Hey ADMIN!! This FORUM could be alot more readable!

[wacki]

This forum could be alot easier to read if the titles weren't redundently printed on screen each time someone posted. As it says at the bottom of this page, yhis forum is run by UBB threads and so it can easily be changed to look like Anandtechs easy to read forums. Simply list the number of replies by the topic title don't print the title over and over and over, seriously, how does that help us. It gives me a headache and makes me not want to hang out here. Therefore I want to create a poll for people to change to the much easier format that almost every other forum uses.

Yes, but then you cannot see who wrote the reply, and in most cases, that's what all is about, who comments.

[wacki]

Yes you can see who wrote the reply, just not at the main list of topics. If you see a topic you are intereseted in and it has 32 replies, click on that topic and then you will see the names of everyone who wrote replies. Try it out at Anandtech link I have up. Maxforums, diyaudio, candlepower, 3dss-forums, hometheaterforum, and audiocircle all use this layout. Just look at Anandtech form and you will see how easy it is to scroll through topics. Ontop of this you can see what everyone posted about that topic by simply scrolling and not clicking.

The display/layout of this forum here at 2+2 looks just like the one you had me link to. Try adjusting your view to flat mode and you will be a happy camper. try this, my view of 2+2. (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=exchange&page=0&view=colla psed&sb=5&o=14)

Ok never mind, Flat mode works much better. Thanks "wake up call" for the help. Admin cancel my poll please.

I feel like an A$$....

Of the three forums I visit, this is the only format I don't like. I'd rather see a chronological lists of responses, than the hunt-and-peck method used here.

JMO.

In the type of forum you are advocating it's very hard to see the tree structure of who replied to what. I can't stand that, I need the tree structure to keep the replies clear in my head. So I'd have to say I am against your plan.

A suggestion would be to just have the default title for replies be "Re:" rather than re-print the entire title also.
