New format, dislike.....

As a suggestion, I think the user interface of Gmail on an iPhone is the most natural and intuitive.  If you pull down the scroll and there is no more messages, it uses that tug as a signal to go get more messages if there are any.  I find the transition on AudioGon from Recent to All to be awkward.  Why not detect that the user is trying to look beyond what is currently displayed on the thread and go get the previous 12 hours of the thread if there's more to be seen?  That way there is no awkward buttons to click, that then dumps everything and you have to reposition.  For example, I originally ask for the last 24 hours, then start reading a thread. I see that the oldest entry is referring to an earlier entry that I'm curious about, so I do the tug (pull down) and the next (older) block is fetched and displayed.

New format is finally now looking good or even better than old.

I dislike all the necessary scrolling.

I really like the last response date/time they added on the My Discussions page.  I don't have to look at every discussion to see if there's anything new.

Thanks Audiogon!
