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

Gerry,

IF you are using "Threaded Mode", the it is very easy to see who is responding to whom, unless of course the replier clicks on the wrong post to reply to. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> That's one of the advantages of using Threaded Mode over the Flat Mode. However, in Flat Mode, on the post "header" the post/person who is being replied to is displayed.

Threaded Mode used to have the "re:username" displayed as well, but the developers somehow forgot to include this little string in the code. There was a "hack" to add it back in, but after inserting it there was a problem; some kind of incompatibility. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes2.gif" alt="" /> Perhaps I'll try and get on someone's nerves so that they correct the error! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" />

I'm curious about this statement! It should be that any new posts are still "color coded" or "labeled" as new until you read them. Is this not the case? Again, in Threaded Mode, the row will be a different color to indicate that they are new. In Flat Mode, the word "new" will be displayed in each message's header. Also, if you click on the little icon next to "The Highway Discussion Board" (it looks like a globe), you will get two very useful menus, which may be something you might want to avail yourself of? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> (see the screenshot below or click the "attachment" link above for a larger view)

In the meanwhile, I am constantly trying to improve the Board to meet the needs of all the members here. It's these type of complaints which help me tremendously. In most cases I can effect the change(s) desired. But there are some which are beyond my capabilities or not feasible to implement. Soooooo, keep those cards and letters coming, folks. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
