Michel,

>We asked for a few days, from several threads on this forum, for what members wanted to have as additional options in order to be prepared for this change. When there was no new request, we released it last night.

I never saw these threads. I don't read the chatter forum every day.

>Simply let me know what other options you would like to have which would ease your way of working into this mode.

I'd like the forum selection cbo reinstated.

The other downside to the loss of this cbo is that now I have to be subscribed to a forum to even see it at all! I used to be able to just go select a forum and read it without it being in my list of 4 subscribed forums.

>As for messages you don't want to see in other forums, if you really don't want to see them, at first, I would suggest you remove the participation in those forums from your setup.

Michel that's a rather silly suggestion. I am only subscribed to 4 forums. VFP, Chatter, SQL and .Net.

>See also forum ordering that has been added in Forums in order to define the priority of which messages should come first.

So this is a sort of good thing. At least it pushes the least interesting forums to the bottom of the pile.

>There is also the coloring syntax that has been added in order to respond to a better forum separation identification when reading messages.

I don't see color is that a PUTM feature only? I don't think different colored lists is all that good of an idea, but since I don't see this option I can't really say if it works ok or not.

>And, of course, we'll do more, as far as new options go in regards to this, in order to have something that you will still be satisfied from.

I was satisifed with that little one line tall cbo to select my forum of interest at any particular point of time.

Why not go back to the cbo and have an "All Forums" option which would basically work like what you've changed to?
