Re: Long and branching threads Tom Deketelaere22-Jun-10 22:40 Tom Deketelaere 22-Jun-10 22:40  I believe this has been mentioned / asked before and Chris is / was working on something but the page load could be the problem. The idea is / was to draw vertical line's. Re: Long and branching threads Dalek Dave22-Jun-10 23:55 Dalek Dave 22-Jun-10 23:55  It gets worse when it flips over a page, I have to put my finger on the screen and hit previous to follow the thread. ------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel. Dalek Dave Re: Long and branching threads Tom Deketelaere23-Jun-10 0:58 Tom Deketelaere 23-Jun-10 0:58  Use the 'view thread' button then. Works if the thread isn't longer than 1 page if it is your solution is as good as any Re: Long and branching threads Dalek Dave23-Jun-10 1:10 Dalek Dave 23-Jun-10 1:10  Well it is a digital solution. ------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Newer browsers could use HTML5 goodness, but that doesn't help the poor saps whose employers have locked them into IE6 hell. 3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18 Re: Long and branching threads Luc Pattyn23-Jun-10 3:49 Luc Pattyn 23-Jun-10 3:49  prefixing a single digit (the nesting depth modulo 10) to every message icon would be inexpensive and go a long way.

Re: Long and branching threads Chris Maunder23-Jun-10 4:40 Chris Maunder 23-Jun-10 4:40  Luc, I'm sorry but I think that's the worst suggestion you've made. It would add just noise. faint dotted lines, a la treeview, is what is needed. The issue here is HTML bloat. Once we cna use HTML5 then we could just draw the lines on a canvas. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Long and branching threads Dan Neely23-Jun-10 5:25 Dan Neely 23-Jun-10 5:25  Can you just do it now for all the good browsers, feed IE users the legacy version, and point and laugh anytime they complain? 3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18 Re: Long and branching threads Chris Maunder23-Jun-10 5:42 Chris Maunder 23-Jun-10 5:42  I like your thinking... cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Long and branching threads Luc Pattyn23-Jun-10 8:37 Luc Pattyn 23-Jun-10 8:37  Dan Neely wrote: Newer browsers could use HTML5 You have studied this[^], haven't you?

Re: Long and branching threads Dan Neely23-Jun-10 10:35 Dan Neely 23-Jun-10 10:35  Nope (not a web dev) but the version of FF I have passes all the canvas tests and AFAIK that's what would be needed to draw line art so I should be among the laughers not the laughees when it's implemented. 3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18 Re: Long and branching threads Chris Maunder23-Jun-10 6:27 Chris Maunder 23-Jun-10 6:27  Another option that I have on my TODO is to provide a "parent" link that will take you back to the parent. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Long and branching threads Luc Pattyn23-Jun-10 6:42 Luc Pattyn 23-Jun-10 6:42  yep. I suggested that earlier. FWIW: I did a little ASCII-arty treeview look here[^]; something I expect all browsers could handle. IMO HTML bloat is limited when compared to everything that is already there... Of course, the real stuff would be better, at least on browsers that can handle it.

Re: Long and branching threads Dan Neely23-Jun-10 7:51 Dan Neely 23-Jun-10 7:51  That looks so 1990. Perfect for pointing and laughing at the IE types. The only problem is that IIRC the indent levels get compressed on really deep threads to make it still fit on screen. 3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18 Re: Long and branching threads Luc Pattyn23-Jun-10 7:56 Luc Pattyn 23-Jun-10 7:56  Exacly. Now let us have the real thing on our foxy browsers, as well as the iPad we all relish.

There is some asymptotic behavior, it became necessary when some CPians were ganging together for the longest thread. However, there's nothing ASCII can't solve; in fact it is an open invitation to some ellipses...

Re: Long and branching threads Chris Maunder23-Jun-10 9:47 Chris Maunder 23-Jun-10 9:47  You should try this using Box drawing characters[^] cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Long and branching threads Luc Pattyn23-Jun-10 10:04 Luc Pattyn 23-Jun-10 10:04  I have used things like that on VT100 and VT220 terminals and on Commodore PET, even before the PC got invented. I didn't want to suggest you venture in code page problems and the like just to keep IE6 users happy.

Re: Long and branching threads Chris Maunder23-Jun-10 10:07 Chris Maunder 23-Jun-10 10:07  Take a look at our pages: XML <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" > Surely that gives you a little scope cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Long and branching threads Luc Pattyn23-Jun-10 10:18 Luc Pattyn 23-Jun-10 10:18  So what you're saying is it can easily be made to look even prettier. However I can't match that right away; my pages use iso-8859-1, that's lots of accents, no pseudo-graphics.

Re: Long and branching threads Peter_in_278023-Jun-10 13:27 Peter_in_2780 23-Jun-10 13:27  This thread is well on the way to "self-fulfilling prophesy"! Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994.
