Back in the day, when we started BeerLeg.com (2010), we used a forum software that was much like the old-style threaded format. Sadly, we outgrew that software and eventually reached a point where we had to move on. After several iterations, trial and error, and lots of cussing, we've finally arrived here -- we now have threaded forums (again)!
One really cool thing about it is that we can apply threaded forums only to the categories where it truly makes sense. The following categories now use the threaded format:
Surveying & Related
Marketplace
Non-Surveying
Feel free to play around with it and ask questions in the Support forum.
?ÿ
Q&A Layout Improvements
Many updates and improvements have been applied to the Ask A Surveyor forum to improve usability.
?ÿ
Recent Posts Filter
The Recent Posts page now includes a dropdown menu on the right-hand side. This allows you to filter the list based on your preference.
?ÿ
Performance improvements
The overall forum system has been updated for better performance. The database has been greatly optimized and the queries to the database have been reduced.
?ÿ
Many bug fixes
And, as usual, many bugs were squashed. 🙂

Your feedback
Your ongoing, useful, helpful feedback is appreciated and we take it seriously. You can reply here or start a new thread in the Support forum.
Maybe Wendell if tweaking things again here n Monday.
I don't know if it is the threaded thing or not, but the formatting on some of the threads is all outta whack.
It is all white, all of the links and icons seem to have returns in them, and left justified making one message a page and a half long required a huge amount of scrolling to get through it.?ÿ Something looks broken.
This may be viewed as a blessing to most, but, I still have not figured out how to start a thread. ?ÿI can write it, but, can't find the button to add it. ?ÿSenility is fun. ?ÿEvery day is a new adventure.

Sounds like you need to refresh your browser cache.

The button to submit a post hasn't moved. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem?

I had the same formatting view issues, and can confirm that clearing the cache fixes it.
Do you suppose Kent will come back??ÿ I think lack of threading was one of his complaints.
No, Kent wants the style where you can see the header of all the posts under the original post so that he can see who is posting in the thread so he can decide if the thread merits his stellar contributory effort in a quick glance instead of having to take time to actually open the thread.
I seem to have lost the ability to create a new post.?ÿ I tried a rather lengthy one this morning and could not find a "post" option when I was done.?ÿ There is NOT an "Add Post" option visible........
Anybody else having issues with the "like" icon not showing up on a post they wrote. Its not there on posts I have written but does show up in the same thread for responses to my post by others.

The like button won't appear on posts you've posted because you can't like your own posts.
This is what I see when I am attempting to make a new topic.?ÿ I select Add Topic, complete a lengthy post, and this is the screen that I have.?ÿ (Yes, this one is empty because I don't feel like re-typing it until I have a way to post it.?ÿ ?ÿCan you find a "add topic" option ??ÿ ?ÿ Should I use Create Poll?

Looks to me like you need to refresh your browser cache.
