do you still use the threaded view? Would it make you stop visiting if we only had topic view like 24/7?

We could upgrade to vbulletin5 which has a lot more features but I personally love the threaded view so that's why I am hesitant.

Personally I don't care. I use thread view on the computer and topic view on my phone. I'm good either way.

Yes, I use threaded view. How would you tell who was being replied to without threaded view? Would you just have to quote reply every time?

Forgot that I do use the topic view on mobile so I guess it wont matter to me. Should we give it a trial run?

I liked the threaded view in general, but the last two years I come here 95% on my cell & use the standard mobile arrangement.

I honestly don't know the difference or which view I use. I don't think it would matter to me either way though

I never use threaded view because I only view SPS on my phone now.

This board really needs to copy how secrant handles this. Not sure if possible in vBulletin. Would clear up who was replying where and tremendously cut down on quoted clutter....

Still use threaded view when not viewing on phone. Like being able to see new or interesting posts without scrolling the whole thread.

Threaded view for life. Even on my phone. Topic view is the worst

as long as it keeps the preview when your hold your mouse over a topic, i'm good. i like the current setup though if we are voting.

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen. There is a drop down box on the left side. It tells you what view you're in. Toggle between thread view, topic view, and default mobile view. Report back.

I use threaded view and prefer it. But it really depends on the device. If it's on a PC, then it's threaded. If it's on my phone, topic view is the only way the board is readable. A user has the option to view either way.

So based on that factor, I'd say leave good enough alone.

Prefer threaded but gotten used to topic because of mobile. Hate topic when original post isn't included because I can't figure out the reply tree...

Would be nice if the BBS would give you stats on % user configs set to thread/topic.

I am a big fan of the reply with quote button

Be blasphemy around here but the ED setup is easier to use and easier to read. Plus has a icon to show which topics you have posted in.

Just my opinion.

I generally like threaded view. What I'd like as part of that, though, is a few more reminders for people on how to reply. Sometimes there's a new reply that's obviously in reference to something already in the thread but it's sitting there like it's a response to the original post so you can't tell who they're replying to.

Also, FWIW, once I'm in a thread, I like the hybrid view.

I very much prefer threaded view. The new 24/7 boards that do not have the threaded view are still somewhat of an irritant to me. I will be regardless to the disappointment of many.

There is an icon here as well that shows which topics you’ve posted in. Little green backwards arrow

Threaded view on computer and ipad. No question.

I personally prefer the threaded view...by a large margin. Also, I wouldn't do anything that 247 is doing, especially since the merge with genespage. It's super hard to navigate and crappy videos pop up all over the place.

Not on my view with a macbook.

And just like now, replying with a quote and the sentence chops and moves up a line. Then you have to erase and go to that line or it keeps jumping back.

Threaded View all the way!

do you still use the threaded view?

I wish there was a way to view topics like Reddit comments. You can collapse whole side conversations or expand them. When posters go at each other on here, you could collapse the whole thing and just read the other posts.

If you get rid of threaded view, SPS is dead to me. Actually, it looks like I use hybrid mode, which is apparently pretty similar to threaded. I'll never understand why so many boards use topic view. It's an inferior format. I do use topic view on my phone.

Yes. I like and use the threaded view.

Plain old topic view sometimes doesn't make logical sense (even though I use it on my mobile unless I choose desktop view) and I often wonder who are people responding to when they use topical view.

Is there an option to do what secrant does and note who the user is responding to?

That helps me some in secrant.
