Increase visbility on "reply" posts

Submitted 5 years, 6 months ago by

I've noticed that Replies are indented a bit, but between the small indent and the site's color scheme, it's very difficult to tell at a glance that a given post is a reply. I think it would scan better if the indent were increased on Replies, or possibly give them a slightly different background color/border -- just something, so that it's easier to tell just by looking at a post that it's a Reply rather than an independent post.

    I wouldn't mind adding a little indentation arrow icon in the margin before a post to serve as a better indicator. Good feedback!

    Would it be possible to include a link back to the post that's being replied to at the top of a reply by default? Right now it feels like you have to quote-reply to make it clear who you're responding to because of the chronological sequencing of comments (which I prefer to the reddit system of nested comments BTW).

    This is planned! I want posts that are a response to include a "In Response To User #000" with an easy link to go back and read.

    I would add replies to posts directly under the post replied to with some indentation etc. (like in email clients). This breaks chronological order though, but you can then have "threads in threads". I think it's a trade-off. Maybe add a toggle so users can switch from "thread mode" to "chronological mode" ?
