[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] gestuart88 That image sums up everything perfectly bravo![/quote]Thank you, it's a new feature I wanted to take advantage of. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I figured a diagram could help me shave off 2000 to 3000 characters or so I would have spent trying to verbally explain how the system would work in my mind. Also I got to weave in your mom jokes, so that's a plus. Scott Kankelborg would be proud. [quote]The only place I disagree with you is that the chronological order needs to be the only option for everyone. If two people can veiw the same converstation in two different ways there will be added confusion.[/quote]I don't think that there would be any confusion, unless you are talking to a friend on the phone and you're saying "Dude check out the last post in this thread! This idiot totally thought he had lost his cat!" to which he replies "What? All I see is a post about a guy getting an A+ on his test", two people should be able to reply normally to the thread. If you could elaborate as to what there would be to be confused about, I could have a better understanding as to what you mean. [quote]The only downside to a forced chrnological order is that you would have to hunt for people's replies to a particular comment (instead of them being bumped back to the top). This is fine with me because most replies being used as a mini discussion between two or three users (not benefical to the entire converstation) and you get updated on replies anyway so if you are that user in the side converstation you can get to the reply through the notification system.[/quote]Especially since comments are stored in a continuous page rather than pages of 25 posts, it's much more difficult to reach the later sections of large threads, especially in the bigger sorts of threads that tend to pop up in the Flood. Again, it's a strong reason for having both options.
