Q: Could This (new discussion format) Be Any Worse?

I've been participating in the Apple support forums for a good many years. They have been very useful and I've supplied a number of useful support answers. But now it's pretty much all gone. It's very difficult to find specific things and it's now impossible to see, at a glance, how many people have both viewed and replied to individual threads. That's critical for identifying big issues--especially those that accompany a signficiant operating system upgrade. Further, the text is so large that much less information can be displayed on a computer display. Finally, when you go to Apple Support your display is completely taken up by big square blocks--can you say "Windows R/T?" I guess all good things come to an end.

 

The best that Apple Discussions ever was was two changes ago. The previous iteration was tolerable even though it was confusing for newbies.

    Thanks again for that. I've added in links to the user tip area for each community that has one, together with the counts. The review also helped me spot a couple of errors with links to non-nested areas.

    Hey, we all owe you many thanks for putting in all the work to make that guide.

    Hiroto's Cascading Style Sheet changed the format of the content list.  Notice the

     

    -- Categories and Actions have been moved to the right

    -- Name of the person who started the discussion appears under the time

    -- Spacing has been compressed.

     

    For a complete list of things Hiroto does, look in the comments of the css file.

    I'm not sure if your post wasn't  actually meant for me. If it was thank you clarifying Hiroto's changes.
