Yes I have, the reason is pretty simple. The discussion format is one of the worst layouts to actually encourage discussion out there. It's anti intuitive, labor intenvise and just plain not user friendly (especially the app). What keeps me coming back is the uniqueness of the actual concept and even more so the people!

LTC (Join to see), I am not saying that they have to go to a standard discussion board, but a far better method of categorizing everything outside it being"somewhere" in /answers

TSgt Joshua Copeland and TSgt J.D. Hall I understand. I had that issue in the past as well or have tried to find if someone already asked someone and not find it. Weeks later my discussion was merged because someone already had asked it. Not ideal in that aspect, but if the standard list as in other formats it may be harder to get others to comment on questions if they were years old (should a 2LT salute a 1LT?) instead in this format it pops up to the top.

LTC (Join to see), that depends on how the software is configured. Many other forum software applications allow the default sort order to be one of a few different configurations ranging from date of initial post, last post, and number of posts. Some even provide granularity to only show the last x day/months/years of posts.

I would like to see them go to a standard discussion format. I don't know the reason why they don't. Just to be different? Different isn't always better.

Thank you and agreed, only one hiatus per member! lol Well, let's see it wasn't so much what brought me back as it is what kept me away; simply put, the last several months have been just that action-packed! : )

At risk of sounding like a broken record, because I've said it in other threads, yes because of the format of the site. I stayed, because I like to talk military and this place is more transparent than other military sites. Meaning I know the true status of the people I'm talking to.
