      Do you prefer the old format (what you see right now), or the "new" format (what you saw yesterday, 1/14/21)?

        Yesterday’s was fine, as long as any quoted text is smaller and/or lighter than the newer reply text.

        The old format looks pretty jammed-up...it’s a little difficult to tell where one post ends and another one begins.

          Content, my friend, is what this site needs. Content.

            I agree with Dale. The new format is nice in that it is spread out a bit and has (if I recall) a larger font. But reconsider the font styles: the new post should be the boldest/darkest/largest font, while the quoted items should be less so. And the signatures should be the smallest/lightest font, perhaps even italics as with the old style.

              Well, at the moment, 1/14/21 is still today, not yesterday.

              I like the look of this version, but I would like the "Reply as topic" button to be at the bottom. Having to scroll to the top to do this is awkward. Also, in this version, I can scroll the comments if I want to see what someone posted while I'm composing a reply. If I recall correctly, this wasn't possible with the other version. I have the opposite impression than Dale Proctor; I find it easier to distinguish posts on this version than the other one.

              Good luck creating a format that works well for everyone!

                This is what I was talking about. The reply, quote, etc. line belongs to the post above it, but it’s hard to tell, because the “about 3 hours ago” line belongs to the post below it. There needs to be some separation between the two so you don’t accidentally reply to the wrong post.

                    I see what you mean now. Thanks for clarifying. I had to double check this response to you; the first time I responded to myself. I discarded that one.

                    I noticed that I couldn't respond to Newell Post because of a blue line listing the post number blocks my access to do so. See below:

                      What? You aren't in the state of peaceful happiness?

                      I believe many here are at peace and happy, myself being such an example.

                        I did not see any new format. In any case, what aggrevates me most is "wasted space" that makes me have to scroll to see even only a couple of lines. Facebook is my biggest loser 2020 in this respect.
