"With the "New Style" format, will there be any way to see a FULL LIST of all the screen names in a MEGA-"ping list"

You can "view source" then copy and paste.

I can live with the changes, but I do have a couple questions:

Thanks.

I don't like the new style - but, I guess we're stuck with it whether we do or don't. I'd prefer the ability to access the old style in settings, for any number of good reasons... but it seems that personal preferences is not the agenda.

Click "settings" at the bottom of this page and you can set it to 250.

Thanks Tony - that will help me when I am trying to follow a big thread.

What would be EVEN MORE USEFUL, would be a "show next 25/50/100/200/all posts" button right at the bottom of the thread with the other buttons. Having to depart the thread, and change the setting for any and all threads I might view, is CUMBERSOME and a PITA.

It doesn't really matter what default setting is; what is needed is more flexibility to change around while I am viewing a thread, within the thread.

As it is, I have to leave,change the default to see a different number of posts, leave, change it back again to get my preferred default.

**shrug, sigh**

C'mon, I just got used to the OLD Style...hehehe.

(Although I like the "ping list" ability one can do...more than a few names to ping at a time, ping categories...very cool...but I STILL miss the "e-mail tag"! That was fun to play with. **g**)

Not having top and last is extremely hard when you're on web tv and want to refresh the thread. With the old style, just refresh and push last, then you see the new reply. With the new style, refresh and you have to go through all the replies to see one new reply. Repeat to see the next new reply.

Isn't it against Federal law to discriminate a thread due to its' age?

I miss archive function also.
