Cunli: I think the phrases are worded accurately and don't think rewording them would change the situation. Other options to consider are:
1 Make the old thread current, after someone makes a new posting 2 Just make the new message a new thread, that when read brings-up the base thread. Now that sounds easy to do!!! 3 On the other hand, I like the way they do threads on http://www.finishing.com
There, I've created my "trouble" for the day. Now I can get back to work. TTYL Dave F
| Dave, | | Thank you for pointing this out to all, including us at SMTnet. We have thought about using different phrases to label these three listing options. How to you like: | | list thread by beginning date; list message by date; list message by author | | Or anything else that is better? | | Thanks again. | | Cunli | | | I view "List By Thread" exclusively. So, I never realized, until today, that I am unaware of messages moving through SMTnet on "List By Message" that don't shw-up on "List By Thread." For "List By Threaders" these messages are totally unseen. | | | | These "List By Message" people post to previous threads, sometimes six months old, but these messages are invisiable to the "List By Thread" only folk, because recently posted messages are attached to threads that rolled-off the screen months ago. | | Wierd. Orzit weird?? | | | |
