I tend to try to read through most responses to a thread to eliminate duplicate content. However, with this new format one needs to click on every freakin response in the chain.

To me it seems that the new format makes the forum almost unusable? So I figured that I would throw this out there in case a little feedback might make it go back to the way it was.

HA! It looks like if I use IE instead of firefox it looks the way I expect it to look with no change. Does this mean that firefox pushed out a patch that breaks 914world?

What new format?

Me thinks you may have changed your view settings to "Outline".
Click on the "Options" button in the top right hand corner and select "Standard" and your view should be back to normal ...

You accidentally clicked a board setting that took you to a different format. Perhaps you hit "lofi format" at the bottom of the page. or Options at the top left (should be standard).

I use fire fox and everyhting is peachy.

Hi Andy,

I have not changed any settings. On the same computer if I view through firefox browser it comes up in outline. If I view through IE it looks normal. I will just use IE on 914world ...

Double check your settings in Firefox and make sure it's on "Standard" ...

PS: I'm posting this with Firefox and my view is as it should be.

Hmm. It looks like I must have done exactly that.... Seems that maybe firefox writes a cookie to a separate location than IE. I changed the view on firefox and now it works.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I was worried some new look had been rolled out. Glad to find out that it was just a mis click on my part.

You may be talking about the outline setting for threads. Hit the options box at the start (top right) of the thread and change it back to standard.

What I have had happen is someone post a link to another thread and there setting are set funky and it changes mine to their format. Thats probably what happened.
