I'm changing. I'm outta wine, so gin and tonic it is for the rest of the evening to watch the vote returns! <br><br><br><br>

don't you mean "collapsed"? (doesn't "threaded" only apply within a thread, here?)<br>i mean there is no threaded or flat choice for the indices., yes?)<br><br>now i'm wonderig if that thread over in the lounge is being described correctly by everyone replyng --either in my mind or theirs. <br><br>?<br><br>[color:green]ichi</font color=green><br><br>"[color:red]in times of peace, the warlike man attacks himself.</font color=red>"<br><br><br>libertarian communist ~ ichi youtube<br>

is this post relayed to wwwthreads?<br><br>wwwthreads/ubbthreads software info. (see the first reply, from Ian... later rick's chimes in. there is also a reply from another dev saying they may be willing to add what i want (expand/collapse indices) back in --if they did it would be the best out there, considering, imo, that cool gallery feature and all else new. --i can't "live" or it's exceedingly difficult to without expand <br>/collapse. (bumping suxorz, i want to get up in t moring or whever i check in and ee the new stuff not sone lame reply to a lengthy thread constantly presented in my face amd throwing off where everything *is* makiig it very difficult to find,a nd i'll never use email functions --date stamps are there should therfore be more useful, i'd rather chose to follow a "thread" rather a than a "reply"; bumpming removes those particlular choices from the user's capability).<br><br>[color:green]ichi</font color=green><br><br>"[color:red]in times of peace, the warlike man attacks himself.</font color=red>"<br><br><br>libertarian communist ~ ichi youtube<br><P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by ichi on 01/09/08 05:53 AM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

unfortunately(?), turning off bumping is an admin only decision really, imho. <br><br>i mean, too many ppl like to see themselves bumped to the top (see motivation... the last line of that section indicates something thay can be easily accomplished --like image posting or any other user included linkage-- by linking the related thread or post in threaded mode). <br><br>just human behavior --i mean, too much to accomplish any type of vote. no, it seems to me it relies on the whether the owner/admin/mod is one of those, so to speak?<br><br>note: i'm not criticizing that particular human behavior (though i would . i am criticizing the usabilty of bumpage. i DO think it IS useful in helpdesk only type forums, like apple's discussions (which offers no expand/collapse indices becaue thes older vers softs are the only ones that do which is why they are KING, imnsho --and why i want a copy to have around... i have a really old perl one . i can go to apple discusiion or here at mm and dig up as many old wuestions or threads as i want and get them all to the top real quick. <br><br>[color:green]ichi</font color=green><br><br>"[color:red]in times of peace, the warlike man attacks himself.</font color=red>"<br><br><br>libertarian communist ~ ichi youtube<br>

You can view the whole forum index "expanded" as well. I consider "threaded" anywhere I can see the hierarchy of the posts. <br><br><br>zweisoft<br>

We've been pretty happy with thread bumping here. With a few exceptions (usually in good fun) nobody has taken advantage of it (that I know of).<br><br>The Graphic Mac for your Mac and graphics news, tips and more.

i forgot to mention... using that "negative effect" (cmnd opt ctrl 8) causes cursor to change in and out at various placements, desktop has to be very light --to become dark, and, videos, images, and art are all inverted... screensavers. it's not really meant just for thise who a tiny bit of help.<br><br>it's type (reading words) that needs a choice.<br><br>[color:green]ichi</font color=green><br><br>"[color:red]in times of peace, the warlike man attacks himself.</font color=red>"<br><br><br>libertarian communist ~ ichi youtube<br>

yeah i know, and alot ppl really like it.<br><br>but lookng ay the 3 forums, itls the same old crap (mine included) all the time. i want brnd new posts/new therad starts at the top, not old threads.<br><br>plus there just ain't no order to it. may as well almost not have dates. bumoing is for no decent effect in a non helpdesk forum; it's for ppl looking at the page 24/7 or helpodesk repsonses.<br><br>it's like being a room full of friends or co-workers and walking from various conversations --you can see where they are and who's involved, but every time you look back somebody's blocking your view --like at a ballpark up down up down blocking those behind youse view. gete outa my way, SIT DOWN. you have your seat, i have mine, RESPECT. damn. it's fsck'd. <br><br>ok, i'm done. I HATE IT. yes i know the only option, leave. thism ones uo to an admin, a vote would never get it done. i was also so GLAD that JD buming would NEVER be enabled at mcf. i guess i need to ween myself anyway, one dat soon i hope, once i get some cashola and hit the road --this year i hope, soon.<br><br>p,s. i said i woud not bring it uo agaiun and ai won't, but if someone else does all bets are off. :)<br><br><br>[color:green]ichi</font color=green><br><br>"[color:red]in times of peace, the warlike man attacks himself.</font color=red>"<br><br><br>libertarian communist ~ ichi youtube<br>

Not going to happen. Get used to how this board is, it won't change any time soon.<br><br>
