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 the `topic-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 the `reply-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
