I understand what you're saying, but each post says which one it's in reply to...
> The original post is left aligned, all of the subsequent posts are one tab over. I have seen this same script on many other boards, and somehow they make each post 'tab' over directly under the post it is supposed to be in reply to.
To tell you the truth, I think it's *more* confusing that way, with all those tabs. It makes the structure of the thread more clear, but it's easy to be tabbed past the edge of the window. So I took the tabs out.
I'd say it's a moot point now, but if others want to speak up for tabs, I'd be interested to know how many fans they have...
