Could this be done? A Linear Mode /Threaded Mode Mod to SMF like seen on vb?
I Think this could be a great performance improve to large SMF forums with a lot of Mods...
Then put this to default to guests/google/yahoo/msn bots and a lot of queries are saved - not showing each single avatar/posts/signature/smf shop/arcade status/etc
Thanks for this amazing software,
Claudio
I do think this should be a mod. However a few points.
Linear mode is what SMF uses already. (all posts in post date/time order)

Also threaded mode would use ALOT more queries than linear mode.
This would impact performance on big boards. Especially where spiders are browsing. Because all the topics/pages are broken up more.

This is the ultimate flat/threaded view solution:

Each post includes a link to the parent post together with its number and the name of its author. Consecutive post numbers should be added.
All should be a feature, not a mod.
