Curious - how many of you use threaded view or topic view?

Now that we have either option - what are you using?

Topic with linear

I like it because it reads top to bottom, and highlights the thread topic if there is a new post. Very easy to follow, and I prefer the posts listed in the order they occur.

I liked the threaded of the old sps but this one was a bit different and harder to view. I just changed to topic view so now I'm consistent on every board I follow

Threaded. I like clicking on just the parts of the thread I want to see, or the new posts. Also the rollover is used constantly.

Topic view ROCKS...if people quote who they are responding to and type their responses in the message box.

And finally....there is a reason that nearly every vBulletin board in the world is running topic view for all of its users.

Threaded. ETA:I like being able to roll over each post and preview it.

Rollover, click to read, back button to go back, then scroll around and try to figure out where you left off.

I swear folks that don't live by topic view have been biased by yuku and don't hang out much in the larger Internets message board world.

I use topic view

I like the old YUKU threaded version better, however.

The reversing of the post order that the new forum uses really 17s my world up... so I went with the topic view and have adjusted to it.

Threaded, with new stuff on top. I see that most use the Topic view ... I've never tried it but shall.

Agreed...if (see highlighted phrase in your post).

But I was really just asking Will to enlighten us...thus the **.

Dude, go F yourself.

Not all of us like it the way you do. I like threaded because I don't have to open topics all the time. Hovering and reading works for me and probably a lot of folks, except when dipshits like you quote entire damn posts and eat up all the hoverable text.

Just checked my profile, and I'm actually using Hybrid view, not threaded.

Exhibit A. You didn't quote. Most folks don't know who you are responding to.

Topic is ideal, but because so many posters use threaded..

it ruins topic view. If this board were like the other 99.9% of the internet (topic view only) then since everyone would be using the same format, we would all be quoting someone if we had a response meant specifically for them.

That's the heart of the issue - if you currently read in topic view, all of the people that use threaded view reply to someone by posting underneath their post, which will confuse the hell out of you.

Actually, most of us DID know who he was responding to. Because having to quote every damn post you reply to is a pain in the *** to both the person posting the response and most everyone else on the board who has to wade through the same post over and over as it keeps getting requoted. I understand that most message boards use topic view, but it still sucks donkey balls.

Thought that was why ...

I swear folks that don't live by topic view have been biased by yuku and don't hang out much in the larger Internets message board world.

God created two different views ... threaded & topic. You sir are biased and thus ... raciest. Why can't we all just get along?
