has broken off all the threads that go over the 12 reply limit that we could override with the other software. Now we can't use the 5224 code to keep going and must now start a new subthread even if the topic is the same for the previous subthread that we can't get into without it breaking now.
Wonderful stuff technology....I'm still waiting for the site builders to 'get it'. You don't EVEN want my opinion on it, do you?

You're an intelligent articulate person.
I just want to know whether those posts will ever be recovered?

my articulation on this subject would be filtered greatly......
I think the posts are still there.....they're just all broken up all over the thread and don't match up with anything anymore, if I'm understanding what Lee thinks happened. If I misunderstood, they have entered the Rod Serling territory and are gone for good as the new software ignores them completely if they are in the area of being past the 12-layered post limit.
This is the worst software change we've encountered in ten years, and we've seen some doozies....it just keeps getting worse in my opinion. And again in my opinion it's a way to finally be rid of the forums completely since they aren't money-makers for CNET and they didn't really want to keep the forums when they acquired them from ZDNET in the package anyhow.
The more people get fed up with the crappy software with no new technology like other forums allow, the more they will leave, which lets them off the hook by saying attendance and registration being down so low doesn't warrant keeping them, so they will blame the members rather than take the hit and give us back the features they've taken away little by little which made it enjoyable to be here for years.
The old saying of 'no mon, no fun, hon' will be the ultimate reason.

I didn't have a problem with the old SW, Why can't they just leave it alone? All we wind up with, Everytime, is fix after fix for things that weren't broken in the first place! And thats just my opinion

and the rest of the internet. The internet is trying to take control by blocking and/or changing messages so that they say what the internet wants them to say. It's almost as if the internet is trying to hijack cnet. Communication will be unreliable until one of the two centending sides is defeated.
Ooops! Wrong thread. Your regularly scheduled programming is now resuming operation.

pick. Literally, I mean the network as it exists outside of the cnet servers.

Checked for replies to posts, actually was able to bring up those posts, but they were buried below whatever makes the cutoff of eligible posts, so don't know if they have replies or not.
Is Toni correct or just upset when she claims they are dumping off the forums? Seems they wouldn't have spent manpower on ANY changes if that was the case.
If so, there's a few member run forums around for those who ask the right people about them, I'd suggest email someone since mention of another forum in a post used to cause a loss of message usually.
Taking that risk I'll say trollville's been mothballed so it's no competition, but it could be opened back up for a temporary crisis I guess.
I'll check back some other day to see if they've gotten this straightened out.

...you can still find old messages if you run a Search on member's names, or on some content in a prior message.
