Re: Does the monastery want a threaded newest nodes?

demerphq: Would it be difficult to implement collapse/expand, or depth settings on a per-section basis? I might be interested in seeing in Newest Nodes expanded threads to ten levels of depth for the nodes posted within Seekers of Perl Wisdom, but only one level of depth (or non-expanded) in Poetry, for example.

Overall, I like the premise, it makes a lot of sense. The old Newest Nodes should always be a click away from the threaded version though.

This is done now. I also added consideration, approval and front page status. Enjoy.	[reply]

I don't see the depth-by-section setting, and would really like such a feature. For example, next to the Discussion section heading, I would like a "Set depth" dropdown. And likewise next to each section heading. That way I could reduce the max depth on a per-section basis. I'm not keen on multiple font sizes, but bold is fine for nodes less than, say, 1/4th of the "xx days" setting. I do like that the threads are collapsable. I wouldn't mind seeing them collapsed by default, and an asterisk if there are responses within a certain timeframe. ...just a few thoughts. ;) Oh, and the whole thing looks pretty bad on PDA screens like the Zaurus, but I don't think there's much that can be done about that. ...As long as we keep the old version of Newest Nodes around as an option, that will be fine.

What I'd like to see there too — or even more, is the age of a node. Granted, I can see when a node is posted when hovering over the link with the mouse, but it's not that handy. I was thinking of a format not unlike the "last here" time on user's homenodes: "3 minutes ago", "1 hour ago", "4 weeks ago" — though it could be a bit more compact: "3m", "1h", or "4w" respectively.

It needs better styling (suggestions solicited) but age and time are optionally displayed now. --- demerphq _{First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. -- Gandhi Flux8}	[reply]
