Hello,

I know this issue will possibly have been asked before, and I have searched several times before and not found anything...

I'm running a forum on my Drupal site, its the native Drupal forum content type. However, as replies are based on comments, if you keep on replying to a topic, the replies get more and more indented and end up being almost unreadable.

Is there any way I can stop comment replies indenting (I dont know whether it's controlled by a span tag or something)

I've got my forum just how I want it with theming and flatforum... this is the one thing I cant work out. Any ideas?

have you tried the "flat list - expanded" setting? administer > content management > comments, settings tab.

Thanks for that, it was a life saver! I also changed the default display to Oldest First, as is the case on many commercial forum packages.

That saved my members a lot of confusion!

I may be going crazy but there is no settings tab in comments for me. i know I have seen this "flat list - expanded" setting somewhere but can not find it for my life right now. Thoughts?

Let's assume that you have comments on the article content type and you want to change the threading setting. You would get to that setting via the URL or the UI path as follows:

URL:
https://example.com/admin/structure/types/manage/CONTENT_TYPE/fields/node.article.field_comments

UI Path:
Structure > Content types > Article > Manage fields > Comments > Edit > Threading (Check box)
