This plugin is in very early days but we are trying to work out the fundamentals so it feels.. lovely to use! One bit of feedback from @mcwumbly was that it was not clear when you were in a deeply-nested thread view (called context view under the hood). After 10 levels of nesting, you are taken to a separate page dedicated to the thread to continue the conversation. This can happen infinitely.

I just pushed a commit to add some more bold styling that shows the current state. Click this link to see an example: [https://meta.discourse.org/nested/testing-nested-replies-on-meta/398759?context=0&post\_number=16](https://meta.discourse.org/nested/testing-nested-replies-on-meta/398759?context=0&post_number=16)

Curious to see if this helps make things a bit more clear. Also very curious to hear peoples’ experience with clicking notifications to these nested-enabled topics. I think there is some flakeyness to sort out but I haven’t seen a pattern yet.
