I think this is the major feature missing from a lot of discussion software.
Rivals.com had the option of threaded or topic view. MSNBC has threaded only. Is this currently an option or a mod or something planned or anything? If not I might be willing to tackle it, but I don't want to duplicate effort.
example. http://bbs.msnbc.com/bbs/sports-baseball/index.asp

I pinged him, it might be a starting spot for me. There was a question on his forum that wasn't answered yet regarding the threading. It's not quite exactly what I desire, but it is close.
I believe it should not only be a mod, but a standard feature, is there any room for creep in v2.

It's over 6 months ago, I think, when I first posted a similar enquiry here as yours. But the others' subsequent development seemed gradually faded and forgotten.
I would very much like some one to re-initiate the effort again. I've written a small piece with a simple idea: it's a tree generator (G). G generates browser-side javascripts (J). When J is in turn executed, it further generates pure HTML code which is rendered as a tree (T). Meanwhile, J still persists at the browser, waiting for generating a new T according to different clicks made on the old T.
The generator itself is written in vbscript, and churns out the javascripts according to the thread structure represented in a slightly-modified Reply Table.
Let me polish it a bit and try to put up a demo site here tomorrow. I definitely want some people to help with the task of tying this up with other things.

Great I'll help if I can.
It doesn't quite sound like what I want. Ideally forum.asp would be greatly expanded and modulized to return either a topic format or a threaded format. Once that is completed, topic.asp would be modified to do the same thing. The one big hitch in snitz as I see it is the lack of a subject/title line in a reply. This limits the quality of any threaded view as re:re:re:re gets pretty old.
The code in those two files is not commented well, so I am having some ramp up time with it (I've only been working with snitz for a week, just found out about it on monday.)
