The new solutions section at the bottom of each board is a nice addition.  Nice job so far Sandisk!

I don’t like “stickies” showing up in two places.  Didn’t like it before either and was hoping it would change with the upgrade.

Hate the new layout. I’m not someone who dislikes change, but man is this format annoying to browse through.

The light grey text, such as what is used for the date and time of the post is very hard to read. How about using something darker?

Black on white also can be punishing on the eyes, on a computer.  A light but not white background would be easier on the eyes, along with a bolder normal type font.

I say reverse it…white text on a black background.

Give it a day or two…it’s not as bad as I initially thought it was. They just need to make it not so blindingly bright!:wink:

Lines are needed between posts and threads.  It’ll make it easier to see each post and thread separately.

I miss the old forum. :cry:

Heyyyy . . . how come the Fuze+ gets it’s own board, but the Clip & Clip+ are bundled together in the same one?

And speaking of that, lumping all the other Sansa players into the same board is extremely confusing, both for n00bs and regulars around here. Kinda makes every board an ‘Off-Topic’ board. Also seaching for past answers/posts is a nightmare!

I do agree with you on the Clip and Clip+ being on one board. Never having had any of the older Sansas though, I’m ok with the “other mp3 players” board.:stuck_out_tongue:

The Clip and Clip+ are together in one board because they are versy similar in functionality. The firmware is almost identical. The Fuze and Fuze+ have separate boards  because they are vastly different in terms of firmware physical design and functionality.  

All other Legacy Sansa products have been moved to one board because we had several “dead” boards and moving them all to one board generates more traffic.

There is one outstanding glitch with the forum.  If I navigate backto “message listing” after checking thread, sometimes we get directed not to the original page, but one far down the line, as in page 100. 

It’s bizarre, suddenly finding myself browsing 2007.

Anyone else experience this?

Since when did sandisk become a drug rep? Every forum topic is now drug advertisements.

The spammers were probably horrible at spelling.  They probably thought they were advertising at the drug company Sandoz’s website.  lol :wink:

HI

It looks like your RSS feeds list the oldest 20 posts only. For example

http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/rss/message?board.id=all-usb-ssd&message.id=494

For forum threads with more than 20 posts, this means you never get to see the most recent post.

Surely the RSS feed should be sorted by most recent?
