[boards]Tree view[meta-discussion]

I've been pondering the idea of rebuilding the DOM of a thread based on double-greater-than post references, ultimately to achieve a view similar to some other discussion systems (blog comment threads and email list archives).

Minor problems will be infinite reference loops and multiple references (both solvable by operating on only the first instance of a post and linking others) and the issue of having to build the tree leaves-first (not really a problem with Javascript's modern BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA).

Questions? Comments? Insults?

curious: have you read the book "Javascript, the Good Parts"?
and if so, what do you think of it?

First of all, it is bitshift right, not "double-greater-than."

Second of all, please refer to them as "pointers to type post," or as "post pointers" for short.

No, really. Name what ``modern'' features ECMAScript lacks that would have made a specific task more tractable.

Javascript doesn't support integer values, only floating point operations. It's really hard to do bit operations in it, as a result.

ERGO YOU'RE WRONG BICH
