New format, dislike.....

When I post an entry to a thread, it does not follow in chronological order. It seems to be placed randomly into the thread.

Well, this post is where is should be. Maybe it happens when adding to existing threads from the old forum.

Under MY DISCUSSIONS, only MY last answer is diplayed in a thread. Why isn't that thread showing that others have added comments after mine?
Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks, Al.
 I can now find it in Discussion Forum/"View My Activity," or "My Threads"/"7" or "14" or "30" days. That displays up to date threads that I have participated in.

I have also just found that by hitting my ICON (in my case "L"), it displays my responses (not updated), and to the far right shows the last word, which is Almarg.
It's a quick way to see if anybody has added to your comments.

I rather like this new format, and it will get better; it is still in Beta version.

I miss the "Old Threads" section that was located below Virtual Systems. It was sorted and updated by new activity.
Does anybody miss this section? It was better than looking thru each separate forum for an interesting old thread. Also, threads that just left the 48 hour list would be located in this section.

If our friends at Audiogon are tuning in, to be clear, right now in
Recent Activity, there is:
"New Discussions in the past 48 hours"
followed by:
"Forum contributions in the past 48 hours"

This is redundant. The same threads will appear in both, if active within 48 hours.
Under the previous format, "Old Threads," were threads which were no longer in Recent Activity. A good name for this section would be "Forum contributions to Old Threads."
Some of these threads could be years old and if somebody added a comment, the thread was updated and moved into this section.

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.

FYI, Justin, et al, some of these old threads would stay active for years. We now have a great new "Follow this Thread" feature, but I would like to have the "Old Threads" reinstalled, and then use "Follow this Thread."

Does this make sense?

Al, you are correct in that "Forum Contributions in the Past 12/24/48 Hours," old threads having recent posts ARE being included.
It's just that many of those threads included active threads.

As I look at the forum today it seems to be working properly. Perhaps, your comments from earlier in this thread alerted Audiogon to make this update.

 Anyway, I don't know who to thank for this fix, but well done.

Well, call me a complainer, but there are still duplicate threads in
"New Discussions in the past 48 hours" and "Forum contributions in the past 48 hours." It takes up real estate which can be used for older threads.

IMO, "Forum contributions in the past 48 hours" is a poor concept. There should be a section for threads that are OLDER than 48 hours as there was in the old format. Yes, this section contains older threads, but it also gets filled with current threads (as I write this at 3AM there are many).

It wouldn't be too difficult to look at the old format and copy that.
OK, I'm done.

how come one can't upload a picture, that should have been included with the "update"  a pictures worth 1000 Words, don't you know :-)

Peter, I would like that as well, if anybody out there is listening...
Audio Circle, Audio Asylum, among others can include pics within their posts.

(unless they don't have the storage capacity of maintaining hundreds, if not thousands of images. I belong to "Classical Music Forum" and every so often, the Admin. has to purge the system of  the jpg's).

they are somehow maintaining a lot of pictures in the Virtual Systems section. Maybe they could use the same mechanism.

Very true, I forgot about that.
As for posting to a sharing site, I've been on forums where they ask members to do that, and let's face it, posters are lazy or don't have the time, so the photo gets uploaded.
But, that is certainly an option.

Hey, if Audio Asylum can do it, Audiogon should be able to add this feature.
