According to the announcement
nested replies have been released and can be enable by the site admins.
@mattdm @kevin Could you please check if we have the setting.
Can it be enabled per user? or per theme?
Upd: after reading the thread it seems it can be enabled per category. Can we try it in some corner of the forum and see how it behaves?
I missed this one but from reading the article this looks like a nice chance.
If we can enable it for an existing conversation it would be nice to flip the switch to see what it looks like and if it’ll have a place here.
I expect Kevin and @gwmngilfen see it here too, but usually its safest to place something like this as a ticket for site admins → Making sure you're not a bot!
Someone already did! Making sure you're not a bot!
I’ll comment there
So on a long thread, I’ll have to repeatedly scroll back through the whole thread to find out if there are new replies hidden in the middle somewhere? I don’t think I like this feature. I’d rather keep things simple and linear.
Also, I’m not sure if this would interoperate well with the existing WordPress → Discourse plugin that we are using for Fedora Magazine.
Ah, if individuals can opt-in to it on their own, that is different. I’ll just leave it off.
I don’t think that it should ever be applied to the entire forum.
But I’d like to test it on a couple of not super important threads, to see if it makes sense for some specific types of discussions.
It is a switch which can be enabled on and off easily per topic, so it should be relatively easy to do a non-destructive test of it.
Maybe we can enable it in the mod area as first step to find out how it looks and behaves, and then from there see how to go ahead and what to do with it (and if and where it might fit). The mod area might be a safe place to test stuff like that.
I asked Greg to look into this… but from a quick reading: no.
It can only be enabled (by admins) on categories, and when they do,
everyone gets it, there’s no per user settings. ;(
But that was a quick glance, perhaps Greg will see more next week.
