Hey Everyone,

In wwwthreads (www.wwwthreads.org) replies under the original message can be listed in what they call expanded or collapsed. It lets you view expanded or threaded in both the forum listing and under each message:

take a look at expanded here:
http://www.wwwthreads.com/perl/postl...=expanded&sb=5

use the + and - to expand/collapse

If it doesnt exist can someone make it?

Thanks,
Will

I could be wrong, but couldn't this be done through templates?

not in the way he(she?) wants.

they want a true threaded mode where the posts show up under the one you're replying to, rather than straight inline.

yeah, it's on the todo list.

But why want threaded? I always found it confusing and messy.

<canned threadhead response>
It's too hard to tell who is responding to what in flat mode

I've personally never been too fond of threaded view, it seems to cluttered to me, and I see people read all the replies, and then post a reply to the last one in the thread, when they meant to reply to the original thread.

I don't find flat confusing at all, as usually most respones are to the originator, and when they aren't they either have quotes from someone else, or the person states who they are talking to.

But thats just my opinion...

Because in some cases its easier to understand. Where users reply to other users in the middle. But in wwwthreads its a user profile option, so you can decide what you like yourself.

most other forums have this - phorums etc.

anyone else want to give this a go? Is John's todo list published somewhere?

Thanks... I think vbulletin and this community is very promising!

Will

I know some webmasters who prefer threaded view because it provides many more page hits, and therefor more banner advertising exposures. In my experience users generally prefer the flat mode because they don't have to keep "clicking" around to read the next response.

I would vote that if this is on the list that it goes way down to the bottom.
