Or is it just for me? Note, I see the same issue when viewing the forum in Abrowser, Firefox and as an extra experiment in Chrome ...

Ok, good to know it's not just me. Thanks for raising the bug lembas.

I never liked the nesting behavior. The posts should just be sorted by date.

I agree. Couldn't read my own post lately.

But even if it's not that extreme, it's still confusing; often I can't see who replied to me or to the post above.

Those threads should never have grown that deeply. We (at least I) fell into the troll trap. A message like https://trisquel.info/en/forum/wa-can-change-not-one-day?page=1#comment-65205 only deserves to be ignored (rather than receive twelve additional levels of replies):

  • It asks for justifications to release software under a free software license;
  • It accuses our community of being about gratis software rather than free software, with no evidence whatsoever;
  • It fires a political argument about "Capitalism vs. Socialism vs. Communism";
  • It states contradictions about "forcing freedoms";
  • More importantly: it basically has nothing to do with the previous comments in the thread.

We caught a troll (like I recently caught a cold) but we now have a well-working "-1" button to silently deal with trolls: https://trisquel.info/forum/hiding-down-voted-posts-and-everything-below#comment-63664 (@SuperTramp83: that is the conclusion of the post I wrote and that you cannot read).

Not a troll - I just don't like you.

Trust me - I would be worried if you did.
