UX improvements for deeply nested thread view

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: Discourse Meta

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.

It looks perfect to me, very clear that I’m in a detached thread.
