Subject: I miss the arborescent structure of messages

The now linear structure makes it impossible to reply to a message in a thread. Does the reply relates to the first post or to a subsequent reply? We can't say. It makes commnucation difficult.

Sometimes we want to comment to a specific reply to a question. Now it is linear and not possible to be specific.

The new version of the site has a lots of nice gizmos, they only need to be properly managed. Like I do not like the huge boxes with all the data when we post a picture. is it really needed? I believe that the old format was quite good in its presentation and only neeeded a few tweaks to be up to date. I like the "Keep it simple" way.

But I am thankfull for all your hard work.

Click on the "Thread View" button (upper right) and it will display the forum or topic as a tree like the old board. You can also set this in your profile so it displays that way by default.

We could definitely trim down some of the picture stuff... we've been trying hard to "keep it simple" since the upgrade -- we've trimmed out a ton of fat from the default installations. Thanks for your feedback!

Great. Thanks very much. I did not know it was possible to customize the view.
