Threaded? I didn't think anyone used Threaded mode anymore.

I do!… Sorry. I must be or .

I love the quick reply feature. I use HTML or UBBCode and know the tags by heart anyway, so I rarely have the need to go into the full reply screen.

I never understood the fascination with Threaded mode. To me it just adds a whole lot of unnecessary clicking to read a thread.

I'm a dedicated threaded-er. For me, flat just adds unnecessary scrolling and it's harder for me to get who's talking to who. Plus, with threaded, I can tell with one look what's new. Now granted, it screws with a good word association thread.

I thought this was a matter of personal preference. I didn't realize that I had to justify myself! But here goes:

• I can see the whole thread in one page and know where the unread posts are.
• I can follow the sub-threads without having to look for the replies to each particular post. This way I can read them all in order, as a unit.

Are you suggesting the option shouldn't exist? Do you have a 'flat threaded' mode? What's your option for my fascination?

And I'm one of those posters that just replies with quick reply in flat mode. Most of the time it's not the correct sub thread.

Sorry if I screw up the flow for the threaded people. Well not really.

Maybe Moderators can use HTML. Users can't.

But HTML is beside the point of my request on this sub-thread (I have already acknowledged the popularity of the "Quick Reply" box). The point is that the "Quick Reply" box be moved to the bottom of the threaded list. As you can read:


Would this be a problem for many of the supposedly 'few' that use that odd "Threaded Mode"?

The reason for my request appears in the original post:
My whole request thing now comes down to moving down the box or have an option to close it.

This request as other requests or suggestions I have made have —at the time of this posting— been ignored, not acknowledged and are unanswered. The decisions are yours.

This doesn't need to become an issue. It is what it is, not what it used to be. That can take a little getting used to, but ~ and please, no offense intended here ~ If we make a request and it's not implemented, it's nothing personal.

Unless they take away my threaded view.


Edit: I've never understood why peeps think a forum is a democracy. It's not. Which is good, otherwise we'd sink to mob rule on a regular basis and that would be really hard on the readership. Again, this ain't personal. Just my two centavos.

Uh, nobody said you had to justify why you like the threaded mode. Both MacGizmo and I just don't understand why people use it anymore. You could have easily ignored it (since it wasn't a question) or said "hey, because I like it that way".

And just because nobody has done what you requested doesn't mean anything. It could mean:

• 
  1. The developer of the software has to be involved to do it
  2. It's not a big request, and may mess up the other settings.
  3. It's on the list to do, just give them time
