More Feedback on Threaded vs Not
« on: September 26, 2002, 07:15:56 am »
Coffee Talk is threaded, the others are not.

Personally, I like the non-threaded, but many seem to prefer threaded.

Please chime in:

1) Threaded
2) Standard (Other forums)
3) Other

I like the neat clean look of non-threaded, but the threaded approach makes it easier to quickly pick up new contributions.  You may have hit on a great combo with what you are doing now.  Leave Coffee Talk threaded and the rest as is!  Just a thought...

I vote for threaded.

Don't forget that there is a standard polling feature to collect responses like this. It does simplify things. There is a running total kept and there is a graphical display of the results.

Here are 2 interesting examples:

From the Immigrants Support Network EZBoard

What percentage of desi companies or body shoppers do you think are honest ? (That will pay on time, will sign your papers easily, will not psychologically abuse you, etc you know the drill ).

pub35.ezboard.com/fisnfor...Results=on

What is the knowledge of the US workers that share the office and working conditions with you?

pub35.ezboard.com/fisnfor...Results=on

I notice in the source code for this page that you are using the default EZboard Zstyle style sheet.

ztyles/default.css

Are you going to stay with the Ezboard Automatic HTML generators or are you going to start customizing the board by modifying the HTML code directly in the future?

I really like to see which messages are new since my last visit.

I also like to see which replies belong to which.

Threaded gives you all of that.

With the threaded, you can see what I am saying "ditto" to. :)

Threaded, please.

Much easier to see who is responding to whom in a thread.
