I personally find the whole tree structure thing confusing when there's no indented list of posts.

But the posts _are_ indented to the correct level. Or, at least, they are in the view that I see.

I always reply to the original poster so my posts aren't below the max shown depth.

Which leads to confusing situations (like the post that I'm replying to) where your post has nothing to do with the one that it's a reply to. It's actually a reply to a completely different post. Not sure how you can think that's _less_ confusing :)

  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
