New Layout - I'm completely lost!

[sllowe]

I'm sorry folks, I'm sorry Medhelp. But, it's hard to look at our community as a "community."
The new layout appears to isolate the individual discussions.  It's hard to get a feel for "what's being talked about in general."

Edit feature would be awesome! Some of us have some cognitive issues and it would be nice to fix our issues after posting.

Hi there -

Just got an update from Engineering and Development.  We have no timelines yet for these changes, as the work is just starting, but keep in mind some are very complicated.

Our highest priority changes are:

*  There will be a preview of each thread, with a couple of lines showing in the main thread listing.  (We have already shared this one.)

*  More responses will show in the thread list, so instead of showing the most recent 2, it will show more.

*  We will be increasing the number of threads per page in the thread list.

This is not likely the total list of changes, but this is what we know for sure now.

Hi there -

LOL oh yes, I can tell.  :)

We have reported that to the engineers and developers, and it's probably one of the most requested changes we've heard, from across the site.  I haven't heard anything about it yet, but promise to keep you all updated.

In conjunction with adding the first few lines of each thread, it would be great if we could see more than 2 of the names of members who have responded (like we did before the recent change) --

I know many of us look specifically for a certain member's name (like Quix, Lulu, Cobob, etc) because of their track record of expertise, or because of an ongoing discussion within the thread.

Is that possible?

Can you tell how much we really, really miss the old layout?

Jen - there hasn't been any changes to the drop down menus we have at the top.  Let me know if it remains to be a problem.
