Hi Visvanath
I was not aware I was being sentimental. Here are some thing that I preferred about 1.6/1.8
I could click on the course page to edit, hide, delete resources without having to click first on a drop down menu. When you are changing a lot of things every click counts.
I could edit tests from the test pages rather than returning to the course page and then clicking on that drop down menu. This is strange. Why is there no edit button on the test pages too?
The test edit screen would take me to the edit/add questions and random questions screen since I think their are very few situations where one would want to go anywhere else.
I could tailor which test options were visible (perhaps this is still possible, I am not longer an administrator).
There was no button allowing students to return to the test once one they had left it. This is a big headache since i use one time play videos to give my students English conversation teaching practice. Now they can go back to the test page and replay. I have to use the logs to see whether they did this or not.
There is a long scroll down to the test Save edit button. (I wish there buttons to save at top and bottom. )
I have to click on a button to display the full set of buttons on the text editor. Perhaps this is settable.
I have to choose "GIFT" each time I import rather than have this setting remembered by a drop down.
The import screen takes me to the questions screen rather than remaining on import (I generally want to import a few times)
The import destination requires opening a sort of tab thing when I think one would always want to decide upon where one is importing too.
The import defaults to a category that Moodle creates for me that I do not want.
The adding questions screen and adding random questions screen were all one one page, whereas now they are not.
The lack of the ability to change dates by a set amount (e.g. a year) on the reports>date page.
There are usually holidays so the ability to move all the dates below X forward by 7 days (I used to select the check marks and then use a
Firefox plugin to "check them all" and then use the course date manager to change dates relative to their current setting by a settable amount).
What I like
The resource and activity drag and drop functionality so I can reorder things (but I had a plug in to do that).
The ability to have student marked assignments. This is very good.
