hi all!

i got a demo going.

i'm looking for forum software that gives members flat and threaded (member choice) --i UBBthreads has that(?).

BUT...

i HAVE to have the ability to allow my users to choose to *Expand and Collapse* the topics.

can UBBthreads do that?

did wwwthreads become UBBThreads? i know there is still a wwwthreads that was once commercial --that one did Expand and Collapse topics.

if UBBthreads does not expand, does anyone know if there is any software that does?

that would mark a real void in the available forum software IF there is none anymore.

please help us out!

wwwthreads was the original name, then around 5 years ago when Infopop (now Groupee) purchased the software the name changed to UBBthreads.

Rick has always been the main developer of the software from day one and continues to this day

The software allows for both threaded and flat views and allows the user to switch on the fly between the two.

I think the software will be perfect for your requirements and is the only forum software that I know of to offer both flat and threaded views on the fly.

Enjoy

thanks i thought so.

but...
i HAVE to have the ability to allow my users to choose to *Expand and Collapse* the topics.

here's an example.. it should come up Expanded. look at the top right of the board itself for the Expand Collapse selections:

can UBBthreads do that?

i have a 48 hr.UBBthreads demo running now and i can't see such a feature anywhere, nor do i see one here.

thanks

Oh I see you mean within the postlist view.

This is not a current option I am afraid.

Although all templates can be customised

bad really bad.

do you know how to create that feature?

it was or is in some version of wwwthreads, anyone know which or where i can get it?

This was removed from the list of features during the 7.0 rewrite due to the excessive resources it required. We'll probably add this back in at some point, once we can figure out a way that it doesn't require so much CPU/MySQL useage.

wwwthreads became ubbthreads - I would not advise running any older version of any software.

UBBDev is a good place for requesting modifications

Hi all,

First, thanks!

Know where I can get a previous version that has that?

I REALLY need it!

Thanks in Advance.

6.5.5 is still in the Members Area. If you really must have that, then you could possibly run that version until we get the feature re-added to the 7 series. You'd need to keep in mind that that version is a couple years old now and it may be a while before we get the feature readded.

Rick, it strikes me that we could likely add something like what I put in the new FAQ to expand/collapse responses in threaded view; I think it'd be "acceptable" for any users who're looking for this type of functionality and wouldn't add (much) load...
