what just happened?

[first timer]

Is it just me? I just saw the forum in crazy outline, list format.

From the forum heading "General Discussion" I clicked on an individual thread and what popped up was quite unusual. The format listed every option for interaction with the poster, like a very detailed outline. I.e. direct access to their albums, profile and private messaging.

Is this new? Or did I just discover something that's always been there? Or is the forum adopting a new style?

I have not noticed this outline, I tried to duplicate it, but had no success.
Is is back to normal for you today?

Thanks for testing that out Nancy, I took another look today.
Over on the far right above the open thread is a toolbar. I hadn't noticed it there before.
There is a dropdown menu below "display", the choice of several viewing options is available there.

I must have accidentally changed the view from my usuall "linear" mode to one of the others.
Once that happened the format changed, how much is a matter of degrees. It depends on which page of the site you are using.
