New thread system

Jaimie

Thumbs up for that. It's a work in progress! So many fiddly bits and edge cases, hopefully it'll keep you entertained for ages yet.
(If it's possible to write the function that creates the nice indented list so that the same function could draw in the bottomleft sidebar or the top subject panel, though...)

That's the idea, but I have to figure out how to handle very deep threads in the upper view.

I have seen other clients just stop indenting more. In some ways less clear, but you can see info that is hidden with yours. Maybe set to width of that side panel?

Andre

What wrong with the scrollbar at the bottom?

Andre

Scrolling requires more effort when you are scrolling up and down, and you lose the view of the dates.

Jaimie

It's a bit fiddly with a Magic Mouse, tends to go sideways rather than up/down but it may just be my fat fingers.

Andre

I believe you are using thunderbird.
Is this any better then?

Snit

It is. Thank you.

Andre

I'll see what I can do.

Now after a view weeks working with the new thread view, I was wondering how it goes?
Are you guys used to it already or is unfolding the threads still preferred?

Alan_B

I'm generally quite happy with it. I'm sure there are a few tweaks that could be applied. e.g. Highlighting posts made by the user in some way - this would make it easier to see your own posts in a complex thread tree. Maybe using italic text or a different colour or a simple asterisk for instance could be used. It's NOT a major issue for me though!!!!!

Nice feature indeed. I've created a discussing for this here
