This is especially useful in large threads. And also many MUAs collapsed older parts of the thread already read, while still allowing to re-expand them, as the user's choice. Do either of these important features exist in the new forum? I revisited the forums after a few days, and it doesn't appear to do either, no? Then there's the "timeline" of a thread. Some MUAs (GMail) use a strict time-based ordering of the post, while the forum is ordered by time at the top-level, but a in-reply-to post (B) is always below the post one's replying to (A), which means newer top-level posts newer than A, but older than B, will appear out-of-time-order, unlike in GMail. That's a major change for mailing list users. Could a strict "flat" time-based ordering be available, as an alternate view, replacing the in-reply-to nesting with simply a link to the replied-to post? Thanks, --DD
