Entire new Community Forum user interface is awful Please go back to the old one

This new architecture for the Community Forums is dreadful on numerouse accounts.  I can’t believe how awful it is and that someone at Adobe either had it developed this way or decided it was the best 3rd party option for something so important to the community.  Here are some eamples of where it is woefully lacking.

  1. can’t default posts in a thread to “Oldest First”
  2. Can’t tell it to display posts in a thread chronologically (replies go under the post they are replying to which scatters new ones all over the place so you can follow the chronology
  3. Email notification subject line does not say what thread it is about just says “new Bug” or “New Question” which is useless and requires opening each one to even see if it is one worth reading
  4. Copying selected text from a prior post to a new post in a thread doesn’t seem to exist as a tool.  Requires user to use the OS cut and paste, then manaully add info about who is being quoted and somehow mark the quoted text in some way to seperate it from your response 
  5. Posts in a thread are not numbered so in a new post one can’t sat something like “as shown in post #5…...)
  6. When viewing a thread there doesn’t seem to be a button to stop following that thread

If you want to see a really fine forum See the one in TheLightroomQueen.

    I was giving it a chance, but the more I use it the more faults I find and the more frustrated I become.  I wonder if anyone at Adobe is listening to this?   Someone authorized the expenditure of money and resources to get and implement this piece of junk.  I hope they are not trying to protect their decisions by ignoring how bad it is.

    there was a time when it seemed the problems would be addressed but in the past few months nothing (apparent to me) has been done.
