I'm gonna do my best explaining this problem I have with the new platform, but I don't know if many use it like I do:
The first thing I do when I get on the forum is go to my "Profile", by clicking on "Bearcarver".
Then right below my Bio information is "Your Recent Activity".
This is a list of every post I have made, in the order of newest to oldest, and if anyone made a comment since the last time I did, there is a little number beside it. Then I click on that thread Title, and that takes me to that thread. That way I can see who said what since I was there, and if there is any question I need to answer, I can answer it.
After I have looked at all of the ones I can see, I click on "More" at the bottom. That takes me back a few more posts. I keep clicking "More", and I keep going back as far as I want, checking to see if I need to answer anyone. I usually stop after I click "More" a few times without any little numbers showing any more.
Now Here is the difference between now (The New Platform), and the way it was in the Good Old Days with the Old Platform:
In the old days, when you would click on one of the thread Titles, it would take you to that thread, and when you were done there, you could click "Back", and it would take you to the page you were last at in the "Your Recent Activity" pages.
Now in the current Platform, you can click on one of the thread Titles, and get to that thread too, but when you're done there, if you click "Back", it takes you all the way to the beginning page in "Your Recent Activities".
So if you had to click on "More" ---- lets say 8 times to get to a page that has three threads that you need to look at, you have to go back to the first page, and click on "More" 8 times for each of the other two threads.
I think that stinks!
Hope somebody understands my explanation.
Thanks,
Bearcarver
