an infinate ammount of space given to the reply area? so insted of ... we just see them all?
this might be a pain for the longer threads though, as they would expand the layout of the main page to much.
a better idea which just occured to me was that we could also have a "latest post" feature which, insted of being on the last 25 page was build right into the post. between the message text and the replys field would be a good place for this. it would cite the last posted message, just like the way the last 25 oage does. in the event the thread has fractured, it would show the bottom of each thread with a reply (so if one message has more that one reply on the next "level" to it, they would only be counted as fractured threads if someone replyed to them both). if im not being clear tell me, becuase i think this could work. |
