Is there any way to prevent replies to an OP and instead default those to topic replies? I can cover most of this by hiding elements in the UI but there are other edge cases like quote bbcode, highlighted text, and I’m sure other methods (relatively new to Discourse). This is important to achieve th…

[תמונה] Gotchur: prevent replies to an OP and instead default those to topic replies Do you mean hide the reply button on posts and only display the reply to topic?

Not sure I’m understanding the issue… Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the Reply button on the OP and the Reply button for the Topic do the same thing – only the Reply button on subsequent Posts (comments) differs by inserting the reply within the thread? You might be interested in the CSS mo…

Hmmm perhaps this plugin can be adapted to suit your use case, which admittedly I do not understand… [תמונה] Discourse Restricted Replies Plugin discourse2 Summary Discourse Restricted Replies adds a per-category setting allowing staff to restrict replie…

This is actually a great example of what I am referring to. It seems that when you quote the OP, it ends up being a post reply instead of a topic reply. [image] [תמונה] ToddZ: Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the Reply button on the OP and the Reply button for the Topic do the same thing …

After thinking about it some more, I would even suggest that it never makes sense for a reply to be nested under the OP.

If you’re self hosted. There is a Journal plugin. However the replies will be comments under the Op’s Posts as Comments with a limited number of characters vs a full reply. [תמונה] Journal Plugin Plugin information_source Summary Turn a Discourse topic …

I love this plugin and it gets me close, but not quite all the way there. If only relying on comments, then it doesn’t enable the conversation structure I’m looking for (nested post replies are still important to me). If I allow other users to create new entries in a Journal, then I’m back to square…

Hmm.. can you post more details as with others. I am having trouble understanding fully what you’re trying to achieve? <a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/7/1/a/71ac3792510ac295bc5472ad13d629ca1a856ae9.jpeg" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/gdAVvtZ0Z3TcQygepusvWf6yPI5.jpeg?dl=1" title="This is a screenshot of a smartphone displaying a conversation in a messaging app. The text message is from a person named Gothicur and reads "I love this plugIn and it gets me close, but not quite all the way there.

Actually demonstrating this has made me realize this may only apply to the text highlight quote function as that seems to have its own reply type. This is the scenario I’m trying to avoid: [image] This is the outcome I’m looking for: [image] While I’d prefer not to lose this function if it co…

I have no idea how I missed this setting. If there are no other solutions, this will definitely do the trick. Thank you @Heliosurge !
