Q&A tree

DMT

Hi.
I installed and tried Flarum on my localhost, not just is it an easy forum, but it is beautiful, free and it looks like it has an amazing community of people that work on this and make amazing extensions, but there are one thing I don't understand. The way one ask a question on the forum & the answers that are related and not related,
I mean:

Person A starts a discussion with an question.
A minute later, person B just writes something, not related to the question in the same discussion-forum.
Another hour or so goes and person C, D, E and F answers person B.
2 days later; person G, H, I, J, K, L ask questions and answer person B, C, D, E...
6 days later; person M, N, O, P answers person A, B, C, D..
_______
NOW! This will be amazingly hard to try to find all the answers that are related to person As question.
I need to remember the question, the person A's name and then search for all the @s/replies that are connected to person .
Why is this the way? I mean; wouldn't it be easier that everyone who replies person A would be under his question? I mean, say that; like a thread, or a tree?
The correct answers to person A would come 2-3 weeks later on pages 10-12 by 4-5 different people.
I need to go through 10 pages to find the answer that is related to person A? Why not put all replies under his question in page 1 and anything else that aren't related would create new pages and so on? Or is it something I really miss here? I tried on the 'post test here' and it became really weird when we talk about 100s of people replying to each other.

This is my first post, and wanted to thank the people behind Flarum for this amazing free forum

DMT it lists replies at the end of the post.

Davis This is some feedback I need to share.

If your post have like 25 likes, its shows the first 2-3 names and then it says "23 likes" or something. I need to click on the '23 likes' and let a new window come up with the 23 likes then close the window to go back to the forum. That is 4 seconds that could be vanished by make the 23 likes been shown on mouse-over or something. Faster, easier.
If your post have 15 answers and you want to see them, then yes you can on mouse over get the list of all text written by the 15 people who answered. This is what it should happen for the likes. But for answers, its to much, what happen if someone answers with a picture or what happen if the forum is a mathematics or programming forum? The text would look greasy and busy, not organized.
If the post have 15 answers, I can click on one of them, it will take be there, then I need to scroll up or click on the OPs name to get back, but if one of the answers are on another page, then I need to click on the name, wait for the new page, read and go back to first page to see the other answers. if its pure text, then yes, can be easy with the system its on mouseover, but if the forum is about something where people need to show formula or programming code, then its taking time to go to the new page and back 15 times to read the answers. If the Q&A would be like something like Reddit or some tree-system, then everything is on the first page under OPs question.

If i understand this correctly (correct me if i am wrong).

A moderator or Admin would normally split the topic if there are any unrelated posts from OP.

To add something very useful - We have an extension called Select Post Best Answer

and Split Posts by @Davis

A lists of replies under one post would be something i see as an extension.

DMT

Digital Thanks for the two extensions, but they didn't change the Q&A-lists of replies, but yes, you have right, it should be an extension that makes so that we can see all the 'likes' by mouse-over effect and the replies under the question instead of spread over 20 pages.
