This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

It appears that the current default view is now chronological, so I don't have to do anything special to get a chronological list of messages. What appears to be different is that the list of messages is threaded but in such a way that the most recently posted message provides the date/time that will be included in the list. So this is quite different from seeing a separate entry in the list for each message; with that prior arrangement, I found a threaded view to be particularly unhelpful because there was no guarantee that the most recent messages would be found on the first page of the list. With this combined threaded/chronological view found with the new board layout, the most recently posted messages will always be listed first, but now they'll bring along the thread that they are part of if one exists. But I must say that it took me quite some time to come to this realization...... -- Mary
