Forum Software Meta

Discussion related to the forum software and settings.

This forum uses the Discourse open source software. They have a forum: https://meta.discourse.org

Discourse added a nested view but I found it unusable so far:

Introducing nested replies - #46 by curi - Announcements - Discourse Meta

On my forum, I don’t see a “view as flat” option like in the example screenshot.

For me, I need flat as the global default, with nested being an optional view that users can use when they want to, with flat always being readily available.

As long as it’s a “view as nested” button which people can toggle back off, this would be great. A per-user setting to switch to nested as the default would also be great as long as they can switch individual topics or all topics back to flat at will.

Without adequate controls to toggle between views, I’ll have to stick to flat.
