WHY? WHY?! WHY???!!!
The original forum was perfect for me. Who's idea to use this new design?! What's the point to come out something like this?
This new one is too complicate, too hard to use. OK, enough complains, I just want to do some simple jobs which is available in the old format.
1. How can I search all my posts in RTC forum? Listed by latest posts first.
2. Is the old archive or format still available?
Thanks

Hi Jirong, I will try to answer each of your four questions:
>> Who's idea to use this new design?!
It was my idea to use this new design ;-)
>> What's the point to come out something like this?
The point is because no one could find answers in the old forum. This new forum is infinitely better for eliciting and finding answers.
>> How can I search all my posts in RTC forum? Listed by latest posts first?

>> Is the old archive or format still available.
All the data has been migrated to this new format, but the old format is not available.
Once you see how easily it is for me to define my answer, get votes up and down, for you to mark my answer as correct, I think you may see that this forum is much better than old one. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm sorry that you're having trouble using the new forum. Our main goals in switching to a Q&A model were to allow users to identify (a) which questions have been answered, and (b) which responses contain the correct answer and valuable information.
2. The old format is no longer available.
If you have any suggestions about how we can improve the forum or make it easier to use, feel free to open a work item.
I can't answer your question about why the change was made, but I can answer your two specific questions.
2. No, the old format is not publicly available.
