Where do I post a suggestion for a tech issue on 2+2?

[radek2166]

I think it would be nice if we could click on the date/ time row of a topic to have it sorted by date and time.

It is driving me nuts to have to go to flat mode to follow a topic.

Where should I post this?

why not just use default flat view?

the forum "change" (im not going to call it an upgrade) also has that annoying feature where if you click on a thread topic it takes you to the first unread post, and then marks all the others as read. grrr

Long story.

It still sucks

You can set the flat view to display X posts per page. Just make it a low enough number that it doesn't take forever to load.

Anyone try flat mode with only 1 response per page(if possible) to deal with whatever issue the non-flat mode guys are having?

Tony and others have already mentioned throttling down the number of posts per page in flat mode, but even at 20 posts per page, the HTML for this page is only about twice as much (68kB) as the HTML for the top post in threaded mode (36kB).

But the images and so on add a lot more than that.

If you use Firefox you can turn images off entirely. With Opera, you can select a mode that shows placeholders, and then you can selectively load images if you want them.

Why do people not understand flat view is a pain and slow in a long thread???

It's explained here. (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=0&Board=exchange&Number=38316 61&Searchpage=4&Main=3831661&Words=RacersEdge&topi c=&Search=true#Post3831661)

It's still faster than threaded mode. But the reason it does that is because the software doesn't always keep track of unread posts accurately.

Not if you want the post to make sense or if you don't care about slogging through every post in the thread.

Always makes sense to me. It's really pretty easy to use. If I'm wondering what a particular post is responding to, I just click on the name.

Pretty simple.
