Hi there, a suggestion to improve the readability/comprehension of merged threads.
If I understand it right
currently 2 threads being merged fall into an order based on the times of the posts. Sometimes a thread may have been running for a while and then be merged with another thread which has been running for a while. The result seems to be a thread I can't follow at all, like trying to listen to 2 conversations simultaneously without knowing who is responding to who on what point.
I know this would not happen if all your users hit 'quote' so we could see what they're responding to, but this isn't happening al the time.
Perhaps this has already been addressed and so sorry for any repetition.
Thanks for a fantastic forum and all your hard work! :A:T

I would think that the two 'conversations' would merge into one fairly soon after the threads were merged.0
