Trying to Find - lack of responses

Has everyone noticed that there is a definite lack of responses on the Trying to Find board since the style has been changed.

I found it easier before as you could skim the messages and what the searcher was looking for and identify if you could help by reading what they had put. Now you only see a few words of their message. I am sure, like me, people don't have the time to look at every posting.

I help those looking for living not genealogy and seeing the full posted message was much clearer than the 'forum' layout now. Prefer the old layout myself.
