Hola Señor Peter..... jus wonderin...... why.......

Sam Salmon says on Sep 16, 2008, 22:24:

This newest version is a POFS.

I can't find 'active' with a gun in my hand-I see it occasionally flash in front of me as I click on a thread but that's it.

' a la orden!'

Click on the arrow beside of the word "Forums" and then the word "active" is under that.
Is that what you are talking about, Sam?

christobeldawg says on Sep 16, 2008, 22:35:

but still, the actives often are way down the line, whereas they used to be the first ones listed.
Peter, I appreciate all the work you guys put into this, I really do, but it seems it changes so fast, the format, the way to do things, like you are some kinda mad scientiest or something, changing things so much, and so fast, that, that, that... well I don't know what else to say.

admittedly, arriving can feel great too

I think that by clicking on "active" it moves them to the top.

You just have to dig into a menu to do it by clicking on a tiny arrow that's not on every page. I would bury the uncommon stuff in the menu and leave the heavily clicked on items up front. Many people use this active a LOT. Newbies will never know the arrow equates to a menu layer.

IMNSHO sticking something so frefquently used as "active" in that menu is like keeping your toothbrush in a box in a closet.

You shouldn´t have to look for it and explain how to click it for it to work, it should be so obvious a child could do it.

I agree with Roci and Paulr....I hate having to click on the arrow to click on Active. Once upon a time Active was the default, then Peter changed things and made Active a link (after people complained) , and now it's buried in a menu. This is certainly not an improvement.

Peter, please restore Active as a link.

Active as a link, I do agree, the drop down menu sometimes gets stuck in the way.

And Peter while we are making demands please clean your room and throw out those scrappy jeans with the holes.

Canadian beer on top? Blech! To a Belgian like Peter, that's like saying "pretty please with piss on top."

Houston Gal has the right idea: chocolate-covered Belgian waffles. With a side of Brussels sprouts. Yum-yum.

Please unbury the active link I vote for that too. The new menu is buggy and stays presented once you click on it. Sometimes it is open when you don't click on it. Maybe the browser?
