Cross-cultural feedback on topic reply order and usability for older users

However, at that point, I might only know the title. If I want to read the full details, I have to scroll all the way to the top and then scroll back down to comment.

It’s a single click on the right timeline. Or two taps on mobile scrolling widget.

Allow administrators to choose the default reply order for topics:

• chronological (oldest first)
• or reverse chronological (newest first)

while still allowing individual users to override this preference themselves.

Our nested replies feature has that.

Unfortunately these two responses are incompatible, since there is no timeline / mobile scrolling widget on topics with nested replies.

@wenqin

Perhaps users could optionally enter a reply number manually, allowing them to jump directly to a specific reply position inside the topic.

For example:

• jump to reply #500
• jump to reply #1200

Either press # on desktop, or on mobile: click on the 1/100 posts thing and then you will see a “Jump to”

And yes, there are discoverability issues here.
