In Response To: vBulletin (Nick Schade - Guillemot Kayaks)

No problem at all Nick, I think I'm too used to the other types of forums.

Is there an option in the current software to collapse the threads/conversations ? That's my only "problem" (difference with the other ones I'm used to) since sometimes a conversation could trigger lots of responses, and they'll be all at the top, requiring to scroll down several pages to find new conversations (this is a case in which the forest doesn't let me to see the trees, I'm sure I'm missing lots of interesting discussions because of this).

Regardless what you decide to do, thanks for setting up this forum, it's been extremely valuable (and everybody is very friendly), and the main reason why I'm starting my third kayak very soon !

: As best as I can tell, vBulletin is a topic-based system where the
: index lists the topic of the initial post, in order to see what
: is actually being discussed you need to look open the topic and
: then you can read through a list of the messages in the thread.

: With Tetra-WebBBS that I'm using here the system only recognizes
: messages and any message can appear in the main index.

: I understand that this is a matter of style, but I find
: thread-based systems like vBulletin very hard to follow. If I
: get enough clamor for it, I'm willing to change, but I don't
: want to hinder the flow of conversation.
