We would like a solution that enables us to do the following:

- Always nest replies under their parent post (i.e. don’t have them appear under “view replies” AND later in the main chronology)
- Allow “view replies” to be expanded by default
- Allow up to max 4 levels of reply nesting (instead of only 1 as permitted by core Discourse)

The data already stores infinite levels of nesting via each post’s parent ID, but we need to be able to express this on the front-end.

We’re looking for somebody who can do this quickly. Please contact me for further details or if you think you can do this work. Thanks.

PS: I realize Discourse is somewhat philosophically opposed to threaded conversations, but we love everything else about Discourse and our community (and business owner) is demanding we have threading.
