Forum: Bug Report and Feature Requests

Probablly a faster way to get the problem fixed.

If I thought it was a bug, I would do that. But I think it's a design flaw and posting it here allows others to comment on it. Two already agreed with me that the change is a problem. That must have weight when Lazeez considers what I said.

I reread my OP and think it needs expansion.

Since the change, when I reply to a post it is displayed immediately. But when I go to the list of threads, that thread shows up as having an unread post. When I click on it, it takes me to the post I just made.

The problem is, if others posted to the thread while I was typing mine, when the system jumps to my "unread" post it skips over those. And to make it worse, those posts are grayed out as if they were read. But they weren't read by me (unless I scroll up before posting my post).

Thank you.

I reverted to the old behavior where you need to click a refresh link to view your post.

Thanks.

Thank you!

How about a hybrid approach: show the response if there had not been any intervening post on the thread?

It's not just intervening posts. If there are, say, four unread posts and you reply to the first unread one, you're suggesting it expands your response right away. The problem is there are 3 unread posts after the one you replied to. Now when you go back to the list of threads and click on the one you just replied to, the system takes you to your reply, what it considers an "unread" post. But the three real unread posts are grayed out as if you read them.

The way it is now, after you reply to the first unread post you can read the other unread ones. And reply to any of those and keep reading until you read them all. Then when you go back to the list of threads and click on the one with your reply(ies), the system will take you to your first reply (and any new ones that were created).

If you like it expanded right away, simply click on the "refresh."
