Might be nice.. probably not that easy to implement.. I’ll keep it in the back of my mind.
As you noted in your next post, we have the little dot that disappears as you scroll them into view. This is a great idea though, to make it more prominent for nested replies. Noice.
Yep great idea
It shouldn’t, this could be a bug.. or you’re going forward and backwards and forgetting where you are. For nested replies I implemented aggressive model caching so you can go forward/backwards and the scroll position and what is open/collapsed is all still exactly as it was. I think the cache lasts for 10 topic views so it’s possible you revisited, loaded the cache and expected to be back at the top instead of where you were?
Interesting, will look into this.
I’m surprised to hear this. We have some pretty large communities using nested replies now, and I haven’t heard this before. Will keep an eye on it though
I get where you’re going with this, but lets say the chain is 10 levels deep, and the levels all go deep.. sorting by that won’t add any value if the discussion keeps going on in a super deeply nested convo. Unless in this new mode, we autoload the absolute newest threads all the way down to the newest content. I like the idea but not sure about how we would do it.
Ahh I appreciate all the feedback and really liked seeing your forum where you and your users were talking about the feature. A very cool thing to see out in the wild. You’re almost convincing me that it should be an option. I’ll kick it around internally.
I know I didn’t respond to everything you wrote, but it’s all heard. Thanks for testing, talking to your users and giving the feedback over here. Much appreciated
