@live627: I'm not averse to it being similar to topics. I even explained at length the pros and cons to this and why I firmly and adamantly believe in doing it that way. I just wouldn't do it *actually* off the topics table because that actually sucks so badly in practice (yay Discourse)

@Antechinus: yup yup, firm advocate of doing just that.

How many people use modes other than convo mode? Almost all the people who don't *know* about convo mode.

Sharing tables would be daft. SMF would then enter the seventh circle of hell.

[Antechinus]

I thought it was already there.

[live627]

As an option, yes.

* Antechinus also thinks that red text is effing horrible against the windowbg and windowbg2 post backgrounds, and that someone really should change the colour for the me tags

Then it would be in fantastic company with Discourse, which DOES use topics as PMs. It also uses actual-topics for reports from reported posts.

The tales I could tell you...

Worth thinking about for whatever comes after 2.1. How many people use anything other than conversation mode?

i dont use conversation mode, i really have not put in the effort to try it.

[Arantor]

doooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeet

Makes PMs so much nicer to use, bearing in mind I have exchanged hundreds and hundreds of messages on this forum in my time

Was just doing some satisfying of idle curiosity (not sure which circle that would land me in) and found a work of pure genius.

Think private topics.

[Arantor]

You realise we're on at least the 12th circle by now, right?

[Antechinus]

Yeah but the classical version only has nine. You'd have to invent new ones.

I have ~100 pages, four labels.

[Antechinus]

Oh man I just had an idea about the Nine Circles of Hell theme concept: as you get deeper and deeper into the circles, the markup gets worse and the gui becomes less easy to use.

[Arantor]

This account, 21 pages of conversations in inbox. Currently 2 labels, each of which pulls items out of the inbox.

Bear in mind I have also had previous accounts which also had many many pages of conversations

@Antechinus: like Discourse!

[Antechinus]

Ninth Circle would have bouncing submit buttons.

(which would be an awesome addition to an "Annoy User" mod)

[live627]

oh god

[Arantor]

You guys know I'm doing an updated version of Annoy User after I finish the gallery, right?

You have no idea the hellspawn I will be unleashing in that particular one. Lots of fun new evil ideas. For example, can we say:

Code Select Expand

body { transform: rotate(180deg); }

And that's not even the only new idea I have in the box of tricks. That's just the first one I'm prepared to share right now with you.

[Antechinus]

ROFLMAO. Now that's good use of CSS.
