tree style discussion / tree structure forum
[spinning off this idea from Why is editing/deleting old comments enabled?]
do we want a tree-styled forum
Quoting mace(For people who can read Dutch (or like to see what I mean without understanding what is said on the page): something like the frontpage of http://www.tweakers.net (click a news item to see what I mean))
see http://www.heise.de ( any older news entry, then 'Kommentare lesen') for another kind of tree-style discussion.
or do we want to continue it as flat like it is at the moment?
what's your opinion about it? |

I prefer the linear style we have now. I think it gets really cluttered and hard to navigate with the tree style, where you have to go around expanding and clicking to read all comments.

we could have/keep the flat-view-mode as well
at the moment it's even more cluttered when someone replies to a post added a few posts earlier and such
with an additional tree-view-mode you can achive a little bit of order... |

problem with trees are people tend to answer the wrong branch, which just makes the whole tree idea useless.
but feel free to go hug a tree if you like ;-)

I never understood tree style threads. especially those where you have to open the branches yourselves. its horrible. worse than adobe acrobat reader. and I hate that a lot. (its latest stunt is to remap .d64s to itself, and then complain that it cannot open them, rerouting to vice is impossible, just lovely) |

Offtopic: if you really hate acrobat reader, why not try foxit reader? It's free, it's small, it's fast, it's foxit reader!
