outline, standard, or linear?, Which do you prefer? Options

[DaTru KataLYST]

I'm sure SOME of you have noticed these three options on the top-left of the forum. They are different formats in which the posts are organized and viewed.

Outline, Standard, and Linear+

I am currently using Linear+

Not sure what these options mean?



- Outline -

The board will show the author post, and then proceed to show an outline of all the posts under the author post. It embeds posts that quotes other posts. By default it only shows the first 7-10 words of a post. Good for skimming. Bad for anything else. But of course in the outline you can click on an excerpt and read the entire post.


- Standard -

The default option, where all posts are viewed in a regular format.

- Linear -

My preferred format. The author post is viewable on any page. That means that you could be on Page 8 of a thread, and the author post is at the top for reference. The options to [add reply] and navigate pages are viewable after the author post, not at the top of the page. This would be convenient if the thread was asking "how old are you" and there is no need to read anyone else's posts. All you'd do is click reply directly under the author post.

ohh cool, i noticed that but didn't know what it was. i think im on standard

[jennyjenny]

Ohh, I was wondering what those were for...

but I've been using standard, i guess.

[kellyannie]

I like standard the best

[Euphoria Rose]

I'm using standard.

And I like it better as well.

I tried the others but I don't like it. So I'm sticking to standard.

[*tweeak*]

wow, i definitely never notcied that before

[angel-roh]

I noticed it too, but then again I didn't know the difference. I tried all of them and looked around it... they were all same to me, so that's how I just went back to standard mode where it was in the first place.

[*xcaitlinx*]

standard ... i guess ... cuz thats wut mine has been on. i didnt know there were other options lol

[silver-rain]

hah, i was wondering what that is. i usually use standard, but linear+ is cool too.

[*tyedyefroggy*]

I did notice and Im using outline

[s0pnayish]

Thanx for the explanation. I've always seen those on the top of the page, but never knew what they were or what they did. I like standard, but outlnie isn't too bad.

[jr0h]

i use standard. its just easier and im more used to it

[*stephinika*]

yep i noticed and i use linear for the reasons you've stated.

[shortvi3tlaydee]

im using standard just because im use to it more =]

[fallen_angel1137]

I noticed it when it was first changed and I was changing it to see which one i like best and i left it on linear.

[Flaunted]

standard!
but since now i know what linear one is i think i will use that one instead.

[sammehmyst]

I use linear+

[Just_Dream]

yea I've clicked it before haha. At first I thought linear was the same as standard... I hardly click the "ADD REPLY" button for a while now, since I usually use Fast Reply, way at the bottom ahha. But yea I've had it on standard, sometimes I change it to linear.. I like to click buttons =P

[JlIaTMK]

Haha, yeah i was confused for a second there, but I like linear+ the most. I like it when you can see the author's post and read everyone elses

[imafreakinazn]

[gigiopolis]

Oo, thanks a lot. I was wondering what that was all about anyway.

I'm using standard. Because I don't like change.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

[LeSLiE]

Standard.. cuz I'm used to it.

[Chii]
