WebDesign: Allow viewing all threads/posts w/one page. Replying comments like FaceBook or better?

[Willber]

Replying to comments on this forum could be like FaceBook or better?
Where when one replies, it is attached to the replyee's specific comment.

Oh, yes, (I've always thought all websites should do this), allow for the option of reading all threads on the browser page. Like how when browsing items on a webstore, at the bottom of the item list, there will be an option to, "show 50 items, or up to 100 or All Items". That way one could use the web browser search feature to further their search tools.

Where when one replies,

Like this?

 

[Willber]

Like this?

Well, yes, and no. In the sense of, it would be attached to original poster's post, to save space in a thread. Also, say if one replies to a much older post in a thread, the reply would be attached to that post way back in the thread, yet the OP would be notified, and others in the conversation, also.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

IF anyone 'watches' a thread they get a notification, its a built in feature already.

 

[Willber]

I was just thinking of a way to have threads more consolidated, to use up less pages, so one could navigate and browse with less navigational time.

I look forward to seeing these great ideas put into place.....in Wilberbuzz.

Please, oh please, Don’t turn this forum into Facebook! I left that circus years ago for a reason!

With all due respect, sir. I was trying to have serious input. When does one not like to view all items on one page, for quick reference? It'd make searching items to buy on this forum faster, increasing arb community benefit.

And, save space on this very extensive forum to have some way of making replies more consolidated, by using an expansion layout.

@Reach Facebook has issues, some are the web design, the more egregious issues, are far beyond web design.
Lol, politics and web design should stay separate.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Don’t turn this forum into Facebook!

Breath easy...the worst model to emulate.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

view all items on one page

I still have NO clue what you're suggesting?

How inclusive is 'all'? What isn't available now? You're going to need to take time and be specific with examples.

In my view FB is the worst way to follow a discussion. Comments get lost...the search feature is clunky to be generous.

 

[Willber]

In that all these "pages" could have a selectional option to view all posts on one continuous webpage, so one won't have to click on each "page" "number" [link], to view all posts.
Similar to the upper photo, but instead of items, it'd be "Show All Posts" per page.
Sorry, if I'm not explaining it well enough.

LOL

And how many micro calories of energy are needed to click/scroll to the next page?

That may be a feature of the next version of the software program we use for Treebuzz.

With all due respect, sir.
It’s not about minimizing calorie use.
If tree work is an applied science, it’ll make cross-referencing much more effective.

I still don't see what you mean.

If one has all written text accessible from one page it allows for easier review beginning to end.

 

[Njdelaney]

Good luck finding a problem for this solution.

Sounds like a lot of scrolling. I may have an idea of what page I want to look at in a thread. I like being able to go to a specific page.

My vote (did someone give me a vote?) is to leave it as-is.

@Dan Cobb It'd have a realtime search feature, via the built in search engine that almost every browser has, to find keywords on any page. Skimming and scanning by means of "a lot of scrolling" would be another option for old school researchers.

To create such a feature is an additional option, default would leave the site unchanged.
It would create diversify features of the site, make it more competitive among other sites.
It'll only be a code change that would duplicate itself for the rest of the site.

Lol, a vote, so many things happen as planned that way... (')(')

Oh, well, I tried to have input, to add beneficial use of the site. =!
