> It’s not. Discourse presents all posts in order of their being written. When you click the “replies” button you are effectively asking that the posts be displayed twice, so they are displayed twice. Discourse just doesn’t do threading. It’s designed to make you read **all** of the comments, in order.

To be honest in that case I don’t really see the utility of the “replies” button.
