I agree. I suppose the disparity of opinion about it is consistent with the usual lack of consensus among audiophiles about most things :-) Best regards, -- Al |
Jim (Broadstone), if by "notices" you perchance have been anticipating e-mail notifications, my impression is that is not what Audiogon meant. Take a look at the bell-shaped icon just under your user name at the upper right corner of any of the forum pages. If you see a number within or adjacent to that symbol, that would be the number of notifications that have been issued to you. And if you click on that icon you will be able to see them.
Best regards,
-- Al

A suggestion to Justin & co. at Audiogon: Under "Recent Activity-12/24/48 hours" the "New Discussions in the Past XX hours" section is continually sorted based on the date and time of the most recent post. That makes it hard to determine which threads have been created since one's last visit. I suggest that consideration be given to sorting that listing based on the date and time of the initial post in each thread.
Sorting within the "Forum Contributions in the Past XX hours" section of that page should be left as is, however, with sorting based on the date and time of the most recent post.
Best regards,
-- Al

Hi Lowrider, My perception of the issues you are referring to has been somewhat different. If I'm not mistaken, under "Recent Activity/12/24/48 hours/Forum Contributions in the Past 12/24/48 Hours," old threads having recent posts ARE being included, BUT: 1)The three sets of listings for those three time periods are all identical. I had called attention to this earlier in this thread. 2)Usually those listings do not go back even 12 hours, the cutoff perhaps depending on how many posts have been made during that period. 3)As has been said, those listings differ from the "Old Threads" listings of the previous format in that newly created threads are also being included in them, as soon as a response is posted. In itself I see nothing wrong with that, but see no. 4 just below, which if addressed would make the redundancy you mentioned moot, as I see it. 4)As I mentioned earlier, the constant re-sorting of the "New Discussions in the Past xx Hours" part of that page makes it difficult to identify which threads have been created since one's last visit. As it stands now, we have to look thru each topic, Amp/Preamp, Digital,
Speakers, etc. to find an old thread and may never find it because
we're in the wrong topic. So I don't think this was the intent, and it is only true to the extent that the "Forum Contributions in the Past 12/24/48 Hours" listings do not truly go back 12/24/48 hours as it stands now. Best regards, --Al |
