I'm even more annoyed that the posts are now sorted by reply date than by creation date. It's bad enough that read messages don't change color, but now it's too much trouble to even find all the new messages because of all the older messages getting mixed in.

Was this forum broken enough that all these changes had to be made?

I've posted a new thread in the community forum to address the issue, but I'm really getting tied of changes being made for the sake of changing things when this was a pretty good forum before the changes.
