There's linear mode, hybrid and threaded. Play about with it!


So, will you stick with the normal way, or use the new ones?

I like that part. Now I know when someone doesn't answer my posts 'cause they know I've won a debate.:).

Wait a minute, I won a debate once? :confused::D

I think I'll use hybrid mode for a while, see how that works out.

GM has that function too. You appear on the list in order of activity. Since you just loaded the thread, you'll always be first on the list as you see it(well, most of the time). To everyone else, you might be in the middle or at the end, depends how often you reload the thread.

im going to try hybrid for a while too. it seems like it should be a help but with it being out of time order it might lose posts in long threads.... right?

Yeah, this threads within a thread thing is odd.

Wow, this brings back memories of the pre-Jolt days... I remember when we'd get excited when we saw that peculiar orange name within the forum viewers notifying everyone that [violet] was around.

And my name was green because I was a mod. And had a capital S at the beginning. My lower-class billing bugs me sometimes.

I say a mix of old and new. At least they have the :D smiley. That's my favorite. Oh, and :gundge: too.

Also, does anyone notice the "Currently viewing this thread" thing down below?

There was a red name here earlier on. I almost asploded.

We hates the stupid gundge, and doesn't like the "spying on" function much either... http://www.fuckedgaijin.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_suspect.gif

(That I'm having to go to another forum to get decent smilies speaks volumes. Listen up OMAC!)

Yeah, I like that. My old system of keeping a row of tabs open with the pages of posters I was interested in (whether they'd still be participating in the thread or not, that kind of thing - pervs!) was rather tiresome, and got downright nasty when the new pages show who's visited the page last.

Though of course I herewith officially protest the massive loss of anonymity and privacy we gradually suffered these last weeks.

That's a brain dead way of doing threaded posts, it really is.

On the current balance, probably linear.

"Default" should be a poll option, imo.

BUT the poll does not say that. *tsk*

It's kind of creepy. The General main page says, right now, that there are 91 people altogether on this forum: 48 members and 43 guests. That means there are 43 people reading what I write and I have no idea who they are.
