Possible Forum Changes, Opinions Sought
Ok, it looks like Drupal 4.7 should be released soon. I've been waiting for it to do some of the changes to the site I'd been planning. I know we've discussed the whole threaded vs unthreaded thing in the forums. Unthreaded is more standard, and makes it easier to see what's new. Threaded makes it easy to see what's a reply to what. Both have advantages. Both have disadvantages. Some sites us unthreaded (most bulletin board and forum sites). Some use threaded (Slashdot and other slashcode-based sites, kuro5hin, etc).
I was actually thinking of splitting the difference... a la Digg... in terms of the way comments (aka responses to forum topics) are displayed. So, each of the top-level comments would be a reply to the original post... but each reply to those would just be an unthreaded list.
