LOL Are you finished John?
It is better today without those pictures.
I just tried on my iPhone and at first the old format came up, but after I did a page reload I got the new one.
I'll try this for a few days and advise MY opinion.
Almost finished. Still awaiting your feedback. :roll:

Trouble editing posts before or after submitting. Caution!

Edit: Hmm, it is working ok now, I think.


Edit #2 or 3, I forget: I used a proprietary name that apparently self edits and misspells it and all the fixing I try to do, it undoes. I'm good with that, maybe it has been doing that all along.

I was shocked when I searched for that thread and it was 5 years old...

My feedback.....
I like the new format EXCEPT I miss the feature where the new unread posts showed up in bold.

Desert Albin just posted a note with a reference to a Craigslist ad.

https://sunshine.cragslist.ca/boa/6051389767.html (note variant speling of craigslist.)

I had a similar issue with a post that didn't like "Craigslist" and changed the spelling to cragslist. Odd or just us?

I know John has blocked some names and links (there's a boat broker who will probably be banned forever) so that may be what's happening here. Was the post in one of the sale forums or in the main ones?

I can't seem to find the post today. For whatever reason, it seems when c-list is spelled correctly or linked to in a post, the spelling changes to "cragslist" thus making it difficult to go there. It seems like this is a recent development, but I don't catch everything.

I can handle the new format so far. I like the bold recommendation, but never seem to notice it before. I always used the date as a guide for how far to go back.

Any way to easily add the original post date to message summary? It is in the actual message.
