Forum-like sift talk
Sift talk is getting a lot of posts.
Problem with this blog-like visualization is that old posts die, no matter if people try to continue replying.
I really think a forum-like visualization would be *MUCH* better.
Explanation for non-geeks
Blog-like shows threads ordered by last created, and shows the content of the first post directly in the main page.
Forum-like shows threads ordered by last post (so if you post in a thread, it's "upped" to top), shows in main page only title, author (+time) and last poster (+time).
I understand it's a big change, but I think it's necessary.
PS: a bug. If i click "Email me when someone leaves a comment on my post" nothing happens. I have to bookmark the thread to get notifications. And then I get two notifications. But if I unbookmark, none.

jonnyI don't know. An obvious reason for so many recent sifttalk posts is the transition to 3.0. Bug reports, channel changes, feature requests, publicity, etc.; it all adds up. I'd say give a it a week or two and see if doesn't return to normal.
ZifnabI've been thinking about this as well, what I think would be very helpful would be some way to indicate which sift talk posts have new comments. Or a way to see the recent comment list, but only for sift talk posts. I think those type of features would help prevent comments from being lost without the need to go to a full forum-like sift talk which I think would be overkill.
KrupoThat's why I heavily bookmark talk posts which interest me greatly.
Not to say I don't find this post interesting, but I'll pass on the bookmark b/c I've said all I have to say in this case.
dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
You can view recent ST comments only.

mlxI often check recent comments but it's full of dead or discard notifications...I do wish I could hide the 'maintenance' posts sometimes.
dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
That's a good idea. Maybe we should make that the default comment view for recent comments.
jonnyI seem to remember reading somewhere that the "recent comments" link was dag's favorite.
arvana+1 vote for looris' suggestion. SiftTalk is a discussion forum, so it really ought to work like one.
pipp3355aye - forum style would be nice.
MINKi also think it's a bit too expanded, although it needen't be squished down to one line per post...
loorismain problem is that old threads get lost. bookmarks doesn't help enough.
grspecagreed and if I am not mistaken I brought this up a 6 months or so ago. Forum style all the way!
