Sounds like a challenge! I'll put it on my personal project backlog ;)On Fri, Apr 21, 2023 at 07:39:17PM +0200, Jaroslav Prokop wrote:I am, luckily, not paid to read forums with no threading. IMO, a stream of posts with mentions of previous posts is not threading. Threading begins and ends on new topic posts AFAICT on discourse.It's not presented as a tree, but there _are_ threads of replies.Heh, sounds like a fun side project to try to transform it into a tree structure.If you want to make Jonathan Corbet happy, make that tree structure be then served via NNTP. :) I think it is a bug in UI/UX. I click "replies", I see *something* changed in the layout, but I have trouble identifying what exactly.Example:https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/future-of-encryption-in-fedora-desktop-variants/80397/83?replies_to_post_number=83Finally, noticed what it does, it made me a bit confused as the first response was the same as in the "global" flow of the topic, but the message under it changed. I think that it should be better visible that they are actually replies. It seems to hide other replies and only show those that are part of the "thread". Do they accept RFEs? :)They do -- post at https://meta.discourse.org/.I think enhancing the visibility after I expand replies for the posts in the "thread" would be better.This particular thing could possibly be done via a theme component (see https://meta.discourse.org/t/about-the-theme-component-category/232731), which is a kind of lightweight plugin for the client-side. (These are very easy to install into a given site, unlike weightier server-side plugins.) Or maybe even just some CSS. What exactly did you have in mind? Visually, if there are more than 2 or even 1 reply, then I just see with peripheral vision something had changed, but when I look closer I have trouble seeing a difference, IOW, I have trouble identifying what I did when I clicked the button. Either moving the replies a bit to a side or maybe adding something more visual, like a blue stripe on the threaded replies would be helpful IMO. I can play around with the plugin, see what feels how, and come back to Discourse with suggestions, thanks for the resources! (Firstly I'll have to confirm with a more "vanilla" install, to
see if the problem might be my default dark mode environment
Discourse switched into, that's a problem for monday me though :)
