I had some time yesterday, so I brought this plugin to a point where it makes a bit more sense.
-
Replies to replies always appear underneath the reply they are replying to in the order they were posted.
-
Replies to replies are indented and smaller (even ‘comment-like’ you might say).
-
You can’t reply to replies to replies.
I’ve attempted to make these changes feel ‘natural’, so:
-
Posts are staged in the order described above;
-
Neither the
topic-timeline
or its alternate thetopic-progress
box are added to the topic dom. Both represent the posts in the order they were posted, so they don’t make sense here. -
'The
show-replies
button and thereply-to-tab
are prevented from being inserted into post. Both are either don’t make sense or are just visual clutter in this style of topic.
-
The experience is the same on mobile
