Better connect chronological and discussion views

i use chronological view instead of discussion view, but people (reds included) will post using "reply" in discussion and assume everyone can tell the context. this causes me to see posts with no context or the wrong context. vice versa, i think people that use chronological view may say something in reference to a recent post, but because they didn't reply to that post or use a quote from it, it's treated as a completely separate conversation in discussion mode.

please add "reply" buttons to chronological so people can indicate what their post is in reference to without quoting it, and also add something to chronological view that lets you see what each post is in replyto, a simple link to the parent post should be the minimum and i think hovering over the link should display the parent post.

This has been annoying the shit out of me. Any thread that reaches 3 pages or more is full of posts with no context. I don't even use chronological, I guess people who do aren't aware of the quote button.

I'm aware of the quote button, I just don't much care if people using "le epic reddit view" understand what's happening or not.

It doesn't matter if you like it or not, it's the default and so that's what 90% of viewers are going to be using. I hate to put it this way but until Riot changes what the default view is, then you're just being part of the problem.

You misunderstand. I do not give one single fuck whether ledditors like what I am doing or not.

This is something being actively worked on. Obviously I'm no red so I can't realistically tell you where they are on it but this is exactly what the plan was last time I checked.
