I think I need help. I'm not having any problems on the admin side. . .but I'm totally confused when it comes to using the revised Boards. I've been a Board & List user & admin since the beginning, so I'm no newbie. . .but I hope I am being stupid and you all will be able to help me. . .because, at this point, I notice some things that seem odd or peculiar to me. Here are some examples (#3 being the most troubling to me): (1) When I go to a Board, the subjects are curtailed. . .so you can't read all the words in the subject. Without clicking on the post, how cannot see the full subject? Or does this depend upon one's browser? (2) How do I sort (oldest/newest) in threaded view? I can only find that setting for the flat view. On the Boards I checked, in the threaded view the dates are a hodgepodge. . .and this seems to be exacerbated when the subject of the thread is altered. By that I mean the wording of the subject changed within the thread. . . perhaps to better reflect the way the thread was drifting. . .ok, they probably should have started a new thread, but they apparently didn't, and it's too late now. Or again, could this be a browser thing? (3) The following is difficult to describe. Feel free to query me if what I'm writing is not clear. When I go to a Board, the "newest" post in a thread appears to be visible. Well, not really. I've discovered that if someone has changed the wording of the subject within a thread it totally screws everything up. Thus, there may be a "newer" (more recent, more current) post in the thread but if the subject wording changed from the original, then it's hidden (buried) within the original thread. Thus, if perhaps you had read through a thread a month or two ago and then you visit the Board again. .. since the date of the "newest" post in the thread hasn't changed, you would assume that no one had posted a follow-up. It's not going to occur to folks to go back and (a) expand the thread again and search for a possible "hidden update" or (b) change to the flat view and click on "newest to oldest." In general, apparently new posts within an old thread will be missed. In one example, if you visit the Board, it appears that the newest post in a thread was made in Oct 2001. It states "Last post - 5 Oct 2001." But that's not true. There are follow-up posts in the thread from 2002 & 2003. However, along the line, the subject name in the thread was altered. Today I posted a follow-up to one of the posts in the thread with an altered subject. Theoretically, I'd assume that my brand-new follow-up would be visible when you go to the Board. . .since it's the newest post in the thread (indeed the newest post at the Board). Nope! No one would have a clue it's there. It's buried within the thread. It still states: "Last post - 5 Oct 2001." The only way you can find this brand-new reply is to click on the false "newest" (Oct 2001) with the original subject and do what I've described above as (a) or (b). Then you'll see the posts from 2002 and 2003, and also mine posted there in December 2006. This seems goofy. Or I'm goofy. (4) Occasionally when I read someone's post to a Board, I might decide to send them an e-mail. It was always easy to click on their name, view their e-mail address, and send them a quick e-mail. With the Board changes, it appears that if the poster does not have a "profile" I can see their e-mail address, but if they have a "profile," then I can't figure a way to see their e-mail address. How do I do that? Margaret in IL
