Moderator: Could you give us a short explanation of how the replys arrange themselves in the forum. It's sure not by date/time.

Default is "threaded", where replys are put after the post they are replying to. This version is indented, so replies to the same post are on the same level. Also with this version, you only see one post per page, and the indented list is only headers.

The other option is "linear", which shows the entire posts, in chronological order. I prefer that method, but it can sometimes be confusing when people reply to a post without providing context.

It gets mixed up when people reply to a reply or directly to the first post. I wish it was cleaner too. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Nice, concise, accurate explanation. I use and prefer the flat/linear mode as well.
