Just curious. Thanks-

Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12338 Loc: Sterling, VA	I've always viewed it in flat. There used to be a large contingent of users who swore by threaded, and I'm pretty sure there are still a few. But like Bitt, I always reply to the appropriate post. _________________________ Matt

andy carpal tunnel Registered: 10/06/1999 Posts: 5916 Loc: Wivenhoe, Essex, UK	Flat mode, but I really don't know why. On the other bbs that I use every single day I would never use anything other than threaded mode. I'm also one of the people who complain when flat earthers reply to the wrong message. I really have no idea why I use flat mode here. _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

andy carpal tunnel Registered: 10/06/1999 Posts: 5916 Loc: Wivenhoe, Essex, UK	Just turned threaded mode on briefly. I now remember why I don't use it here, it is no good at keeping track and showing me which posts in a thread I've read. Back to flat mode _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

gbeer carpal tunnel Registered: 17/12/2000 Posts: 2665 Loc: Manteca, California	flat = chronological Read in flat mode, this board reads as an open conversation. The conversation might drift but it stays in sequence. Threaded mode, when it skips over parts of the stream, becomes confusing. I don't know of any BBS I read in threaded mode. _________________________ Glenn
