NIJamesHughes Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Is there any way that we could reply to the individual posts, instead of just anding to the list? I was looking for a way to thread the posts, but i couldn't find one.. Have you ever considered this? Thanks! James Hughes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 If you mean a threaded newsgroup-style format, yes, I've thought of it, and it's coming in a forum update next month. However, I don't see the need for it. If you want to reply to a specific post, you can quote it in your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_feldblum Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Personally, I prefer this flat style to a newsgroup style bbs. It makes conversations easier to follow. However, a good compromise (not really a compromise, though) is to use the Yahoo! style - each post will have a "reply to this" button, say, and each post will have a note at the bottom saying "in reply to post #XX"; the default view will still be flat, in chronological order of posts, but the user has the option of viewing the forum as a tree of subject-line links. (That of course would necessitate adding a subject line.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
