I'm so turned off by the new look of the site (I imagine this must have been discussed ad nauseum), but I have been out of traveling) and miss some of the old features. When I do visit it seems like requests for help (whether is is child related or not) get very few responses. Why does it seem like the Toddler board moves at a snail's pace? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

They need to let us collapse threads and have them stay collapsed and to make read posts/old posts look different from new posts. [ Reply | More

as a message board maybe, but it does not allow for good instant conversation like UB did, and as a result much less traffic, which sucks. I am also tired of the same posts popping up on first page month after they were started. [ Reply | More

The board seems totally dead if you sort by recency, because you are missing 75% of the conversation that does that place (on older threads). [ Reply | More

Why can't you see the dates of the posts anymore? Why do old posts stay up for so long? Is it ordered by how many responses there are in a thread? [ Reply | More
