I don’t know if the Discourse source can do that, so I came here to get support! Because I find the comment layout like Facebook is very optimal for Reply!…

Discourse has a plugin architecture that allows you to customise the interface as well as a freelancer and agency supported ecosystem. If you have the budget to build this extension, consider posting your requirements in Marketplace

I don’t think you can do that in only a few hours. Discourse is not threaded. It’s designed to make it easy to read all of the discussion. If you want to have to click three times to read each post and then not be able to tell which ones you’ve already read, you’ll likely do it much more easily on …
