Chronological View

Takes my replies out of context. Using the view, no one can see who I'm replying to. Out of context, my opinion looks crazy. It looks as though I'm replying to OP. To fix this, Riot needs to implement a "Replying to X's post" with a link, and a "view post" drop-down. If I disagree with a comment, but agree with OP, chronological view displays my message as disagreeing with the OP. Huge error. Context is important.

Also, the chronological order needs to be reversed. Discussion view is there to highlight the most relevant/controversial posts, so chronological view should give new posts a chance to be highlighted! Having the newer posts first helps ensure that no highly relevant/controversial/productive posts go unnoticed.

I agree 100%.

I only use Chronological view and half of what people are saying are hard to understand because it is hard to follow context with it.

I dislike discussion view A LOT, and have no intention of switching over to it.

NO.

vBulletin is formatted the way it is for a REASON.

ALL POSTS ARE SHOWN IN THE ORDER MADE

being that reason.

It's just that the Boards have borked it such that the OP is not 'the first message on the first page'.
