Yet more confusion - why not ask Forum members what they wanted?

Brian Edwards
I appreciate that MSC tried to anticipate what people like Martin might want.  But why spring this on us unannounced, when MSC knows that there's existing Forum members (from Adams and other MSC products) that are quite passionate and wouldn't mind helping get a new site to have some nice functionality?
 
It just really seems like somebody made a decision in a vacuum without customer feedback.  And even if you nail it with what users want, it's not generally a pleasant experience to find somebody has switched the rug out from underneath you without even consulting.  Obviously it's MSC's ball and they can play with it how they want, but at least from the Adams side, a lot of the heavy Forum lifting was done by non-MSC forum members, and it would be good to involve them in the gameplan.
 
And I hate it when my only form of feedback is a pissy post on a new Forum.  Sorry for my rant!  :)

    Ah, I misread the misposted post, assuming it was not from the Adams forum, that explains it...
     
    And, yes, all the other forums in the universe have a "most recent posts" button, invoking a search for recent posts sorted in reverse chronology. Then all of the posts themselves are prefixed with a "New Posts" button that jumps you to the oldest post that you have not yet read. I recall starting to use that functionality over 15 years ago, seems like something that mature should be pretty ingrained and widely available.
