The worst thing with them is nobody knows how to use them and people just tend to click "REPLY" button regardless of their location in the thread. So thread order is always ruined in these threads. You click a so-looking reply to X and it has nothing to do with that message, just replies somebody else etc.

Agreed. While users may like being able to use different views, its becomes more usefull IMO when the board uses only one method, that way threads shown in "threaded view" are more likly to be "threaded" as people are going to be replying to the post they wish to repspond to and not just the last post in a thread. Also every other post seems to contain a full quote of the post its replying to, although this is probably a style issue.
