EA_Cade Can you put the underlying method into an easy guide for new users in the Forum?
I think it will alleviate a lot of frustrations.
EA_Nils Thank you for your response to my feedback in The new EA Sims Forum. I'm putting you in this thread because we found a way to avoid all the layer upon layer answers that are a great frustration for users. Now it's just a matter of expanding the method until a technical solution is found.

NB: If you only reply to the main post with @name reference, the replies are in roughly chronological order. So I intend to do that in the future. Let's see if it works.Another thing is that if you use @ the notification will take you directly to the reply.

This is exactly how we need to start posting, so we can at least order posts chornologically, either by Oldest or Newest. No nested replies, all replies should be to main post, we quote the poster we want to reply to and add the @ before username so they get notified.I was starting to come to the same conclusion myself.

I too had come to the conclusion that replying to the OP and not directly to the post we’re responding to is a better way to go and solves the problem of hidden nested replies. But for it to work, everyone needs to do this, and I’m not sure how we get it to catch on?
I think it's FreddyFox1234 who has added username wrote. I don't know if he did it manually in bold font.
Nope, I'm afraid I have no idea how others have been able to get username wrote to show at the start of quotes. I've just been adding the post author's name manually (as in this post). I think crocobaura has been able to do it?

Sprottenham I've seen several people suggest putting an avatar into the message like I've done here.
I've come across quite a few Penny Pizzazz alter egos and it confuses me when I think it's my own picture. I'm thinking, what did I say? 😅
