in thread Dealing with nested replies in the Monastery
It would be a welcome improvement, but frankly, I have learned to live with the... well... peculiar way the perlmonks site works and don't mind it much anymore. Accepting literal line breaks in posts instead of br and p tags would be much higher on my ui priority list than better reply hide/show, as would dozens of other changes.
To be honest, some improvements in uptime and loading speeds would be even more welcome. Perlmonks is by far the slowest-loading website I have ever used, which is quite remarkable given that it's a text-only site with absolutely minuscule amounts of data per page. It also seems to be down a lot, too, but that impression may just be caused by loading times over a minute... after waiting 30 seconds or so for a text page to load, I tend to lose my patience and close the tab. |

Thanks, you are highlighting the exact same things that are bugging me, and surprisingly so given the amount of talented hackers that are around. I guess to an extent "old-timers" do not mind these things that much, or the amount of effort is perhaps just too much. | [reply] |

all of the above, and then, given the subject matter, its not a bad thing to have time to think before you speak :)

I also agree, especially about the line breaks and down/up speed. I want to attribute the loading times to the lot of bots that are slowing down the servers, but I don't know how accurate that is. Perhaps it's just the chatterbox or the fact that the server is using Pentium III's :)
