It threads and is flat so it does not nest. However, you can click on a parents "Replies" to see all descendent messages. Also, it appears you click on the "in reply to" link for the parent.

actually, we might say -- it is logically nested.
but visually not.

does that matter? as long as it's logically nested, we can always come up with the "right" interface later.

I agree about nesting -- it would be rewarding to be able to coherently follow threads.

Thanks to the OSNews staff for all of the effort put in to this improvement!

I think the current system is very good; it gives the benefits of nesting, allows you to filter out all the non-thread messages quickly and fits on my lowly 1024x768 screen nicely due to not nesting :-)

Good work, OSNews crew!

(1st post by the way :-)).
