While most web forums can have separate threads started by the first post, I rarely find a way to display sub-threads branching off like you can with a tree view in most news readers (and I have often looked hard just in case it's burried in the forum's options). If someone starts a discussion about tint2 on a forum and everyone starts talking about threading there instead, on web forums a person only interested in tint2 may have a very hard time working through all the OT posts in order to find out whether anyone discussed tint2 at all. On Usenet it's easy to see in a proper threaded view where the discussion branches off and skip around that. On really busy forums it's a nightmare. The number of times I've given up reading through a Raspberry Pi Forum thread about a promising topic, for example, because it just goes on for eternity talking about something completely different and there's no certain way to find whether anyone discussed the real topic again. Often it's the same thing with GitHub "issues" where I'm trying to see whether anyone found a real work-around amongst all the noise of why issue x shouldn't be a problem in the first place. Hence moderators might manually break up OT discussion to avoid this, but that's a response to the limitation of not having sub-threads, and often leaves a mess behind as well. This is one web forum with a Usenet-like threaded view (still not nearly as convenient as reading a newsgroup in Tin). Most that I see don't have anything like this unless they're actually mailing list archives/interfaces. http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/forum.php -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _# | Note: I won't see posts made from Google Groups |
