Re^10: Listing Best Replies First: destroys threads and annoys readers (casual readers)by LanX (Saint) |

> The claim was about traffic Casual readers come via search engines and are normally directed to sub threads and not to the root node. They are looking for a special answer and won't read a whole thread but rather skip to the next search hit. Those people want best-first ordering and most sub threads are short and/or linear chains. And they will face other problems anyway, Google often links to other displaytype like print or xml nodes here. Your complaints would only make sense for regular readers who understand the tree topology here and want to follow a thread chronologically. But those will already know how to log in. Your claims sound far fetched and unfunded. I'm not against a more intuitive and interactive design, but "best first" is not the most urgent problem.
