Yup, I agree. The "Modern view" is scaled back so much, it's actually annoying when a person is used to what capabilities is could have, but doesn't. But I prefer it over "Classic" because it's more in line with what I'm used to. To each his own if both are offered.
I suppose this discussion will continue to go on forever. In my opinion, I find two features of Modern overwhelmes everything else:
1. Threads are sequenced by the date of the most recent posting. Therefore if you check in a couple times a day, immediately you know "what's new". Even a old thread can be reactivated. I never go down more than a page or two in Classic. Who has the time?
2. Posts within a thread are sequenced by time of posting. You immediately can follow what's been going on in the discussion.
I agree that Classic gives you a quick look at the scope of the thread and who's contributing. But I use Modern because I can see what's current, and how the discussion has proceeded. To me it represents the reality of a real in-person discussion. Maybe there's a way to adjust Classic to sequence things differently, but if there is I've never found it. For whatever it's worth I participate in half a dozen other forums on other topics, and they are also of Modern style. Not expecting to change anyone's opinion: just to register mine.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
