in reply to Some PerlMonks posts are hidden

Go to User Settings, then set "Replies header depth" and "Replies text depth" to higher values (e.g. 10)

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    ah of course - that'd be an optimistion thing to reduce the load on the DB... makes perfect sense now.

    Just my 2 cents, perhaps rather than omitting the reply altogether (with no reason why), the webpage fetcher could inject something like content suppressed due to User Settings | text/header depth values

    That would at least tell the user that the message was intentionally not displayed and a hint on where the setting is - and avoid them thinking they've stumbled onto some weird bug or something...

    of course the admins might disagree with me.
    Cheers

      In fact in cases like this, there used to be a message saying Some notes below your chosen depth have not been shown here

      So it seems a recent code change may be unintentionally preventing the message from being shown.
