I really like the suggested new format! It is faster for those of us who can scan articles without having to click on interesting sounding topics that are of no interest in-fact with the printed content. Go for it!!

Sorry, I really, really don't like it. It takes me much too long to find posts of interest. Now, if only there were a magic way to expand just the titles so it was easier to guess what was in the post, that would be fantastic!
Alternately, what if posts and responses were tagged with a short list of topics that described the nature of their content, somewhat like hashtags but chosen from a limited list? That would be so helpful.

Much better than the old format. I often find the titles less than helpful in trying to decide whether or not it’s worthwhile opening the post.

I like the present format. It gives me the sections that I subscribe to and I can see the title thread then I pick and choose what thread I want to read or ignore.
Unless I am missing something I do not see that option in the new format.

I like it and expect I will use it instead of the "old" format. As others have said, the "topics" in the traditional format can be so cryptic that several button presses later you realize it is not something you wish to pursue. Also the shortcut for posting seems like it will make that activity easier. I think new members will definitely find it more intuitive, and veteran members can spend less time explaining what buttons to push to accomplish various tasks. I don't have any changes to suggest at this point.

I sorta like the new one, but not while I'm at work, for reasons cited above. I'd vote for optional, your choice depending on your mood or circumstances.

While being resistant to change I like the format. However, I'd also like to vote for keeping the current format. I am voicing this opinion now in the event that there is a future effort to eliminate the old format in favor the proposed one.

After reading your reply and watching for the issue I was describing below, I'm not seeing it now. Maybe I had some bad coffee.......
