Question
Just one question about basic performance
Will the free flow of unified threads be retained, with successive posts filling the entire width, and with simple forum lists of threads, or:
A) Are we going to be put in boxes with forum member information to the left and possibly buttons to the left/right/bottom, so the flow is broken up and takes up far more space?
B) Will the threads be branched, so everything may become fragmented, and so subjects deserving their own threads will be buried deep?
C) Will the forum lists of threads be furnished with dividing lines and possibly arranged by subject rather than latest posts?
I believe those are the most fundamental question about the new forum; most other issues can be solved within the right frame, if needed.
Several times, strong pleas for mercy have been raised concerning threats A) - C).
It is so nice to easily find and pick a thread with new posts in the forum list, and then to run/read through and partake in a coherent and focused thread of successive posts, without things fading away in different directions, without the disturbance of having to cross unnecessary lines and perform unnecessary scrolling because of disturbing information, which might as well be reached by clicking the poster name or some popup button next to it in the line containing the poster name and time of posting.
