On my forum, I don’t see a “view as flat” option like in the example screenshot.
For me, I need flat as the global default, with nested being an optional view that users can use when they want to, with flat always being readily available.
As long as it’s a “view as nested” button which people can toggle back off, this would be great. A per-user setting to switch to nested as the default would also be great as long as they can switch individual topics or all topics back to flat at will.
Without adequate controls to toggle between views, I’ll have to stick to flat.
I actually completely removed the view as flat option. It was around for our internal testing so we could compare flat vs nested view easily. We saw no value in keep it around so it’s now gone.
