Jim: Once again, thanks for curating this list. More generally, this is an active thread on the RBW, IBob, and CR lists. Me, gmail and list traffic -- RBW, IBob, CR -- is behaving on my 2 Macs and my iPhone just as it has been doing for the last10 or 15 years; I guess I don't really want to know

I will say that even in the past 2 or 3 weeks there have been a lot of changes (most for the better) to the new Google Groups format. They've made a few management things easier, which I like, but have some other new aspects which cause issues. At this time, I have no plans to try to migrate

Where do you find the Sticky Messages that used to appear at the top of the board, such as the Rivendell Timeline and the Riv Reader links? On Tuesday, November 24, 2020 at 8:02:40 AM UTC-6 bjmi...@gmail.com wrote: > I'm not volunteering for this because I don't have the time or patience or >

I'm not volunteering for this because I don't have the time or patience or skills...but I belong to another forum where people geek out about something that most people don't care about (putters...you know...for golf?). It runs on forum called Simple Machines

why doesn't it show messages with last posting at the top so you don't have to scroll down to find the last in? why are not the new messages in a bolder font so you can easily tell the old from the new? i only view on my pc desktop. On Monday, November 23, 2020 at 11:06:21 PM UTC-8 Eamon

I think I am done dealing with this new format. It's too difficult and annoying for me to read. Later, folks! Eamon On Thursday, November 12, 2020 at 3:05:03 PM UTC-8 Eamon Nordquist wrote: > Same here. It’s unusable on my iPhone. > > Eamon > Seattle > > On Tuesday, November 10, 2020 at

And talk about dumb and redundant/not necessary, after I post, a comment comes up New Message Posted/ View Message. You hit View Message, then it comes up New Message from Mark Roland. Really? Who is that? In front of the message is a refresh circular arrow. You must now hit this (third step)

I just got involuntarily forced into the new view. How this is an improvement I have no idea. The nice easy visual parameters that let you know what you've read, how many messages have posted since, who the OP was, etc., all knowable at a glance. I see that top posts have also been removed.

That's disappointing. I am still on Classic view. I don't suppose that will last now. Perhaps the new format will be tweaked over time to make it more user-friendly. Or maybe it's the beginning of the end for Groups as we know it. IanA -- You received this message because you are subscribed

That's my experience. Classic was there yesterday & gone today. Settings only includes global, report, & help now. I'll see if I can detect the bold but it's nowhere near as much more bold than in classic. Seems kinda silly. I liked the bold in the classic esp because it indicated new

The new group sucks. But, new messages should be highlighted (bold). If so, then read what you want. Look for the 3 dots to mark as read for whatever you don't read. Good Luck! On Tuesday, November 10, 2020 at 3:25:12 PM UTC-8 dougP wrote: > Apparently the classic format is now history. My
