I guess I'm the only one actively using threaded forum lists and threaded thread viewing, but I found a bug just now.
When clicking on the "Date Format" thread I posted in the suggestions forum after an answer had been made to it I just got an empty post. It didn't show any title or text body, no name or anything.
Yes, threaded thread view is still here, although buggy and unusable at the moment. But I'm talking about threaded post list view, the page called postlist.php in earlier versions of the system. Not being able to list the topics threaded takes away much of the usability of threaded mode, unfortunately.

The expanded mode you're refering to got nuked in it's current format. This is something I do want to bring back, but somewhat different. Unfortunately this probably won't happen until version 7.1. The problem with the old expanded mode is it added alot of extra overhead and bandwidth that was unnecessary at times.
What I mean is this. Say you're showing 20 topics per page. Your interested in only 5 of those topics. It would expand all of the topics anyway, leading to a huge page. What I'd like to do is, utilizing AJAX of course, is to offer a way to only expand certain topics. Basically, something like a little + next to the topic, you hit it and it retrieves the expanded post list of that topic.
