What where they thinking when this forum format was changed. Very hard to navigate and next to impossible to find answers to my posts. I guess I'll never churn these waters again.
Thanks Meg for the input. I first started out hating this new format and I'm still not in love with it, but one feature I do like is the quick email reply. Now I have to turn off this feature because of repeated emails.
Posts to the Apple Discussion Boards no longer display the system profile. Is Apple actively trying to make problems more difficult to resolve or did someone with **** for brains get promoted and make a stupid decision? Again.

Yes, tons of content is missing, helping others has ground to a halt, lots and lots of VERY USEFUL content has been gutted and eliminated.
intuitive flow has been removed.
Without question your position is strongly felt by others who have spent many endless countless 10s of 1000s of hours here.
It isnt a 'redesign', in fact it a synergistic removal of productivity, flow, intuition, and logical constructive coherency. 😉😉

Methinx this saying was in wide use back then, then... "The LORD giveth, and the LORD taketh away." - Job 1:21
I'm beginning to feel a bit like Job... Funny how all the old mythologies just love to torment the heroes...

My favorite version is "The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away."

seems a mission critical bit of info, dudn't it? Maybe A P P L E is trying to encourage time wasting, pointless participation. When will the marketing pop-ups start, I wonder?
I thought maybe display of sysProfile was one of those obsure UserPrefs... but whaddya know, it doesn't even exist in one's OWN view of one's BIO !!!
Folly. See my long response to P.......V....... above re: J I V E user/commMgr support linx. I would say that the answer is crystal clear.

SSpeaking of points, how does one get or give them now? What are they actually useful for?
and see the first word in this post. It always gives me double letters when the spellcheck kicks in. Only in these new discussions. I type a word, it starts the check and corrects it, and leaves the first letter doubled.
After you ask a new question and a person responds at the bottom of their response is the option to award points. As for the usefulness of points I always thought their greatest value was in giving your answer increased credibility.
The double caps is a bug that has been discussed and reported to the moderators a number of times and hopefully they are working on it.
IF you want to know more about points, status in the community and all of the goodies that you get when you achieve certain levels, you can read all about it here.
SSo only the OP can award that. Seems the same as the previous ASC versions.
Sso what's the point of the like? 😕
Just a guess, people may have seen an answer and found it useful but were too shy to say so.

It is the same as the previous Jive software versions of the ASC.
So what is the point of the likes??? That is a question that many of us would love to know the answer to. IMHO, It's just Apple's way of succumbing the the whole social networking doo-doo that so many people are into these days. I suppose that there is some reward in knowing that your answer was "liked" by people, but to me it's just the social networking way of saying "I found this advice/post/information to be useful". That's all it really boils down to, again, IMHO.
The number of points a person has earned gives us some idea about their expertise. I am more inclined to listen to the advice of someone with a large number of earned points than someone with no earned points. The points are supposed to be given with regard to the effectiveness of the advice. It doesn't always work that way though as we often see people who don't understand the system award point to themselves. But by and large, when you see someone who has a large number of points, it is fairly safe to assume that their advice is worthwhile.
The forum has lost its usefulness...
