Of course, we will ask W to switch back again in a couple years. Keeps him out of the bars.

I have also been thinking about adding some kind of live chat system too but don't tell anyone I told you that. ????

I voted simple threaded only so it's easier to find new posts but think the nested is better for following conversations within a topic. So that's a dollar each way but wanting not to miss posts wins out for me.

That's pretty much an exact quote about how I feel about it. I think the nested stuff is super cool and I'd hate to see it go. But it's true that the vast majority of visitors go straight to the Recent Posts page, and then have two choices which often take them to two totally different places within the thread. Beyond those two, you have to just go back and re-read the entire thread. Ain't nobody got time for that.

@wendell - thread and subtopics above are a perfect example of threaded replies courtesy of Bob and Wendell 🙂

How about we leave it some simple and some threaded for several weeks and see how that goes?

Yeah, I don't know how soon I would make the change (assuming the votes remain at such a huge margin in favor of the Simplified format). But I don't intend on switching the Non-Surveying category back, so it will continue on as Simplified either way.
