If all the features we gain outweigh the threaded view, I say go for it. If not, just keep it as is. That said, it seems like we may be delaying the inevitable if the current software is out of support. Tough call. I personally prefer topic view but understand why others prefer threaded. I’ll be here mostly lurking either way. I just enjoy the conversations here no matter how they are displayed. My $.02
Perfect is the enemy of good.
If it works and gives you fewer headaches, go for it.
But be prepared for multitudes of Abe Simpsons yelling at clouds.

Yeah that's a tough call. I really haven't researched forum software a lot to know what's out there. I just know in a lot of the software stuff I work with once something reaches end of support things start breaking and become very difficulty to use snd manage in mobile browsers. Desktop it probably won't be a major problem but even then might could cause a compatibility issue with some browser as they release updates.
I might would prefer to use something that works better with mobile because that's what I view the site on mostly now. But if a lot of people still use desktop they may not see that as much.
This one has been fairly easy to use compared to a lot of other forums I've visited. Some are very hard to follow or not as user friendly with the buttons and page navigation
I prefer threaded....that Jeanspage crap stinks....
I hate scrolling through all the replies, especially on a long thread....I just stop....

I'm the last person that would know how to find one
Just wild to me that there wouldn't be a well featured product that also has threaded views. Is it a cost thing?

How do I switch to the threaded view on mobile?
I spent about 5 minutes trying to figure out how to make the switch and couldn't do it.
Ditto.

It would be nice if embedding pics, video, tweets etc were easier, but threaded has definite charms.
I’m always on default mobile. To hard to read the threaded view. If I zoom in, then have to scroll left and right to read. If, I turn phone it’s awkward to hold with one hand and scroll.
App based treaded view that automatically sizes font for phone viewing would be awesome.

Threaded view is like betamax and plasma TVs, better technology just doesn't always win. Threaded allows for the multi-level conversation. Doing the quote reply only shows what you are replying to but not what caused that reply.
I do not use threaded on my phone most of the time so if that's were it goes, fine. Especially if I can post pics from the phone in that mode.

Honestly, the best thing about threaded view is knowing who is responding to what, which is difficult on mobile. I generally use reply with quote so it's known what I'm responding to.
If there's a good alternate way to do that in the new version, that would be great.
That being said. I've been here since the Yuku days and I'll be here if we change. I mean... what am I going to do? Go to Gene's Page or Elite Dawgs?
