Flat Commments and Threading
An idea I had after reading this post from Michelle. http://groups.drupal.org/node/20542#comment-71555
I have a possible solution for Point 1 from Michelle.
Instead of turning off threading with flat comments, what if a reply to a specific comment, automatically creates a new thread with the comment being replied to as the top post and the reply being the second post. A link to this new thread could be inserted underneath the comment in the original thread.
This would allow side conversations to occur but in the correct place, which is a new thread. This could eliminate thread hijacking.


Already an issue

Not likely to get into 2.x, though, unfortunately.

I'm looking for folks to help me out by posting in my Coulee Region forums. You don't need to live in the area; there's plenty of general forums. But please, no Drupal support questions. :)

This is why your Drupal's forum savior. You think of everything and have the coding skills to back it up.

Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to do everything. Or the time. But it's getting there, slowly but surely.
