The new Community Boards are Mass Chaos

  • Printing is unfortunately broken. Besides not being able to print out individual posts any more (since we can’t even view individual posts any more), the interface hijacks printing on Chrome, and has a limit of 10-20 articles a day. After that? Tough luck - you can’t print or save to PDF any more. The limit can be adjusted, but the print hijacking and inability to print individual comments/articles is a loss.

  • The lack of individual posts is also a ‘big deal’ in the sense that while we may always want our posts to be part of a discussion, we may not want them always shown directly alongside the words of every other person in that discussion. The thing I enjoyed about the previous TMF system was the fact all posts were read in isolation; and if interesting, you could zoom out to the whole thread. This is a significant loss, for me.
