Yep, the power has gone to your head.

When will the switch occur?  ie will it be during normal US business hours like they normally do?

What day is it happening?  I am close to getting platinum but on the local boards I am only silver. 

"Next coming weeks." That's about as much as I know. They've promised that all the post counts will carry over. 

Apparently I have 26 posts over there.  I'm platinum here.  What gives?

Irish, I found a check box on the side for viewing recent posts first.  Not full sorting, but at least 2 options.

Has anyone tested on chrome?

I want that damn sorting option. And I hate it. Due to confusion.  And that my sig isn't there, just the link to it.

ETA: And I now have 1 post there. Lame!!!  I think. 

I don't know about the FB and twitter connections. I would think like anything on FB they should be able to unhook it some way.

I'm using it on a chrome based platform and I'm not having any issues, except weird single space returns. 

Sibil:

I use Chrome. I just checked a local board, and saw the new format. I also saw a check-box on the right-hand side for sorting post by latest reply.  

Does it finally allow chrome users to use smilies, links, and pictures?

Chrome is my primary platform, but it's on a computer that I don't have with me for the next few days.  That's why I'm asking people to do my testing :)

There's a link at the bottom of each post where it says "tweet" or "like." Meaning that if I'm logged into FB and the nest at the same time and accidentally click that it would show up on my FB? Helllll no.

Yup. 

my local board already created a FB group b/c so many people are p!ssed off about it linking to FB/Twitter.

I haven't been on all day --- if my Nest account is linked to a different email than my FB/twitter - will things still get linked somehow through IP?  I am afraid to post to try and find out.

WTF is wrong with the nest... really - this has to be the dumbest thing they have ever done.

I created a new account to test out the FB thing, it automatically detects if you are logged in to  FB/Twitter and links up if you hit one of the buttons.  So creating a new account really does nothing to make you more anonymous.

Pixy if there is anyway they can make it so we can disable the social networking connections I think that is priority #1 

From their perspective it isn't dumb. More ways to pull people into their site = greater revenue for them.

As for FB, as long as you don't accidentally hit the buttons, you're good. I'm really not understanding why people are freaking out about it. It's not like it's posting every post you create. 

pugznploons:

I don't trust the nest not to malfunction and out me on FB

Yes.  If I click it by accident and it shows up on my news feed and my nosy friends (cause let's face it, if I saw that on someone's page I'd def go read it) go to check it out (or co-workers) and I'm b!tching about one of them = bad news.

Because while YOU might not hit the button, other people might. And if you posted in that thread and have mutual friends, well I'm sure you can see where things have the potential to get ugly. 

If we can't sort by last reply, there is seriously no point in using these boards. I don't understand why that isn't the default anyways--it's how every other message board I've used works. 

I hadn't noticed the post count thing, but that sounds annoying.

And I wasn't bothered by the FB links until I read this thread and now I'm worried I'll hit them by mistake too!

What an idiotic "update." I didn't think they could make the nest less user friendly but I think they've gone and done it. Wow.

Probably because it's really easy to accidentally hit an incorrect button. I've done that in the past. Does it at least verify/confirm that you want something posted to fb or twitter? That would at least make it better as it'd be hard to accidentally hit an incorrect button twice.

A lot of people like to be anonymous on the nest, understandably so, therefore people are going to care if their fb or twitter can lead someone to their posts on here. 

I personally am not very anonymous on here, but wouldn't want most of my IRL friends on facebook reading what I type.

I must be the only person who doesn't sort by last reply. I never have, so that doesn't bother me at all. I am more annoyed by the My Posts changing. 

The FB doesn't automatically post to your wall. It brings up a pop-up and then you have to fillout and post a status update for it to appear on FB. Even so, it appears to only bring up the whole thread, not an individual's reply.

You can also Unlike any post you Like- while the popup is on.

According to people on the locals no it gives you no warning. And it is very hard if not impossible to delete. If you nest from a tablet this is like a death wish because mistakes would be so easy.
