Preferences
Use the form below to select the manner in which you wish the messages in the index to be displayed. (Note that since this board is not set to utilize "cookies," your preferences will not be remembered the next time you visit.)
List Styles:
-
A Simple List will display all messages
chronologically; that is, in the order in which they were posted.
-
A Aphabetical List will naturally arrange
messages in alphabetical order by their subject lines.
-
A Threaded List will arrange the index
by theads, with responses indented below their parent messages.
-
A Compressed List contains links to
each thread, rather than to each individual message, producing a shorter
index listing.
Display Styles:
- The Single Message display style will show the text of
only a single message at a time, though each message page will contain
links from which responses (or other messages in the thread) may then be
accessed.
- The Guestbook style, if combined with the Alphabetical
or Simple List styles, will display the full text of all messages on the index page;
otherwise, it will display the full text of all messages in a given thread on a
single page.
Sort Orders:
- Sorting Oldest First will give you a list in which
threads (or messages, depending upon your listing preference) are arranged
with the oldest at the top of the page and the newest at the bottom.
- Sorting Newest First will, naturally, do the opposite.
The other two options are relevant only to threaded and compressed
listings.
- The Mixed Order arranges primary messages with the
newest at the top, thus tending to keep newer threads toward the top of
the page, but arranges responses with the newest at the bottom, thus
preserving a more "intuitive" threading structure.
- Finally, the UBB Order will arrange threads by the
dates of their last responses, rather than by the dates on which they were
started; this guarantees that the threads with the newest messages will
always be at the very top of the page, but also means that threads will be
constantly "reordering" themselves on the index page.
Suggestions:
- If you're used to working with forums using Matt Wright's "WWWBoard"
script, you'll probably be most comfortable choosing Threaded List, Single
Message and Newest First.
- If you're used to working with forums using "UBB," "EZBoard"
or another variation on that same theme, you'll find that choosing
Compressed List, Guestbook and UBB Order will provide you with familiar
behavior on this forum.
- If you're a long-time user of forums utilizing older versions of
"WebBBS" with its default settings, you'll probably want to
select Threaded List, Single Message and Mixed Order.
