Hi Allen,
I just PMed you...
FYI, the latest version that I sent you modifies the display: by default, it includes the calendar view as well as the threaded view, and it allows you to navigate to "hide" the calendar, as opposed to "switch views".
I did this in reaction to my readers, who felt with the prior version that although you could switch to a standard view, doing so was a little bit awkward.
It would be a relatively easy matter to change this back to the original way.
I would suggest that the best way to play around with this would be to install it here, decide on whether you like this approach or not, see if want to change some things (eg I hestated whether to include the original navbar in the calendar view), and then make the translations from a working final version.
Regards,
Max
