Continuing the discussion from Reply by email requires reply at top : [image] @nukeador @nightpool inline replies are an estabilished habit for several members of my community. As I’m working to start using Discourse as a replacement of Google Groups this feature should be added. Anyone? I’m…

[image] modius: Predictably perhaps, a core group of users only wants to work via email and never wants to touch the web ui I’m in the same situation, we’re using inline reply all the time and it’s a big limit for my main developers. Please can we deepen into it? And make it works properly?

An example for a good inline reply is github, it works like a charm! Please keep a look at it!

We are facing this in my community as well, but the approach we are taking is actually the opposite - the benefits of logging in are so great that we push back (gently, gently) to get people to log in more and more.

[image] modius: While much of this is simply the religious zeal for mailing lists of a small group, our fate was sealed by the lack of inline reply support and threading issues I’ve mentioned earlier. I’m in the same situation. My group are using github reply to notification and like it fair…

@tobiaseigen that’s a fantastic post :wink: I will copy it for my forum.. To get people to login more and more.. But now I need a reply inline which works pretty well

[image] modius: This config certainly improves things in Apple mail in that replies to a post are now appropriately grouped. However, the original post (ie without an RE) is orphaned from its replies. I could hack in a compulsory RE for all email I guess. I make note of it as others are bound …
