You mean other than having no idea who's replying to who?
And having no feel towards where the conversation is weighted?

I preferred them
but not specifically in the daily threads, so it'd be handy to be able to choose.

That's a bit harsh, isn't it? Struck me as a reasonable question.

How do you do nested replies here, though?

replace the stars with the post number, which you can see if you hover over "I like this"
( Mu Dinofiddler, Fri 13 Mar 2009, 10:42, Reply)

look at the id number in the "I Like This" link
and click reply and change the ID to the number you got there. Then the reply is to that post rather than the main post.

Thanks Lord Mue
Cheers for that, I've learned something new today.

Some of the /talk folk haven't exactly gone out of their way to make themselves popular over here. We're (and I take some responsibility here) a tad suspicious of new folk. If you're here to broaden your horizons then please don't let it put you off.

Ok, step by step.
Copy the basic reply link:
www.b3ta.com/questions/write.php?parent=386847

ok. Now make a note of the number of the post you want to reply to. If you hover over the "I like this" button with your cursor you will be able to see the post number in the status bar at the bottom.

Now pate the link you have into your browser and replace the last set of numbers with the post number you have noted. Hit enter.

A relpy screen will come up, reply. Hit post.

well done

Indenting
Is the way forwards.

This "looooooooooooooooong threads" idea just makes things difficult for me. Sure you can immediately see the chronological development of the thread but they go off-topic too quickly for my liking.

What would be ace is a personal preference whereby you could have it either indented OR non-indented depending on a profile preference.

I read and post through Opera Mini
And it doesn't show the indenting, so /talk is flat out impossible to follow. Flat replies force a little discipline in providing context when replying.
