I would like vBulletin to have a threaded mode as well.

I think that a true threaded view is a good thing. Although some threads are merely a lot of replies to the original poster, many others evolve into quite a long conversation with, well, many different threads. Having a threaded view will help people traverse these children topics rather than each poster needing to quote the other person in order to carry over the context of the conversation.

Threaded mode need not involve separate pages for each message. Check out <http://www.dslreports.com/comments/1050> for an example of a threaded forum that shows all of the messages in one page...

hi

yes please, i DO suggest this feature to be implemented in next release!

thanks

I was never a fan of threaded topic forums, until akiy posted the link to dlsreports.com. I really like how they have done there threaded response and i would use this type of layout in my forums :)

Theraded is a must for my users

My suggestion originally (on vB's support forum) was for an additional button function to be put on each post in a thread that would allow jumping to the previous or next reply, so you could just click on "See Original" or something to trace back.

This would probably have to be done after a major vB version (3.x) had already moved to a threaded structure. The bonus is that you could still have flat views, but still be able to navigate replies. It's the threaded structure that's important (to me?), not the mere view or display method.

Maybe this could be a hack once a Threaded-vB was created.

That site is a porn site. Couldn't find a forum there...
