Default Why aren't threaded and Hybrid views available here?

Seems odd to me.

I'll leave this to Stefan. I'm not opposed to switching it on as even though Quick Reply is not set up for it, it still works in a manner.

I turned off both of those options on my forums as well because I didn't see a real need for them.

But... after seeing some threads go to 100+ pages (like the v3Arcade) it becomes evident that threaded views DO have value. I can scan the threads to see which ones interest me MUCH faster than reading through 100+ pages of replies.

I'm still not sure I'll turn them on for my forums, partly because most of the replies aren't threaded now and partly because most threads don't get that long... but I can see a case for using them here.

If it is such an awful feature that a.) nobody uses it, and b.) everybody turns it off so that nobody can use it, then why bother even putting the code into the software in the first place?

Threading was one of two main reasons that the folks I work with chose vBulletin. Since then, I have had several owners of other software tell me that, had they realized threading was a standard feature, they would have chosen vBulletin over the software they chose.

Of the 5 or so vB-based forums I frequent, here and vB.com are the only two that deny me the choice of using one of the threaded modes.

Seems odd.

I would have to say the greater majority of forums do not make an overuse of the feature.

vb.com uses the threaded system

but during those experiences it was obvious, that linear and threaded mode doesn't work together too good, so you have to enable just one of the modes, and as i prefere linear mode, it will stay so

it's just too confusing to enable threaded mode as well.

It's the same reason we have chocolate and vanilla ice cream -- some people prefer one over the other, some people prefer both, but they both have their use.

Personally, I don't care for threaded mode, never have. But that's just me. I guess it has a use in larger boards. However, none of the boards I frequent happen to use it or at least promote it. *shrugs*

Im not a fan of it either though it was smart for jelsoft to include it. That just killed ubbthreads or whatever name they are going by now since it gave even that small base the reason they needed to switch.
