    This change has really ruined daily work flow for my team. We have a chat channel for incoming updates we have to handle throughout the day. Easily typing in to create a new message with no click in was a BETTER "User Experience".

    Further, when clicking on "Activity" and the new comment made, previously it would locate me into that channel and the comment made. NOW it puts me only in a tunnel view of that particular "post" conversation. This is a PAIN as we have a living thread of conversation and you are placing me into a tunnel with blinders on I have to click the button "go to channel" in the upper right hand corner.

    MORE CLICKS is not a "Better User Experience". Putting people into a a view of only a particular reply/topic is not a "Better User Experience". You have eliminated flow and caused segmentation of everything.

    Your decision to remove "New Conversation" button and replace it with "Start a Post" makes my job 10 times more inefficient as I use this function quite often throughout the day. Now I must give a subject and then a note. We use the channel tittle as the subject and the responses are updates. We need an option to change it back.

    Agreed Jim. On top of it putting you directly into the "post" when you either click on the alert icon, or if you need to expand the "post" within the channel. I am pretty sure it used to allow you to expand the "conversation" in the channel, and click on the alert and be brought to the "conversation" in the channel.

    I don't know who thought it was a good idea to fundamentally change the way all "chat" systems have worked for decades. If I wanted to use a chat that acts like it does now with "posts". I would just create separate emails for everything.

    I agree with AnonymousOZ This change has caused much angst and do not like the actions it performs. Old version was MUCH better.

    This update is not very user-friendly, are there plans to revert this unneeded horrible change?
