The Highway Forums Resources HELP Forum How do you handle long threads?

John,

I feel your pain! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" /> In Threaded Mode, all new replies are color-coded (see the bottom of the page), so they are easily found. As to the difficulty finding the last post you read, well.... it can be found, but admittedly it is difficult to see. Generally, the text will be a different color than all the others. But, it is not so easy to see, IMHO. In fact, this was something I was trying to improve over the past two days but without success. Some of the stylesheets will be better than others in this regard. So, you might try another stylesheet which is similar to the one you are using now but renders the text for the subject of the post you are currently viewing differently and more easily seen. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />

I can tell you that there may be a nice improvement coming with the next upgrade. There might be a third option to view threads called, "Nested", which some other Board's software use already. You get the best of both worlds as the threaded view is retained but the posts are all displayed at the same time. No promises, but it is under serious consideration right now by the developers. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

In His Grace,
