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

I wouldn't get too upset. Monday or Tuesday we'll wake up and realize it's all been just a bad dream.

You may find Firefox the better browser.   Logging in and out is one click, unless you park a spare screen in the dock.   In which case you often stay logged in.

Moreover, the Safari menu > Zoom out exercise is also unnecessary.   My Firefox Communities screen fits my 20" Mac as well as it ever did.

7 1,

I am an avid FF fan and use it exclusively. There very infrequent occasions when sitePage display or Jscript anomalies occur in FF but not Safari. Go figger.

RE: Zoom... I find I must zoom out at least one level on my Pismo 4:3 screen (leaves only slight bottom scrollBar - 2 zooms eliminates bottom scrollBar but is starting to get smaller than my poor old eyes can deal with) My external 16:9 is just fine as default Zoom (could almost stand a zoom IN - but that is just the white space = 90 pixels left/right & 40 pixels 'between post bounding boxes')

Best for last = Logging (whatever)... Your experience is not mine. Closing FF (or Safari) logs me out. Leaving a Tab with ASC content open times out when browsing elsewhere or idle. I have yet to try Docking a window,  as it Tab open fails why would a window be any different (but I will try it anyway)

RE: one click login,  not really sure what you mean, but I have a BrowserBookmark of Login page in front of an authored post of mine that is hot(to me anyway) in Quicktime. not quite one click but close. I must use my fading memory and judgement as to what my ActionPlan will be when visiting here.

The beat goes on...

Same for me: says I'm not authorised to see the page.

The thread didn't branch. Branched to a new discussion now takes you to all the deleted posts you aren't allowed to see.

So do you think we'll find that the format has been reverted, or otherwise drastically improved?

I have been using the Chitlins in Wonderland metaphor... curioser and curioser. Was Alice dreaming? Or did she really follow the White Rabbit down the bunny hole?

bob... et al,

I was told that the deleted posts are only observable by Hosts. Higher levels (forget what #) have a "MVP Lounge" too.

I already told you, thats where the 'gods' view things.

Of course you ARE NOT authorized.

Unfortunately I don't have the gift of Future Vision so so I can't say what will happen monday and don't want to mislead anybody. Even if it doesn't change i'm not going to let it get me upset. I'll help the people i can help and take satisfaction in knowing I helped.

As I said earlier, Jive is the provider and designer... Their site is WORSE than this!!

Of course not, but if that's where the gods (or devils) view things then it's fubar that it's labelled "Branched to a new discussion".

I find the name "Jive" to be so appropriate.

jive (plural jives)

1. A dance style popular in the 1940–50s.
2. Swing, a style of jazz music.
3. A slang associated with jazz musicians; hepcat patois or hipster jargon.
4. (US, colloquial)Nonsense; transparently deceptive talk.

   Don’t give me that jive. I know where you were last night.

wikisaurus - Jive = b***s***

Not my words...John, of course, I defer

I'm afraid that's your dream, right there.

It's called wishful thinking. I haven't seen everybody's griping accomplish anything.
