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)

Threaded mode is

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.
