I am toying with the idea to actually make threads be displayed threaded.
I am fairly new to vbulletin. But, thinking outloud, I do not foresee huge trouble storing a message-id field to each new post, and, just like with a true threaded reader, display replies indented relative to the parent post.
All that would be required is one extra MySQL query per thread to preload all message-ids, so they can then be displayed in threaded order. Plus, I would need to make some changes to the code that tells you when a user has replied to your thread (and really to YOUR post, and not just to every one in the global thread).
Unless I am overseeing something drastic, this idea does not seem overly undoable.
I would appreciate some feedback on the possibility/desireability to do this. If many pepple want it, I will make it.
