I find the new board harder to read than the old one. If the topic is popular with a lot of posts, you have to go back and click “more replies below…” and search for different threads within the thread. When I reply, I don’t know which “reply” button to click on, sometimes starting a new thread within the thread.
Any tips?
Greg, look up and to the right side of the screen. There should be a button marked “Display Modes”. Click on this and it gives you a couple options. I prefer the linear mode, which shows posts in the order they were put in, no sub-threads. As in the old days, it only puts a certain # of posts on each page, tho. There may be a way to change that as well, but I haven’t figured it out.
If you are logged in and select a mode, it should use that mode as long as you are logged in.
Hope this helps.
DG,
Go to Quick links in the brown bar where User CP is an click “Edit Options”. Then go down the page to Thread display options, and you will see " number of posts to show per page". You can then change it up to 40 posts per page.
Thanks, guys. That took care of it!

Greg, most discussion boards today are in this set up. Once you get used to it you won’t want anything else.
