In DPR, threaded view and flat view are both available.
From any thread, click on "threaded view" on the far right to switch from flat view to threaded. Your choice is saved as a default.
If you're already in threaded view, then the link changes to "flat view"
I haven't been paid although I've had a link to DPRevived in my DPReview signature for quite a while. Should I expect a backpay? I accept cash or camera equipment, such as lenses.
Bob offered me triple that, being the internationally renowned photographic expert that I am, but I declined. This website costs me too much time already trying to wrap my head around all the ins and outs of ISO and exposure :-)
Ha. Tell you secret with all that iso and exposure thingy stuff. All you do is look in an EVF if you have one and think, hmmmm, that looks be really goody stuff thar ...... click, click, click.
So easy and them up yonder there make it seem soooo complex, it ain't. ;-) You stick me me and we will be stuck just fineish ;-)
A while back in this thread, there was a comment that a 150 post limit had been imposed (in DPReview?) on topics. I'm curious why? If people want to go in an argue about ISO for a thousand entries, does it represent some technical issue? Too much storage space or something? Otherwise, why not leave them alone as long as they're not advocating blowing up anyone who disagrees, and let the debate/discussion happen? It seems odd to have some overseer who arbitrarily decides that "everything needed has been said about this" and disables it. Or picks an arbitrary number where a topic refuses any more entries...
We don't have this restriction here. What the software can do for us is close a thread and put it in an archive forum after it's been inactive for a period, or a set period after it was started. At the moment we have those features disabled, but we can enable them if there's demand.
I think like you, if people are still enough interested in a thread to keep posting, why would you close it?
When we have some better navigation tools it will help, but it's a one-click operation to go to the first unread post or the end of the thread.
Very true. Often, ideas began to start to solidify and then suddenly the thread was over…forcing a new thread forever detached from the original. Yes, many simply turned into piss fests, but many were also valid topics and discussions with useful info.
Often the thread would slowly steer away from its original topic. If it gets closed, a new one can be started with a more accurate title. I am not necessarily advocating for automatic closure, just a thought.
