Why not Threaded?? Scoop is a great idea afterall!

[Joseph Fung]

Jeff's right though - it's not hard.  It's just unwanted.

[Dave Smulders]

Exactly.....building it is easy. It will just give trouble using it.

[Michael]

It's almost impossible to integrate the two into one BB.

Exactly.....building it is easy.

Heh, does anyone else see a contradiction here? Anyways, I'll agree with Dave that usability may be an issue. I like flat better anyways, so why am I arguing?

[Spaceman-Spiff]

maybe what he meant was "It's almost impossible to integrate the two into one BB without having any trouble when using it."  

[Dave Smulders]

Michael, read the post again....there's no contradiction. There are 3 paragraphs explaining the sentence you quoted.

[Michael]

Right, 'pologies, I misread it several times. I was taking what you said as meaning that there would be code difficulties. Spaceman-spiff's explanation was a good slap upside the head for me.

[Shoeb Omar]

meh, threaded sucks

[Dave Smulders]

Thought you were gone?

Changed your mind already....or was it just a cry for attention ?

[Jeff Lewis]

Hehe welcome back!

I was confused as to whom this message was addressed.. to me or somebody else.. [sign] if there had been a threaded mode option, I would have referred to the threads to find out exactly to whom and which message were you replying thus [/sign]

Seems you Guys have all had real bad experiences with Threads.. no pun intended.. I think the issue is almost settled..  No Threads

[Joseph Fung]

To anyone who is familiar with the community - it was clear that it was addressed to Omario.

If you're not familiar with the community, it *still* wouldn't make sense even if you understood Dave.

Had Dave intended for this to be a comment that everyone should understand, I'm sure he would have either quoted Omario, or used his name.

[Jeff Lewis]

Heh yes it was towards Omario

As for threaded bad experiences...it's not that really.  I mean I do find it very annoying but I went from those types of forums to flat mode which I found much more organized and more pleasing to my eye.

I wince when I visit threaded forums these days  It's just personal preference

In a flat-view I think it's not more than normal that you quote when replying to a certain message that is further back in the discussion, and you don't, when it's a reply to the message just in front of it.

Anyways, believe me, I myself would not be against implementing the threaded view if there was a good solution for the problem described.  I wouldn't use it anyways, but as some people prefer it, it might be a neat feature to chose in your profile.

That's what I was saying from the beginning, but as you said, it would present the confusion problem. If it were to be implemented, the best thing would be an overall admin on/off and then profile-selectable threaded/flat.

Personal in the sense that tens of thousands of people that use forums powered by YaBB (Gold and SE) haven't complained
