Post dates out of order

[loveyourimagination49]

Within a thread, why are the post out of order? Ex Oct 14, Oct 15, Oct 20, Oct 14 etc.

Is it part of the new and improved experience. 🙃

Can you explain why you like it?

I started the thread and I don’t want to read it out of order. It’s like finding out the ending to a story in the middle of it.

Can you give some pros, because I have zero.

I am sure not every single poster hates it, I don't.

You might be the only one.

If there was a lone (non eBay employee) poster on that thread that said they liked it then I missed it in the sheer chaos of the out of order replies.

The posters that spend the most time here helping others expressed how bad it is in terms of functionality and being able to follow a discussion to help others- that should carry some weight.

Yours is an opinion as is mine. The point being, your opinion does not reflect everyone that post on the boards. Saying that every single poster hates it, is simply not a true fact. In my opinion, most don't care one way or the other.

So I'm guessing this "experiment" is why I could see the poster of the last post on a thread before I opened it but didn't actually SEE that post by that poster as the last post on the thread?

Excuse me - I need to go take a headache tablet.

I can't answer that--I use the linear format, not the threaded format, so I'm not sure how it appears to those who use choose to use it.

Maybe you could direct your question to @redmodelt, since s/he apparently uses the threaded format.

I'm actually not the one who said that, so I'm not sure why you chose to direct your comment to me. If you're looking for a "true fact," you might want to go back and review the posts on this thread.

If you're trying to engage in some kind of argument, I'm not interested enough to bother.

@pburn 

Your last post is post 6 of 24, which if not threaded would be 24 of 24.

I have done everything recommended. The Linear will not stick. It says success, but it isn’t working for me. I cleared cookies/cache, updated, logged in/out reboot. Oldest first and Linear. 

Glad it’s only on this board. 😩😠

[loveyourimagination49]

It’s fixed for me. Thanks everyone!

Went thru the same thing on another thread............apparently there is a lag time before changes "work"............

[redmodelt]

You could but I don't look at the dates and times just read the posts. 🤔
