    I like it. Can we play Twister on it?

    Nice work David.

    It loads up quick and plays rather smoothly. Leaves me wanting more than 15 min.

    The benefit of visually seeing nested replies, is less important than the benefit of having replies in chronological order which then allows to:

    • Provide a list of links to the single (only 1 per topic) oldest unread posting in a discussion/topic. No need for multiple links for each unread posting/message, which make that list too long.
    • Entering a discussion/topic and reading posting in chronological order.

    The only disadvantage of not seeing post/message chronologically (instead of visually nested) is that users replying to another just need to start by a short quote or say who they are replying to if it isn’t obvious (like the message just above). This doesn’t seem to be a problem on the international Paragliding Forum, which provides the ideal list of links to the oldest unread message under each topic (click this  to see). The attached image  shows a typical result, and you just click the orange “UNREAD” link to get into that topic’s oldest unread message, great!

    I agree that it is important to avoid having to re-scan a recent topic, to hunt down what we have not already read.

    I agree with Marc to see a “chronological list of Most Recent Posts”.

    I recommend preventing recent postings to be inserted between older ones inside a displayed topic (the cons outweigh the pros). Other forums I use (like the international Paragliding Forum), only have postings in chronological order within a topic, and then it becomes possible to have a list of links to the oldest unread posting within a topic and read the newer unread ones that follow.

    Thanks for your good work David.

    When using a tandem wing for flying solo (as in this case), the connection needs to be extended to account for the missing spreader bar webbing triangles for tandem setups. Otherwise the brake handles end up too low.

    Thanks for explaining those options David.

    I’m only interested in same-day animation, no need to keep related pictures/video file more than 24 hours, avoiding the need for significant archival storage.

    Great implementation work in general David !

    For the LZ camera, can you add a link to an animation of the last 2 hours (example)?
