Forum options

I don't know if maybe I am the only one, but it seems to take forever to navigate through the thread-style forums here. I do it, but it becomes quickly tiring.

I was wondering if there was some kind of option you could design that would show not just the title of the post/response but also the content.

A LOT of other forums and tech sites are using that approach, do you think maybe you could at least make it an option?

I agree, this style makes it hard to get through the larger threads and I tend to give up after the first 5 or 6.

Can you imagine what this site would look like if they used vBulletin or phpBB or some other popular message board software?

Rich developed the board format from scratch so....

You really ought to look at some of the phonescoop.com forums posts circa 2005

In a nutshell, I agree, and it's on the to-do list to address that issue.

I personally dislike certain aspects of how other forum and comment systems work. The challenge - as I see it - is to come up with something that keeps the advantages of our forum structure but makes it easier and faster to navigate a thread. I have ideas on how to do this, but it will take some time to implement properly. I apologize that it's taking so long to roll out (much longer than I had hoped.) It's still very much something I plan to do, though!

Thanks for the feedback. It's always appreciated! 🙂
