Although this is probably in the category of low priority wish list items, maybe one thing to keep an eye out for when vBulletin upgrades are about is slightly better threading tools. The "Where am I" thread works least poorly in Linear mode. Hybrid mode is a PITA since it only adds about 5 layers deeper at a time, and the thread display becomes pretty illegible after a while, for a deep thread. Linear mode works the best for time sequencing active topics like this one, and in general, it's harder to distinguish separate conversations that some form of threading would otherwise provide (although all the display modes suffer from this weakness, to some degree.)

Just a thought.

One of the problems with Threaded mode is as each person replies to the message, they need to either "Post Reply" or click the "Quick Reply" icon in the actual post they are responding too, otherwise Threaded view is useless.
