What's up with the blue dot found at the beginning of the Thread Title? After I read a thread, I notice that the blue dot is still there. I thought it denoted new, unread threads and that it would disappear after I read them. Is this not the case?

Finally ... Now where's that list !

I noticed that the citations by means of <cite> ... </cite> now look as normal text. This makes things totally unreadable, obviously. But ... these HTML tags are not in the text anymore, so, quite hard to solve (not actually) by means of some reparsing. Regards, Peter

Wow, this new format is really cool, but so different from the comfortable old familiar format. I'm just bebopping around, and figured I would start a thread to list possible issues. Possible, because I am not sure if it is a feature, a bug, user error, or simple unfamiliarity with the way it works. In any case, this was the most interesting (and scary!) advertisement I have ever seen on CA. No way I could bring myself to click on it! -Paul And on Macs at least, the attached image above is a wee bit tiny!

Personally, I miss the handy little recent posts sidebar with the "recents" ID'd by author and highlighted in red.

I like the new layout, Chris! Feels pretty snappy on my iPad as well. Thread navigation seems much easier too. Nce one!

This is a great forum, but can be very confusing for newcomers. Even just a cursory read of the threads will have a newbie encounter those claiming to hear things that in theory should not be heard and which most do not hear. Computer audio is obviously going to become more and more popular. There are going to be more and more people like me coming here who are music lovers and for whom computers and gear are just necessary evils. So it would be very helpful if the FAQ or some other associated upfront section could include links to properly conducted DBT on issues like cables, Hi Res v redbook, FLAC v WAV,etc. That way, a newcomer could avoid becoming hopelessly confused over all the subjective stuff in the threads and make a decision based on accepted scientific principles. The more time I spend here, the more obvious it becomes that many people underestimate the power of the mind to deceive itself. Expecting ones ear alone to tell the truth just doesn't work. Quite often even the most rational will see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear. I work in the medical industry (nurse) and have daily encounters with the placebo effect. It is extremely powerful and many pseudo medical industries are built around it. I hope this is taken for what it is, i.e, constructive criticism from an outsider looking in. As I said, this is a great forum but I think it would gain a lot of credibility by dealing with these issues upfront and in a very visible way. Newcomers would feel much more comfortable and less bogged down. They could still chose to enter into some of the more fringe/controversial debates if they wished, but would have the mainstream scientific stance to fall back on. As it stands now, the fringe has more of a voice than it deserves on the forum and credibility is the loser.

Hi Chris, hi to all users, I just tried to do a search on how to quit usbmuxd process. So I searched for "usbmuxd" and the search returned only one page. I am very sure, that there was a thread about quitting this process or at least a couple of posts on that subject. I find the search function not very useful and it hinders me from using ca as the great knowledge database it is. Are there any hints on using search? If not and it is a matter of the search functionality - Chris please improve the search function. Thanks Claudius
