I'll have to go with Hybrid mode. But, I must say, this is the first forum I've ever been in that didn't have a simple 'flat' mode, where you can see every post in the exact order in which they were added or posted by it's members.
This place is almost like a maze. Or perhaps, being NEW here I haven't gotten used to how this forum works. Yet, I can see how it might get confusing with so many replies in one topic. With discussions that break off into other subjects, otherwise known as 'going off topic', this way it can be easier to follow certain discussion 'branches'.
I'm sure there must be a reason why the 'flat view' option isn't available. Not that I can't live without it. I can always adapt.
Edit: Oops. This may have been better suited to the other topic titled: OverClocked ReMix Design ?'s and Issues.
