OP 

Don't @ me.

[Administrator]

no auto refresh? newest post supposed to show at bottom, not top despite it set to sort old to new.

[Administrator]

replying to OP different than replying to topic?

[Administrator]

it IS different.

[Administrator]

how nested can we go

[Administrator]

if only we could collapse these like on Reddit

This is different, the REPLY TO TOPIC option. This isn't available in the community now- there, the only way to reply is if you click on a reply button in someone's post/reply. So you're always replying to a specific person. At least with the threaded forum, you can reply to the thread in general, not to someone in particular. 

[Administrator]

the thing is, the only way to reply to thread is all the way at the bottom of the thread/page. I feel like this will be missed unless someone reads/scrolls thru the whole thread. In any case, a switch would be confusing for users. Perhaps once we test more and see if there's a way to optimize (check Atlas), we can make a tutorial/announcement/heads up before deploying in production.

I had to scroll down 2 pages of posts to get to the reply to topic field. 😕
