Over at https://community.sdl.com/solutions/language/translationproductivity/studio-beta-group/f/37/t/9088, I asked about improving the underlying forum software, and specifically threading / the system's lack of a Gmail-style Conversation view. I have two questions relating to this (so far):

There should be a way to toggle some kind of Conversation mode ON/OFF, like in Gmail and many good forum platforms. Currently, all new posts in a thread just get tacked on chronologically to the end. For example, if someone said sth in the middle of the thread (chronologically) and you want to reply to that particular post, once you do so, it is not placed directly under their post (which is the Conversation style many people know and love), but is placed at the very end, with the rather useless text: "In reply to Luis Lopes:", "In reply to Paul Filkin:", "In reply to Santa Claus:", etc. However, the person reading this has no way of knowing which post by Luis Lopes, Paul Filkin, or Santa Claus is meant. Many people regularly post multiple times in a single thread, so the post you are reading could be in reply to anything really. You know that it was in reply to a specific person, but little more.

Then the filters. I want a way to see if anyone has added anything new to threads I am interested in, so I tried "Unread questions and discussions". However, e.g., as a test, I just clicked on the thread "Updates without Admin Rights?", looked at it, and then went back to the start page (https://community.sdl.com/solutions/language/translationproductivity/studio-beta-group/f/37). However, the same thread is still shown at the top. Shouldn't it be gone now, since I viewed/read it? I noticed that there is a "Mark all read" button to the right, but how do you mark a single thread as read?

There are more problems, but I'll start with these two.
