It seems that the latest reply is no longer at the bottom of the thread. If a reply is made to a post, then the reply appears under that post rather than at the end. This may be intentional. If so, I just need to change the way I look at the thread.
I've now removed the ↪️ Reply link under each post - when threads get long, particularly the Politics thread, it was difficult to follow the latest replies as they were appearing halfway down the page.
It worked well with a short quiet thread, and if you subscribed via the bell or email - the link would take you to each specific reply-of-a-reply.
But particularly as the select quote feature works well, there seems less point in replies to each reply.
If you miss this feature then shout, and maybe we'll need a vote, but as we get older we need things to be easier to follow!

We seem to get quoted replies mid thread again.
Yes. It's very confusing!
Yes, sorry about that @wowbagger and @arthurfowler
It never really went away, and is a limitation of the forum software.
Apparently, to enable the nice front-page listing of recent tweets across all forums, I need to also enable what they call 'nested replies'.
The best I could do was to remove the Reply button, but when someone quotes, the reply is still nested in the same way.
I will remove the quote option underneath each post, then that will just leave the selective-text quote.
Sorry I'm beginning thick. Where is the "quote" option?

No worries, Arthur - I've now removed the 'quote all' option that appeared below each post (doing that used up so much space, too).
If you wish, you can still selectively quote by highlighting specific words - as below - then clicking the quote icon that pops up, like so:

Ah like this. Thanks
