Like those who have posted in this thread above me, I use the search function to check and see if there have been any new posts to any of the threads to which I have posted. I don't like the fact that I can't tell from the date sorting whether or not anyone has posted to that thread since the last time I checked - only sorts by the date that I posted. Sometimes - lots of times - I want to see if anyone has responded and the old way would show the LAST post to the thread, not just the date that I posted. I haven't had my coffee yet, so don't know if this makes sense, but I can tell you it is annoying!
