"Our intention is to go with a 3 column format on read messages because this is standard message board format across the net"
Sounded like NONSENSE to me too.
Even if it were true, I never was a fan of playing follow others off the cliff into OBLIVIAN!!!!!
And I totally agree with this!!!
"That sends a very powerful message, and the message is that management has utter contempt for users. There hasn't been a single favorable comment. But, I'm sorry to say, the admins are pretty much ignoring the sentiments expressed. So far one small concession has been made; adding the name of the poster to the message box"
"indicates a lack of understanding of the real problem, which is that the message board is now a very insignificant part of the page."
and I agree with this:
"I don't know if it's an option that we have a "classic" version or not. If not, then what?"
I looked twice, high and low, there is NO classic view return to option!!!! NONE!!!
"If not, a great many users will employ AdBlock. Others will become fed up and leave. This could turn out to be a terrific opportunity for competing sites."
Good idea!!!
"One you're handing to them on a silver platter. "
I suggest all IHUB posters go on stirke, and stop posting for one day!!!! A single day of no posts on IHUB will send a low ad revenue pocket book message to the IHUB home office!!!! The message being give us back the old view!!!!
"I am mad as hell, and I am not going to take it anymore"!
Ambition with out knowledge is like ship in dry dock. Going nowhere fast!
