Forums have now been converted to the Simplified format
I did a thing.
Per the results of our poll and reported in The Cut Sheet, I have converted all forums from the Threaded format to the Simplified format. All forums are now Simplified. Even the "Ask A Surveyor" forum came along for the ride.
THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the poll. I appreciate your insight and thoughts about it. I know it was a tough decision for some, because there are pros and cons for both formats.
Even now and moving forward, however, I would still like to hear your thoughts as you use the forums. Not just with this particular issue, but with any issue. I'm trying my best to shape this community in a way that we all can enjoy, while also considering the behind-the-scenes aspects of it. It's certainly a balance and you all help me to find it.
Cheers! ??¯
Works for me, so long as people quote enough of a previous post that we know what they are responding to.

This is an example of using the "quote" button. It includes a mention of the member I'm quoting and shows their full post.
quote enough of a previous post
This is an example of highlighting a specific portion of a member's post, then clicking on the quote button that appears directly below it. It mentions the member I'm replying to and quotes only the text I highlighted. I think a lot of people don't realize they have this option. 🙂

Would be nice to have a link, when a post is quoted, to jump to that post.

I'm interested what your thoughts are on how old threads can be resurrected?
Some forums it seems don't allow threads past a certain age, or having passed a certain period of inactivity, to be responded to.
I've noticed lately quite a few really old threads being re-lit.
Sometimes something worthwhile comes of it, other times, not so much.
Sometimes the people involved have long since disappeared anyway.
Just curious what the policy is.
(I also appear to have done something wrong, as what I was quoting and my text appear as 2 different posts ???? )
quote enough of a previous post
Good call, Bill.
