With all due respect I don't think this is about making Threads look like Classic. It's about making Threads look like a decent, professional bulletin board. Unfortunately at the moment it still resembles an open source 'freebie'.
Instead of making Threads look like UBBC, why don't we make it look... better? Forget Classic, let's find a better benchmark. Why not make it look as neat and sophisticated as Open Topic? This product is miles ahead of Threads (and Classic) in terms of design, and with the "blueprint" already out there and looking great... most of the work is already done, right?
It's amazing how long the Threads design has been overlooked while Rick has been working hard to fine-tune the engine. What's even more surprising is the lack of cooperation between the different "factions" at Infopop.
Why aren't ideas and options shared more often? What makes a function/feature good enough to be implemented in one of the boards... but not the other/s? Why doesn't everyone sit down and discuss the censor function for instance, and then decide on a common way of handling this feature on all products? By the look of things Threads, Classic, and Open Topic might just as well be developed by three separate companies, as there doesn't seem to be much similarity between these products... (especially between Threads and the rest)
