Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

What's wrong with the new forum design.

Thought I'd kick off the list here.


1. O.P. can award a correct answer to themselves.


2. Status stays hidden unless checked, making it hard on both newbies and those trying to help them


3. No advanced search (that I can find) I've given up even trying to look, and users aren't even aware of it


4. Difficult to see what you have or haven't replied to


5. Can't see very far back in the threads


6. Huge waste of space on useless quote bubbles


7. Trying to edit your own settings takes you round in circles


8. Where is the forum how-to and guide?


9. Absurd to ask users to search without a suggested list to work from, the Pages iPad users are constantly landing in the wrong forum


10. I hate the default of sending email advisories and Safari messages of answers in the forum. My Mail Inbox is inundated and I am getting constant pop-ups interrupting my work on my Mac.


…many more but I'd like to let others add to the list


BTW I give 2 thumbs up to the improved post formatting options, but that was a long overdue catch up to other forums.

Aluminium iMac 24, Mac OS X (10.6.7), The closest you'll ever get to there, is here.

compleatly agree, I cant even work out how to be a 'newbee'

The question I find myself asking is ...... I ended up feeling like an iddiot when in need a year ago and have only just returned but I still canot understand how this comunity can be joined even though I sign in and out ! (although I can see that it does work for many).

The only thing I have managed to do is ask questions that canot it seems be answered however I can hit the reply button on the very excelent observations of this Peter chap.
