As someone posted on a thread it would rotate to the top and then travel down as new posts on other threads happened.
Yeah Don, that's the same screen that I had as my "home screen". Truthfully, if you simply hit the tab "Today's Posts" the information presented is the same as the old screen, minus the gallery taking up space at the top and minus the advertisement band at the left side which gives full screen display of the threads - a big improvement in my mind. I found the initial bright white screens to be a bit glaring, but this Robin egg blue format is quite nice - easy on the eyes, and good contrast with the text. Sure, it all looks a little different, but Brent has done a ton to make the way it works all but identical and now those who use Facebook, Blogs, and other "cutting edge" features can do that too. Admitedly there are some small differences, like when one hits "Reply" it goes first to the "Quick Reply" format and you have to select "Go Advanced" but nine times out of ten a Quick Reply works just fine. I really think if you spend a bit of time playing with the buttons you'll find it is really very nearly the same - that's what I have found, anyway.
