Better Reply/Thread management

The one thing I dont like about these forums is that when you have a lot of replies it can be daunting to see whose replying to what (especially if its not all replying to the same thing). I think it would be easier if all the replies for a post (or reply) were just slid/indented over a little. Similar to the (new?) reddit way. It doesn't even need to be hid or that much, just slide it over a little.

This has been brought up many times before and has always been rejected due to the nature of conversation on the forum. Making the chronological order of the forum make sense 

If someone has helped you out on the forum don't forget to give them a reaction to say thank you!

Please put as much effort into your question as you expect me to put into answering it.

This is a traditional linear discussion forum, not Reddit. (Thankfully.)

This is the semi-traditional Forum type. If you prefer the Reddit style of forum there is an LTT Reddit.

But as for my 2cents, this style is easier to track than the reddit mess of garbage that it is. Just saying.

I used to be on other forums that converted to a Reddit "style". It ruined tons of threads that had documentation, stories, and things similar to the banning game.
