Geee... I couldn't fat-finger that bad again if I was trying! Must be time for some sleep.....

>I also agree 100%. No horizonal scrolling..calender stuff in upper right.. no mamanually expanding nodes...etc., etc.

>>I agree with JimB, in general I like the map tree above the message area. Especially with an intelliwheel mouse scrolling the frames vertically is quite painless now. The map needs much more horizontal space than vertical.

>>I abhor horizontal scrolling! I refuse to use any software that requires me to routinely scroll horizontally to read text!

>>FWIW the frame layout of the existing UT is not what bugs me the most. I just wish that when I select a date from the calendar that the map would open in the top right frame instead of the lower right frame.

>>Frankly I'm not sure that a treeview would be that useful, think about how much time we'd waste expandinf/collapsing nodes. Again a wheel mouse is way nice for working through vertical sections of pages.

>>>>The only problem that I think the side by side layout will have is when a thread grows deep enough. Either the indentation for a tree will be so small as to be nearly imperceptible or it won't take a very deep nesting to overrun the width of the frame. Perhaps you could try incorporating your ideas into the over under frames with what you currently have on top being moved to the left.

>>>Even with the ability to use scrollbars, both vertical and horizontal? What %'s of threads grow that big. Still, it is an interesting point you have brought up here...

>>>>The thing is that right now we have approx 2/3rds of the screen height for the message body and 1/3 for teh message tree. 3/4 of the width is available for the message body and the tree. Your example is givin us more height for the tree but less width (and the tree needs the width more than the height).
