But we noticed earlier as we spend too much time playing in here. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=57#post-385 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:37:42 +0000 Ian Searle 385@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Am I the only person who seems to have been 'disappeared' overnight?

This 'straight to content' style could be a good thing for people who are logging on, especially newbies, as it will reduce steps to the user content, and make the whole thing seem less intimidating, and more inclusive ... otherwise there's a danger that the new format could (from the outside) start to look like a load of established private discussions between exclusive cliques.</p> <p>- It could preserve a 'live' chat element.</p> <p>- It could create the opportunity for 'crossed threads;, and 'mixed up' feeds, possibly with interesting and entertaining results some of the time, and - like the unintended humour derived from the goodle ads in old chatroom - this could be a source of entertainment and inspiration in its own right.</p> <p> - As well as allowing focused discussions and targeted co-operations on specific topics (which the new structure should do more effectively that the previous one) it would still be good to have a way to get more heuristic stuff in as well.</p> <p>Don't know if this is feasible, or if it is even desirable? Does anyone know what I mean? If so, please explain it to me! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46#post-193 Tue, 16 Feb 2010 19:41:00 +0000 Stan Laurel 193@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Please don't. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46#post-177 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 23:35:23 +0000 rikkor 177@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>So bored, but...</p> <p>Don't you think it would be best if the most recent post were at the top?
