Feature idea for the Forums [modified]
-
I think it would be a nice feature for the forums to keep entire threads together. For example, if you have the 25 items per page selected but the 25th item is a response to the originating post and there are other responses after it, you have to go to the next page of results to see them. I think it's really annoying to have to do that. Frankly, I'd like to have a view that only shows the original posts and then be able to drill into them as I wish, rather than having them all expanded out and cluttering up everything. Then, I could choose to view 25 original posts per page and drill into them if I'm interested in the topic. Make sense? OK, I see that using Thread View does this. Thanks for the suggestions. I did try that before posting, but the catch is that you have to hit the Set Options button, if you just refresh it uses the old selection. I guess that is where I ultimately went wrong.

1 - this exists 2 - the suggestions forum, also exists.

Just above the forum, set the layout to "Thread view". Is that what you were looking for?

Perhaps a "How to Use This Site..." Seriously, not taking the piss (This Time). It is not intuitive, so perhaps a hints and tips page...ooerr... Perhaps I should put this in the Suggestions Forum?

Isn't that a CPhog feature rather than a CP feature?
