Question

(option to) show replies chronological

Right now replies are shown reddit-style, not classic forum style. An newer reply can show up much higher in a topic than an older reply. I don’t think it makes sense in a forum like this as you won’t have many nested discussions (if it’s off topic a new topic will/should be created). I only click reply on a reply so I can quote it and respond to it. Not to create a deeper nesting.
I’d like an option to disable it.

I saw it when I clicked a notification in this topic and it didn’t bring me to the post. I scrolled down and didn’t see a new post.

 had to use CTRL+F to find it. Though I cannot reproduce that issue anymore.
