Thanks for fueling my growing hatred against the latest flat-design trend epidemic.
How do i at least turn on threaded view, so i can read things like in a normal comment-system?
This probably isn’t the right place to ask, but using this …thing, is like feeling my way in a blizzard of white-space and unorganized content.
I have been looking for this one setting, or somewhere to look it up, or somewhere to look up how to look things up here, now for an hour, and i feel sick.
If you mean the normal linear view, that’s the default. A few people have complained about things being jumbled up, perhaps because they follow the Reply links, but I just ignore those, personally.
I was going to comment about the topic, but got sidelined for a hour trying to get this MF POS ¤%&%# comment.-system in some resemblance of a useful state.
Can someone for the love of Pesci, please tell me how i can get it to at least display all the comments in a normal threaded view, like every other functioning comment-system on the planet, so i don’t have to “unfold” one meelion divs on every page, and then have one meelion copies of every comment spread out in a blizzard of white-space.
There was a post showing this exact same problem, with screen-grab.
Its somewhere up there points, in the colossal enormous unlnikable infinite scroll.
Answers to answers to answers, form a hierachy.
Dispalying tht “flat”, is useless to me.
I want threads, and i dont want the same content in several copies, spread put all over the page.
Yes, that’s not very intuitive, but it means “create a new forum thread that refers back to this one”. Say, when you want to start a new topic that might tangential to the current one but deserves its own thread.
We haven’t had threaded views on the forums for a long time, if at all, as far as I’m aware … I’ve been around since 2006 and I don’t remember anything other than a flat structure (although that could be fading memory).
The #postnumber on the right of each post gives a permalink to that particular post. I know it’s not completely intuitive, but it’s a fairly common tactic IMX.
I’ve been around since 1998 (before SitePoint was SitePoint), and we’ve never had threaded forums. Started with UBB (I think…mighta been UltraBoard but don’t think so), then we went to vBulletin in 1999, then we moved here to Discourse this year.
