Hey everyone šŸ‘‹ Some very smart people on our team created a _very_ experimental plugin to explore how a nested / threaded model view for topics would feel in Discourse. Use this topic to test the look and feel of this experiment! **WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR BUG REPORTS** , by definition this is a very buggy experiment. We are interested in how it integrates with our classic Topic view, and if this may be a good idea for some communities as an optional thing, either via global, category or user setting. Let the testing begin! ---

How do I quote your post? Looks like > everyone is [@trust\_level\_3](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/trust_level_3) ? ![Screenshot_20260318_220021_Firefox](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/d/d/7/dd7b635a2d93b5196034c489217f327874af25d6.jpeg) ---

Yeah quoting is broken in nested view at the moment. @Falco itā€™s actually interesting if you quote someone, we should probably open up the composer in reply to the quoted post by default. EDIT: Thatā€™s how it works in flat mode now, so I didnā€™t just come up with a revolutionary idea. ---
