All I can do is point to OS X Technologies forum/discussion/community or whatever these are called, but can't direct anyone straight to the Unix or AppleScript category. This needs fixing or some direction on how to do this.

Hi baltwo- this is like the blind leading the blind. You have to click on the category box:

and you end up with this:

https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_technologies?view=all#/? tagSet=1048

Where did get that 1048 from, whatever I click on or hover over, the only URL I see is the one ending in 'technologies'?

hidden picture reference. <-- this is a hot link

Of coarse I am experimenting with the interface trying to get a command of the features and functionality. Not trying to make you work for it !

I still want the pretty blue background?

and

My list of "product" type:

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6)  2.4GHz IntelCore i5 320 HD 8GB RAM

On we go !

Dig a bit deeper.

I have clicked on that refine box and I have clicked on that UNIX section tag/link but where in that screenshot do you see the number 1048?

I'm off doing other stuff, so can't delve deeper, but thanks for replying. Very straightforward and intuitive, isn't it.

Your link above is already the filtered link.

Click the hidden picture reference above for a peek.

And look you have a blue background and your Products listed !!! I am envious.

Move over to the Content or Discussions tab.

Thanks, so it seems that whenever you want to restore sanity, you simply have to do one more click on the Discussions button (same issue when being in 'Your Stuff', you see more of your posts if you click on Discussions). It feels like the new UI almost everywhere added at least one more, at the moment completely superfluous, layer.

Hi baltwo,

The blue background is because you are the original poster in the topic. (now where do I pick up my prize?)

John Maisey- Your check is in the mail.

And thanks I was going nuts trying to decipher that one.

I too like the alternating color scheme of the old- much easier to breeze through with the visual reference.

At least you can see my OS and machine spec's below. Yipee- thanks baltwo!

Thanks baltwo.

IMO, the balloons are just eye candy and there are some far better features here than there were before. (The linking to sub-categories this thread is about not being one of them.)

leroydouglas,

Thanks for pointing out how to link to the category searches.

Best wishes
