I am looking into using Discourse for comments on a website of mine . Is there a way to display the comments in a threaded style, like Disqus does by default (Example: Optimized Ionic-Angular CSS Bundle for PWA :: Julien Renaux - Fullstack Software Engineer & founder | AI guru )?

Discourse displays replies in flat form,though the threading is clear from the formatting. Discourse will likely never display threaded comments.

[תמונה] pfaffman: though the threading is clear from the formatting What do you mean by that?

Look above this post in the top right, you’ll see your avatar, showing that I clicked “reply” on your earlier post. You can click it to expand. Similarly, you can see on your post above that it says “2 replies” - click that, and this post will appear underneath

Thanks, got it. Hiding the “replies” in the direct view and triggering all these AJAX requests would be the view I am looking for :wink:

why won’t it display threaded comments ever?

It’s a fundamental decision behind the design of Discourse, see this blog post from one of our co-founders for more details Web Discussions: Flat by Design

@danyalamriben , take look at my plugin: https://meta.discourse.org/t/fast-quote-plugin/120427?u=merefield

Thank you, we’ll try this out and report back!

(After reading through Plugin: Ask me anything or Q&A format (threaded replies) and related and similar topics, this doesn’t really seem to be supported (yet))
