Ah I see, I imagine it’s been that way for a while.

IMHO, from a UI perspective, wouldn’t it be “cleaner” to see what post Im getting into , instead of the scrunched up version.

If the OP of the post wants to highlight specfic text , he can quote and it looks great.

I feel like if they’re linking the post, they may want us to click the post, or at least expand and get some context.

From a pure numbers game, I imagine more people would click or expand a post with proper formatting. Just easier to look at.

Lets not forget the majority of discourse users are not coders or programmers. Seeing text bunched up in a box like that is not something they’re used to seeing.

..again, just an opinion.
