Discussion / Comment View Styles

Ed,

I totally agree with you, and before Threaded was disabled, would switch back and forth. I also filed requests to allow the view to be easily toggled, rather than a global setting in Preferences - a "big-button" switch, if you will.

I spend time on several other forums, and most offer a useful version of a Threaded view. I would love to see Jive go to something similar.

On the Adobe Forums, there are extra features, available with Flattened View, like Reply #'s, which are very important when pointing a poster to the exact Reply, that addressed their question. In the old Threaded View, there were no Reply #'s, but at least one could easily see to whom the Reply was being made - though one CAN look at the header of a Reply to find out that info. Unfortunately, one often has to do some major scrolling, to see which of that person's Replies was being Replied to.

I have come to accept the Flattened only View, and just scroll about, to find the real context. A single toggle button would be better (or a really good Threaded View to begin with), but that seems to be out of the question now.
