Message board format
Is it just me or is our new message board tough to read?

Unless I'm missing something, it seems waaaaaaaaaaaay too many people are quoting 4 to 5 previous messages BEFORE we get to their new thought on whatever subject they are posting about. It doesn't seem that the format allows you to quote JUST a prior posters' message w/o quoting whatever they may have quoted in their post. It's really annoying to have to scroll through all the old stuff just to get to the new post. Is there a way to fix this? Seems like it would be a win-win as less space is taken up

Definitely a feature of the old board that I wish we had here. Could be worse though- we could have UVAs' unreadable format.

I think once you quote the comments, you can then delete the prior quotes.

True, but I think that extra process is what keeps most ( including myself ) from doing it, especially when we're used to simply quoting one person. Just a tremendous waste of space.

This option is still there in the form of a green arrow next to the post title. Hover over it and it displays "Go to first unread post". Hope this helps.

I don't like the date and time of someone's post being at the bottom. I liked it at the top of a post like the zone had, but willing to live with it.
