Sometimes I feel that the changes made to the Leaky Lounge are slowing killing it.
I don't know why there has been the need to reduce the posts to response categories that don't even follow posting order, but I find it a change for the worse. You have to pop in and out of the flow chart and try to figure out what has been posted last and then before that. But you first seem to have to 'dig' to the end of the posts' pages to see the most recent post. Ok...I have been experimenting with it a little and I can get to the end now and see the last page of responses. But it didn't seem to be working that way at first. I don't know...are there still bugs in the system? I think it will make having conversations harder... For instance, when I click on my last 'Swine Flu' post, the only post that pops up is the very first thread starter post. My page turner at the bottom shows me on page 3...but none of the posts on page 3 are visible. It does seem like there is some bug in the thing. What is the logic or reasoning for this last change? I fail to see any benefit...it just makes navigating harder. Wouldn't it be better if it was just an option to go to the flow chart?

I'm not sure but it might be that your Display Mode has somehow changed, it happened to me once and I've no idea how. Have a look at the top of one of the forums, just on the top border of the first post there should be a button like this  Click on that and choose the Standard display mode which should give you back the pages of post in the right order. I hope that helps but if not please let us know and we'll think again.

Thanks so much! I was getting pretty frustrated and you nailed the problem. I've got my options changed and all is well.

Great, I'm glad it worked. As that has solved the problem I'll close this thread now.
