: I didn't know where else to ask this so I thought I ask it here. Why is it certain topics seem to split off from each other after a period of time? Is it because of the code in the program? It just seems like its cluttered and unorganized.

: Is this issue going to be addressed with the next WEBB update or is this something we have to deal with?

Technical questions should be posted either in the Internet Department ship or under the Internet Department or WeBBspace projects tracker.

The note handling system is actually very organised, Cordell. The parent note to any thread (for example your original note) is the originator post. Any replies to that parent note appear beneath it. Any replies to child notes, that is, any note which is posted in reply to this, will appear under the child note replied to, which becomes that notes parent.

Should a note be created from scratch but with the same topic header, it will appear as a new parent note in date order in the notes list.

Should the note being replied to exist prior to the one week default buffer (the standard list of notes which appear when you elect to read them), it will appear in the same manner, seperate from the others, in date order to accomodate the one week buffer.

Unless I'm missing what you're meaning, this is the way the system is designed to function and is not an 'issue' in the technical sense.
