When I opened old rendero forum, I looked at the answers which some of my friends made to existing threads. I am interested in their comments - gives me hints. The new forums lost much transparency, by not showing the list of replies below the thread's title on forum's main page. If you disable the search for persons, too, forums will be "post only, no read, no lookup". New technology should mean progres. Couldn't we first : have the ways and means, which offered the old one, and then, second : add new features ? If you take away features and tools, many will go elsewhere. One can't decide, to change 3oooo people's behaviour. Thank you Gerhard P.S. example : I searched forum for the comments an artist made, to indicate this thread to a newbee, who got questions of that kind. Results : nadazero, gone. No way to find the artists' posts ? His contributions and comments are lost, forever ? What a sad world...
