I have to ask about certain functionality that seems missing or incorrect.

At the top of the message board is a SORT dropdown, it is always set to "Relevant". I set it to "Latest", but the next time I visit that page (or even refresh the page), it goes back to "Relevant". Please make "Latest" sticky.

There is no block-quote feature.

Adding to all of the above, there does not appear to be a way to search for the posts that I originated. I can find the posts I have commented on, but that's not what I want. Nor do I see a way to search for a reply on a topic that I made; in other words, I type in the topic into the search bar and then I want to limit the results of the search to only those posts or replies that I made; all I can do is show my profile and then they are in some order, but not apparently searchable, and impossible for me to find anything I might have written a few months ago.

In my opinion, this new board is a major decrease in usability and limits our effectiveness to help Lightroom users, and I vote for going back to the old board. I see absolutely nothing improved on this new board.

Last straw: the sort dropdown that says "Relevant" of course is without context ("Relevant to what?") and it essentially places the posts in what seems to me to be random order. Unhelpful! And then when I switch the dropdown to "Latest", it means the threads that were originated the "Latest". There is no way to find thread that have recent replies, and sort the threads in that order, as there was on the old board, and as there is on every other (non-Adobe) forum I participate in.

Last time I was on a (non-Adobe) forum that effectively ordered the posts by their definition of relevant (which is essentially random to me), I left. I went away for a few months, and came back when they had finally made the board useful to me. I don't need this frustration of using a board where 80% of the previous functionality is gone. See ya in a few months.

Okay, @marklit, I have run into another problem which I consider unacceptable. When I want to reply to a reply (not to the original post), I click on reply and I get a very small dialog box to type into. If I type more than about one sentence, I can't even see the entire message I have typed, and there's no apparent way to scroll back to the beginning of what I have typed. Nor is there a preview where I can view my entire message. I consider this to be unacceptable and it needs to be fixed immediately.

Adding, many times we need to add a screen capture in our reply to reply (not reply to the original message), but there's no button to allow us to do this when we reply to a reply. As I said, this needs to be fixed immediately.
