Forum

Janko,
I have modified the Forum app to work with WebRichEditor to both create
and update Topics and Responses.
I have also subclassed WebRichEditor as WebSimpleEditor. I use the
simpler version to create news articles.
Regards

Nicholas

Your work on forum is more and more interesting. I'll definitively
replace current one in Aida with yours. One question I have for a long
time is about hierarchical view of replies. Do you find such a view
useful or should we add a flat one too? Add or replace completely? Flat
view is namely more "normal" on nowadays forums...

Best regards
Janko

Thanks. I'm not sure about which view is best, I will think about it and
try to get some feedback. I personally prefer the hierarchical view
because the context is clearer, however some users find it 'imposing'
(i.e.conceptually challenging!).

There is no "best view":
Low traffic, regular reading -> tree
High traffic, sporadic reading -> flat list ordered by date

If you want to annoy the developer, use the flat list to find an
interesting post, then request the tree view to see things in context.
