2 Reactions@johnbishop John is there a new way to start z discussion? And when you reply to someone is it @ and the persons contact name? I know about recent and old but sometimes you find yourself when you see a discussion that it's what you want to see if someone has information on l find myself sometimes going to and old post. Do you think they will get rid of a text that's a year old?

1 ReactionHi Lisa @techi, Starting a discussion is still done the same way by scrolling to the top of the window, clicking on the Group discussion name you are in and then clicking the Start a Discussion button. Yes, when you want to make sure a member receives an email notification you use the @ sign and his member name. The old text is not going away. The newest change to Connect was hopefully to make it easier to follow a conversation and make the posts a flat view that you can sort oldest to newest or newest to oldest. What's really nice now is when you see a post that you have not been following, it's easier to see the context and flow because it provides a link at the top of the post to let you know who the person was replying to in their post.
Hopefully it's helping members follow a conversation easier but it's like anything when there is a change. It might take a little time to get used to it.
John

1 Reaction@marilyns: The opening part of my post "You asked..." was meant collectively. Many in the Connect community reported that it was a challenge to easily find the most recent posts, especially in long discussion threads.
