These new changes sure don't mix well with pain medicine....<g> so I am going to have to work slowly through these. But... here are a couple of concerns.... 1. Not being able to change from thread to chron. order. It was so handy to go to chron. order with the newest being first and check/edit recent postings. 2. No ability to go to next message (or have I missed something there). Again, with the messages in chron. order I could open the first one - check it - edit if necessary - and then click and go to the next one. Much more efficient then this new set up where I have to click back several times to get back to the original list of messages. 3. No change in color when a message has been read. 4. Unable to see posters history. I used this a lot as a user rather than an admin. I could check and see if they were posting in the same areas of the country where my interest was. 5. Clicking on the poster's name now takes you to that profile form. All the ones I have checked so far are blank and I wonder if they won't stay that way. Sorry folks but I really don't think my "age group", "education", "employment status", "occupation", or "religion" are necessary for me to participate in a genealogy community and quite frankly aren't anyone else's business. Ok..... Emma..... heading for more medicine and maybe even a smoke.
