Dear Monks,

I am trying to improve my current work-flow here at the monastery, in part due to being driven to be more efficient, and in part by laziness, for which I humbly apologise.

When working through threads with many nested responses, I find it extremely tedious to have to open the deep nested responses separately in order to expand them, before returning to the current flow of responses in order to decide which ones are worth voting for.

I have visited the Display Settings section of the site for a solution, alas to no avail (likely due to my lacking HTML skill).

The secular population beyond the monastery is able to expand and collapse text sections (see for example, the paragraphs at slashdot).

Are there any 1) quick-fix remedies and/or 2) long-term site improvements that can be made to improve interactive experience around this?
