To fix that:

At the right edge of the top of the page click on SETTINGS.

SCROLL down to MY SETTINGS on the left edge

and click on GENERAL SETTINGS

Under GENERAL SETTINGS scroll down to Thread Display Options

Click the box to the right of Thread Display Mode:


Click on Linear - Newest First

Scroll to the bottom and click SAVE Changes

I hope this solves the problem for you.

Perhaps it may be usefully to establish a candidate’s term in office as friend or foe, but if that is to be the case, then create a category of historical information. Don’t let recent information be buried under stuff 11 years old.

The reason that our endorsements materials from 2004 are still visible, yet placed at the lowest section of our website, is to 1. Keep a record of those past elections online because people still need to see and access that data as they review the past history of this issue and we need to see what candidates stances were way back then in case they run again. 2. We still get web traffic off of those old endorsements and when people find anything they are looking for here at alipac.us then they have a chance to take a broader interest in our contents and activism. Anyone looking at our endorsements from 2004 should easily see our endorsements from 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, and the last election cycle 2014 right above those. They can also see our current standing endorsements prominently displayed with a banner at the bottom of each page at www.alipac.us and on the top blue tool bar under campaigns.

If we were to remove or delete our 2004 campaigns that would make all that data disappear from the web and break every inbound link that was established from other websites coming in to that data.

It also speaks to ALIPAC's seniority and our track record on illegal immigration issues when we speak about current candidates. We are not the new kid on the block anymore.

What do you mean that your posts are being "blurred"? Is this a new problem or something that has been happening for awhile

???

Instead of just complaining please tell us when your problem started, where your problems started, and what is it that you are trying to report other than a post "blurred" on your screen. I have not encountered any blurry content.

Has anyone else here been seeing or having trouble with blurring content???

There is a chance that the changes to our website may be temporarily affecting some user experiences.

Or the problem could be on your individual computer or device.

Dont get too used to those features as we are planning to remove them to free up resources since nobody reported having used them previously.

NO.

I miss the Forums button. When I was several pages into a forum and I wanted to go to a different one I could just click that button to get back up to the top. Now, I must hit the browser Back button several times to get there.

Artclam, you can just hit the Home button to get

to the top instead of forum or click on the top banner.

Both will do the trick.
