Request to update the forums readability system.

8 posts in this topic

Why not do it, like it is done on Reddit? All the replies are neatly sorted by their reference. Questions and answer get lost so easily here. I know it’s a lot of effort, but there is so much to gain from it.

Yes this is exactly the recommendation I would have too. And Imgur does it is even better. As soon as a post gets a few comments long, the pair gets confusing and I lose interest and would just rather start a new post.

There is not the option to make major overhaul of forum code.

Forum software is very complex and it needs to be updatable. I can't just make a bunch of custom changes and then be stuck.

It is like you are asking to make changes to operating system code.

Reddit is overly nested. It is annoying to navigate.

No, that is not a good feature imo, I don't like how you have to keep unpacking all the replies, and keep unpacking after you scroll to the bottom of the each unpacked section - since there is a limit how many replies can be displayed per section. It makes you feel like you have no life and just contributes to the general nolife vibes of the website, I suppose it can make all the geeks there feel like they are digging for something, or discovering something; particuliarly whose opinion ends up being better (more aligned with the subreddit hivemind), whose got the last reply, who is the winner of the exchange. But all they're discovering is their homosexuality

Option would be to migrate the forum to Reddit.
