Re: What if ... [threaded vs linear]
Now that I know what the two are, I like linear...

Re: What if ... [threaded vs linear]
I would use the threaded mode, but like you (Brandon), it tends to not follow the flow correctly.

I'd don't care if it goes.

Re: What if ... [threaded vs linear]
O wow... I just tried threaded and heh... I cannot use it... I like to read them in order. And I just realized that there were those modes up there, along with the thread tools. I should really pay more attention. Thanks.

Re: What if ... [threaded vs linear]
I personally like the hybrid mode, because its much easier to see who replied to what reply, and you see everything in order too!

Re: What if ... [threaded vs linear]
I always use linear mode because I'm used to it and wouldn't care much if threaded disappeared. But I can see that some people might prefer it. After all, it (theoretically) keeps more organization to the forum threads, but on the other hand, when hybridized with linear as it is, it does tend to become gobbledygook. Do as you will, Master of the Server.

Re: What if ... [threaded vs linear]
As it is most places, people don't cooperate when using threaded and it gets sucky rather fast. I haven't used it in a while for that reason.

Re: What if ... [threaded vs linear]
I found threaded to be completely confusing so I stuck with linear and I can find what i want very easially

Me? I like threaded, but most users in the linear view reply to the thread and not indivual posts within the thread, causing weird branches to spawn out of the middle (usually the bottom of the first linear page) and make threaded a game of searching the thread for little weird branches that pop out.

So, I wouldn't mind if threaded went away, just because it would make things a tad easier. I wish threaded would work, but I just don't know if it's possible to have multiple modes and make them all work independently.

I hate threaded mode. Slashdot's threaded mode is the bane of my existence.

Long live linear.
