Can the boards revert back to the old form?

I liked it much better when the message boards had clickable threads rather than them all being displayed at once. The page loads faster and I can go to the last thread I read without having to find where it is (ex: like in a REALLY long thread). Or if anyone wants to keep it this way could you make it a user preference?

Are you on crack? The old way it was difficult to see the chronolical order of posts, it was like this:

post1
___post4
___post3
______post6
______post5
_________post10
_________post9
_________post8
_________post7
____________post11
___post2

That was awful. For one, threading was *really* slow, and viewing messages became more like a memory test. It was kinda like "Can I find the next post in this thread before I forget the last one and/or hell freezes over?"

LP, it was not faster. As has been mentioned, loading the thread lists took around a minute or so right before I switched things.
