  • Switch back to flat

  • Add back numbers to comments
  • Add “reply” and “quote” buttons underneath each comment that will jump to the comment box and auto-fill it with HTML linking to / quoting the comment in question (similar to how the forums work—see this page for a demonstration)

Anybody still reading this thread and care to give me some feedback on this plan?

Oh, and the people who are complaining that they can’t figure out where the new posts are, look at the yellow boxes.

This only works if you consistently use the same machine for accessing Seattlebubble. If you switch PCs frequently all this history as to which posts you had previously seen is lost.

I like the threaded so that I can jump to the most recent comment and quickly figure out who they are responding to. In the old way, I used to jump to the latest comment and spend 5-10 minutes trying to trace my way backwards in the conversation before I could figure out what they are talking about.

That way we would have a single place for our conversations, in an engine designed to make it easy for historical referencing.

I like the comments to be linear. The numbers were helpful for leaving the site and then picking up where you left off. It also seemed pretty straightforward to direct your comments at a specific thread #.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('64977','singliac',''); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('64977','singliac','I concur.

When I get a chance, I'm afraid I'll have to vote for the old way flat style. It's just too hard to keep up with the new posts since my last visit inthe threaded style. The colored block helps, but it seems to be tied to the computer instead of the login, so all the posts I read on my work computer are marked as unread again when I get home. But even if it was accurate, I'd still have to scan the whole string of comments to look for new ones. With the flat style, I just have to find the last one I read previously then start reading down the page.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('64976','Lake Hills Renter',''); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('64976','Lake Hills Renter','The sidebar poll is still the old one for me, so I can\'t vote...\r\n\r\nWhen I get a chance, I\'m afraid I\'ll have to vote for the old way flat style.
