    This was a feature at DPreview.com that we relied upon so that in it was possible to start a topic, and have different subjects within that topic. Example

    If you note that those links to threads are referenced by a post number, changing/editing the title of a thread will have no negative effect on the link.
    Post No. 12345 will always be post 12345

    Personally I found this really annoying on DPR, especially when people used the subject for all the text of their post. It also makes little sense in flat mode.

    😊 I always thought that it was an essential feature at dpr - it can serve as an abstract. If the titles must remain the same throughout, why should they even exist at all? In my thinking having editable titles to replies is a feature request at the same priority level as threaded mode.

    Hence why titles don't exist on individual posts here, and it's all my dreams come true at once.

    Two different kinds of forums: Threathed vs Flat.

    I love much flat traditional way.
    I never used but found interesting the threaded "a la mode Reddit" on DPR and some others

    Yes, I don't mind threaded existing as an option, I know some people like it - my personal preference is flat and it annoyed me on DPR it would often dump you into thread view in some circumstances.
