I like to ask this once a year...

[dawgstudent]

Main thing is vbulletin 4 is not being developed any longer. Plus - there isn't a responsive theme for vbulletin 4. We have a "mobile view" but it takes away functionality.

[Dawg1979]

So i actually looked.

Threaded 100%

i hate topic view

 

[MaxwellSmart]

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

This^^

 

[dickiedawg]

I'll chime in. I use threaded view and like it.
That said, I read here, ED and 247 and don't really have any trouble adjusting to the various formats, so it's very possible the new features of VB5 offset that completely. I certainly wouldn't stop visiting.

In any view, though, it's often hard to tell to whom someone is replying unless they quote them. That's why I make a point of replying with quote, but I know that can clutter up a thread so if there are other ways around that I'm open to suggestions.

Quoting FTW.
It clears up who is responding to whom. As for cluttering up the board, just quote what is necessary and not the whole post. Keeps it more simplified.

 

[PhredPhantom]

I like it the way it is now. Please don't change it.

 

[HumpDawgy]

Threaded view is my preference.

 

[dawgstudent]

I'm all for options - that's why I love what we have now.

The only downside is that this version of vbulletin when it's mobile strips down some of the features. Also, as time goes on, it just won't be as secure since vbulletin will stop supporting it.

 

[BiscuitEater]

How do you change the view on an iPhone?

Many thanks!

 

[EurekaDog]

I prefer the threaded view... by a large margin! (NM)

adasdd

 

[LittleBigDog]

Threaded view for sure!

 

[dickiedawg]

just quote what is necessary and not the whole post.

This is fine and acceptable when I am posting from desktop (rarely) but is a bit more of a headache on mobile. I try to do it anyway.

 

[MeridianDog]

Threaded view for me.

Like it more.

 

[CoastDawg18]

I use topic view on mobile. Seems easier to me with the smaller screen. I have thread view on iPad. I would not care if it went to just topic view.

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

threaded view unless I'm on mobile.

 

[She Mate Me]

I typically access SPS on a computer or tablet and use threaded, but I leave the decision to the man doing the work. It's annoying people that disappear me from time to time, not the look of the place.

 

[woozman]

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

Same here...

 

[TheStateUofMS]

I like threaded view.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Prefer threaded view

 

[sandwolf.sixpack]

I like the threaded view.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

I'm not smart enough to know what View I use.

No kidding,

 

[PineGroveBully]

Agreed

 

[Klovis]

Topic on Computer

mobile on mobile

 

[PineGroveBully]

Whatever immissplatnium is good with I can live with

 

[mcdawg22]

I like the hybrid view.

 

[Dawg1976]

I like it as is.....

 

[RocketDawg]

I prefer threaded view. But I also agree that one should always quote, especially if using a phone, because they don't show up where they should when using a phone. If somebody puts a lot of pictures in their post, which is quite common, might want to edit before quoting though.

ED uses topic view and most of the time you can't tell who a post is responding to.

 

[1msucub]

Threaded, without question.

 

[GTAdawg]

I use threaded view on PC and mobile. I’m not going to say that if you changed the format option that I would quit reading, but it would cut down how many times I glance at the board throughout the week. Threaded view allows you to preview and track progression quickly. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

 

[Thirty-Two Dive]

I'm all about the Hybrid view...

 

[GTAdawg]

The only downside is that this version of vbulletin when it's mobile strips down some of the features. Also, as time goes on, it just won't be as secure since vbulletin will stop supporting it.

So what you’re saying is that it is inevitable at some point the permanent switch will have to be made.

 

[00dog]

Thread view for me

 

[klong-dog]

Topic guy here, I like to see less and can click on, if I want to read the topic. So much easier on the eyes, imo.

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Both views have their pros and cons...the threaded view allows you to see who posted and the nature of the responses (hi-jacked, bitching, etc) and the standard mobile view allows you to quickly bypass subjects that you are not interested in versus having to scroll pass a thread that gets out of control and occupies most of a page. I like both formats so it is six of one, half a dozen of the other for me.

 

[512taylor]

I prefer the thread.

 

[msudawg12]

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

This is what i do as well but wouldnt bother me either way

 

[dawgstudent]

That's correct.

 

[Dawgpile]

This. And with 247 and others using topic view, I have kinda “gotten over” the “must have” feeling for threaded view.

I've also bypassed my "need" for a threaded view.

 

[Southern Law Dawg]

Topic is my jam, on both mobile and PC.



I only signed up for Reddit this year because I hate threaded that much.
