Threaded replies to feedback on views

[shanen]

Hi,
I received some feedback on a view recently and found myself looking for a way to reply directly to it.
All I can do in practice is add more feedback in order to reply to the other feedback.
This doesn't make sense, as sometimes people ask questions about your view/portfolio and as the creator of the view I would like to respond in a threaded sense as you would any other comment system.
Thanks,
Shane.

I think, in the case of comment threads (i.e. feedback) it might be better if, rather than being fully threadable the same as forums, they were slightly simpler and only the top-level comments were threadable. Sorta like Facebook's current subthread functionality.

In other words, if you post a comment on a Page, that comment will have a "reply to" link that will cause a subthread to that comment, and other people can post comments on that subthread or on the Page itself. But, comments within the subthread will not have a "reply to" link. So, only 1 level of subthreads is possible.

It's a nice compromise between the complexity of full threading and the over-simplicity of no threading.

Sounds good to me as long as FB doesn't have the patent for that. ;-)
