vb.org Archive - View Single Post - What display mode do you prefer? & showthread page sizes.

I had noticed that most of my users were switching to Linear. I used to use either Threaded or Hybrid myself, but have also switched to using Linear. Still, there are some things I miss about Threaded/Hybrid, most notably, the ability to quickly switch to a post in the list (Duh!) and to see what post a new post is replying to.

For this reason, and after talking to users, I am working on a new Display Mode, Linear List. This looks like Threaded, with the list at the top of the page, but the list is strictly linear.

Below the post list, where one sees "Prev" and "Next" in Threaded mode, there is also a link for viewing the post being replied.
