Starting today and on this board only, we are testing threaded replies.
A few notes:
It is set to 3 layers of nesting, and will be tested that way here for a week or so, but we are considering one level. We'd like your feedback about whether three layers feels comfortable or feels like too many.
- It will get some design changes, just small ones to help the replies look a little more "grouped" visually.
- It will not be suddenly rolled out to the whole community and can be turned on board-by-board. The most likely place to see it tested next is in next week's Weekly Chat.
- It will definitely be in use in some areas of the community - threading is the way of the future. The question here isn't yes or no, but how to make the yes feel as comfortable as possible.
- If you reply to the OP, it'll be the first level of replies. If you reply to a reply the nesting will start, up to three levels.
- It is retroactive to past threads, so you'll see it on older content here in Platform Feedback starting now.
Please bang around on it and share your thoughts. I appreciate your feedback and partnership on it!

I'm excited to see this finally happen! I know that we've worked to get it rolled out for a while, so good to see it making a debut!

Now I'm just replying to myself to see the thread in action...

I am too! I find it so much easier to follow conversations with threading. I'm really looking forward to feedback about the 3 levels vs 1 level of nesting.

If I accept this as a solution, will the thread close or can someone else comment? Assuming I asked the question, but someone else responds with another POV or additional tips.
Hi @scene.of.the.crop - It shouldn't close the thread, but it would float the solution to the top of the thread itself.

Does anyone know what the criteria for that fun 'expand to see full quote' is? I really like it, but not sure if it's length of the quoted replies or the number of levels that are being quoted?
