madlithuanian Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Sorry if I'm late to the party on this one...but I just discovered if you make your reply to a topic ABOVE/BEFORE the "quote", your first snetence or so will be the "title" of your post! Again, if someone's already posted this, sorry. I'm just techinlogically slow and was away during the holidays. BTW - Happy new year everyone! May 2008 bring everyone health, weath and happiness!

Clenched_CLAW Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks for the tip MadLith! 1 thing I still miss from the BT board is the ability to see the text of all the posts of a thread AND how they're connected. It made it easier to try to follow the discussion. The closest I've found is clicking on the last post that has replies before it and then all that group of posts is displayed. Thanks! I'm still getting used to this new system. I heard that. BTW - Happy new year everyone! May 2008 bring everyone health, weath and happiness!

madlithuanian Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 No problem! I hear ya! I did like the way the threads looked. But I'm over it, and like so much about the new board that it doesn't bug me.

nfoligno Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 The one thing I wish we could still have, though I have no clue if it is possible (I don't know jack about setting this stuff up) would be having the posts numbered. When threads get big, it is difficult to see the order. The posts are time stamped, which helps, but if they were numbered like they used to be, I would think it would make it that much simpler.

The posts are numbered, yours is #5. However, that might not be what you want. I guess it depends what mode you are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfoligno Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I use the outline view. I honestly do not know how I could even respond in the threads in the standard view as I do not understand how you can keep up w/ the various branches of discussion w/in threads. In the outline view, I do not see the posts being numbered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the outline view, I do not see the posts being numbered. Ah I see. In the standard view, I just follow the replied quoted posts. Since they are in order since I last posted, I can see what others have said. I guess it is just what you are used to. I don't know for sure, but there are normally add-ons/mods for these types of boards that allows the admins to do a lot. There may be something out there that gives you the options you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Agreed! I really liked that element.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I'll search around the web and see if there is some sort of add-on that can make things more threaded for those that prefer that option. I haven't seen anything more so than the outline view but if I can find something I'll definitely set it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingtwig Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I agree with you guys that miss the way the other board was set up. I took me a year to finally figure almost everything out and then as I start really getting the hang of it we are forced to change. I am glad though that we still have a place to talk Bears though and could care less about how things are set up as long as we still have a place like this.
