I am getting used to new ET board. ET should get credit for hard work and modern design. Yes it takes me a bit longer to scan message board (my initial impression; maybe I will take a note and click on ads because of that) and I would prefer to have recent posts "static" meaning that after reading message or replying it does not disappear from the list because it feels like user has less control. One suggestion I would have is to see if another font would be more appropriate for titles but it is good now as it is.
Of course it is, but Baron said it was irrelevant info, although most of us disagree with him. A poster with 100s of posts has slightly more credibility (and less likely to be a sock puppet) than a 1 post wonder. The funny part is that there is a half inch thick line that doesn't contain anything but the poster's name and small avatar. That is lots of wasted space, as useful info goes.... Now you have to click on the poster's name if you want to see that info...
Don't even bring the concept of credibility into it ...... Some weird first name, no last name, no date of birth no social security number no residential address or place of business, no phone number etc.,
ET gets more credit and support from its enemies\competitors than from its members. T2W was running some kind of bs campaign where they had some high vol posters do negative, demeaning reviews about ET. The message to AfterLos was clear - jealousy.
I'm not really active here any longer, but what I liked about 'old ET' was the top page showing all threads across the forum with recent posts.
There is a recent posts page, 2 clicks from the home page. http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?find-new/20916/posts
Feature request suggestion: enable paging for each thread in the forums list view. last page button is mandatory.
And that's also the perfect place for each post's date and time rather than where it is now located at the bottom of each post.
