Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Dynamic threaded user interface for forums

Hi Dave,

thank you very much. Here some thoughts and ideas:

1. I would display the form with the display types on the right and on the left directly display the first post.
This looks better since no place is wasted and the display form shouldn't have the focus.

2. The minimal display results in an error

3. The form doesn't always respond. So why not add a submit button, just in case.

4. the dynamic display tells for each post to what it response to. From what I see the posts are listed by date. Why not display as thread? So all responses to a thread are followed by each other.

5. Another more general thing: Compared to LAMP forum products our forum is very slow. Any chance we can improve the performance of forums? From what I see it is the most used package in dotLRN anyway - at least at our installation.

6. One question: how difficult would it be to define a flag that makes a forum read only? So users cannot post to it anymore.

Greetings,
Nima
