I appreciate the reply, Freddie. But it sounds like your timetable is a bit too fuzzy for me.

I've owned this license for eight months, and haven't rolled it out for other than "experimental" use -- owing to this overwhelming feeling about the "threaded" view from my members.

I'd sure hate to invest in a custom hack of this nature, only to see it rolled into the *standard* vBulletin release immediately thereafter.

But if all you can say is that you'll be "looking into" threaded views at some undetermined future date . . .

Well, I'm not sure where that leaves me.

If it's likely to be a year or more before y'all "look into" this matter (and how much after that before anything is executed), I think I should go forward with hiring it on my own, wouldn't you say?

Would still like to meet programmers interested in this hack to discuss the project.
