We have been asked about recent changes to the forum.

With the new format the original message remains stuck to the top of the page.

Beneath the original message is a drop down menu to select whether you read replies from newest to oldest or oldest to newest. The choice is yours.

Sorry but the/your web service has ruined a great site. I particularly don't like the fact that only parts of a page can be accessed and not the entire page, heaven only knows who came up with that idea. Unfortunately i think my time for contributing and sharing has come to end while this new format is in place.

I'm not sure what you mean. I can't see any difference to page length. I can see why we might prefer the old format but can't see a huge difference. The original post is pinned and you can chose whether replies appear newest to oldest or vice versa. I can't see any other big changes.

I do remember when this forum started we did have comments that it was necessary to trail through the thread to get to the most recent post and it would be better to have them in reverse as some forums do.

Now you don't need to trail through, but have the choice of reversing if you wish.
