Yeah... The whole point of "UBB.Threads" is it's threaded capability. All the other PHP/MySQL stuff just does a Flat view. It's kind of like buying a hair dryer and wanting to disable the feature to dry your hair. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Conrad - your opininion that threads doesn't look as good as others is your opinion. And you are entitled to it. It doesn't make it law for the rest of us. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
I work with dozens upon dozens of clients who want me to hook them up with threads - because they love it. They love the way it looks, and the way it works. And a good many of them have been classic converts. I'd give you a dozen "converts" off the top of my head that love their Threads board compared to Classic. But again, their opinions are their opinions. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> They don't have to match yours.

I know you think you have a pulse on what the universe thinks - but, given it's what I do, I dare say that I come in contact with more people on a daily basis who have chosen threads over many other products for various reasons.

You also have to keep in mind that existing users don't like change. They panic at new features and when features change from version to version - even though the transition is slow. If you blew out 6.4 with a Totally different look - you'd have an uprising of Thousands and thousands of threads board owners - who currently like it the way it is. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Thus I guarantee you that all changes made, are made very slowly, little by little. When working with a product like this - you have to cater to your existing clients first.

I do love the new Open Topic. It does have a nice look for it. And it works great.... if I'm using Internet Explorer. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> If I'm using Safari or OmniWeb I can't access half the features. And I cannot view someone's profile here unless I switch to my PC. So while it's pretty to look at - I'm glad that threads isn't so cutting edge that it actually works for me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Stuff you want and would like other people may not. Choose what you like to use and go with it. I wouldn't buy a product then expect it to change for me. Reading the same exact comments from you over and over is mega-tiring.

The points you have questioned have been asked and answered repeatedly - yet you still never read the answer before re-voicing your opinion.

You said the interface could use some refining. Dave responded agreeing with you, yet you continue to point the same out over and over again.

You say the design not decent - and you're entitled to tha opinion. But it doesn't mean that everyone else agrees with you.

You've mentioned the censor feature on at least 3 other occations. They have said, over and over, that the products will slowly begin to work and look somewhat alike. Not overnight. Yet again you mention the censor feature.

Either you never read the replies you get - or you totally fail to grasp them. I'll never know. But I know you probably lose credibility repeating the same things over and over. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
