But one thing I noticed was the postings are upside-down with the newest at the top....I hate that format. I've tried to follow other forums that use that style and it's impossible. 
 

 
Yes, I couldn't get to grips with that at all. Like trying to read a book where the first paragraph is at the bottom of the last page.

( edited to be more constructive in my choice of language. )
 
I've run across that type of forum before and it's (originally I said "totally stupid"). not a user friendly format. 
              
I find the format of this original forum the most common. 
 
If anything is a fault with this forum it's they have taken up half the page with stickies so a thread can disappear to page 2 pretty quickly and not get noticed. This is very annoying when using a mobile device,  I never look at the stickies, to me they are like the adds in a sidebar.
 
Which is another thing I noticed about the Bakery-- adds in a side bar - (-Booo... please ignore I didn't mean to be rude) 
 

I'd rather the resources be put into fixing issues with Sonar than designing a new system. The VU Tick Marks coloring for the gel meters has been broken for several months now. I guess it's not a big issue for Cakewalk or other people since it seems like they'd have fixed it by now, but it matters to me. I've been using orange meters along with black tick marks for years. I hate that I can't do it now. And, it's something that seems so simple to me. Instead of changing the system, fix the one you have. Problem is filed as CWBRN-53742.
 
Also, it doesn't thrill me that my feature request of adding note names to MIDI notes in the piano roll didn't make the transfer. It's a feature that's available in C-----, R-----, and S----- ---, but not in Sonar. It makes my life a lot easier, and speeds up my workflow. I didn't know what I was missing until I used hosts with it, but now it's fundamental to me. I won't even get into how much the piano roll needs to be redesigned. 
 
It's been two decades and five months of using using Cakewalk programs. There are things I love about it, but I feel like it's time to move on, and I wish I didn't feel that way.

You can find it on your start screen It looks like a cupcake. Its a direct portal to it.

I  have my start screen open and there's no cupcake or portal, yet, and I'm up to date.  However, I do see that my notification is out of date; it's telling me that the 2016.10 update is available, yet, I already have that version.

I am a bit "cooled down" after the first "shoke"...
 
1. Why should I scroll down to see the top menu?
2. ... which I barely can read on my notebook, even when it is there.
3. I have to turn my head to look at stats and who has opened the discussion, and my screen is not even 27''
4. No "Visited" indication. Have I already seen that? Are there new answers?
5. Google not yet knows it, tags are not yet there
6. (the first question in my own thread... but ignored by everyone...) by rules, in "Answers" can be no discussions. Who is answering then?

How is this polite and constructive?

What does this have to do with the Bakery?

That was. I have mentioned in the other thread that I was asked to work with such type of "forum". The feeling was the same (may be not polite, but constructive).
 
BTW your 3 statements are may be polite, but where is the "constructivity"?

The "constructivity" as you put it is in the hope that the OP will realize there is nothing useful in name calling or applying negative terms to something without explanation. What does one learn from when something is described as "totally stupid?" What is "Booo" about a side-bar?
 
So far, there is so little to be learned from the threads about the Bakery, it make me wonder why they should be allowed in an area intended for discussion about how to use SONAR or even exist at all.
 

Sorry I started this, The other thread went sideways and now I see how this happens. Now I wish there was a delete the whole thread button :)   
 
I edited my comments to please all. I wish no negative vibes on this forum directed at me or anybody.

Constructive like that?
