Ed etc. 3 - "My Profile"
3 Answers
Again I have copied from an earlier exchange:
On the old AB,when you looked at your profile and "Questions I have Answered" your answers were listed by when YOU answered them.
On the new AB the answers are listed by when the questions were ASKED(even if this was days or weeks ago).
This make it very difficult to keep a track of your answers,because the most recent you gave are not at the top of the list.
Rather they are buried way dow at the date the question was originally answered!
This is not only awkward,it is illogical too.
Can we revert to the old way please? Mr Veritas (00:44 21-Sep-2009)

Hi Mr.Veritas,
...We will put it on the list...
Spare Ed
I can't see you ever getting formatting and hyperlinks back, but you have promised the Preview, which is needed even for plain text, as you will see from the way this question gets posted.
You have been repeatedly saying "we'll get there!" about these and everything else ever since you inveigled me back on the site with an email that I did get, promising returnees better things.
On another thread you said "there aren't many site issues left for you lot to complain about." We have almost given up. This is a desperate throw.

I have just worked my way through your threads.
In response:
You have quoted me out of context on that last bit. I was referring to the way the thread spiralled away from site issues - suggesting that the userbase has a smaller ammount to worry about currently. I do know there are things which still need doing but that is why we have the list!
As I have said before, the techies have been working on back-end stuff for a couple of weeks - this is stuff they needed to do to make the site strong. They have been setting foundations. We can now build on it adding usability and toys.
I am about to start a thread a called "What is The Answerbank?" - this is simply to find out what Users thing the mai purpose of the site is, join us over there for a debate.
All the best,
Spare Ed

Much appreciated, Ed. I hope Im not clutching at straws.
Sorry about the decontextualization of the last bit. But your underlying supposition is context-free!
Will pin my hopes on "What is The Answerbank?" Will keep my Qs to a minimum as you may readily see I always have, and will prob try to ration my time on here as well, as I am too crocked up to be able to sit at the PC for long, both physically and mentally (from the brainfag of trying to discern any rational principles in My Profile in the hope of being able to navigate the anfractuosities of the various tabs and fathom them deep enough to find anything).
