| Nov 7, 2025 at 7:45 | comment | added | Weijun Zhou | I still prefer to post comments as comments even though they are not obviously visible outside the inbox, and I'm glad that it has actually resulted in an improvement to a reply. | |
| Nov 5, 2025 at 10:19 | comment | added | Dalija Prasnikar Mod | I fully agree with this feature request. Comments are comments and even new type of content should have those clearly separated from what are supposed to be proper answers to the asked question. This would also make new questions compatible with the current Q/A post format (which can easily work for new types of questions, too) and this would make migration of wrongly classified posts easier. And in the future opens possibility of migrating old questions which are off-topic for Q/A to new question type if they fit there. | |

| Nov 5, 2025 at 1:53 | comment | added | Weijun Zhou | I am fully against it if it is intended as another attempt to resurrect discussions. Also as I said, comments are just comments and should be treated as such. Threaded replies is orthogonal to the proper comment feature and the reason should be quite clear from this answer. | |
| Nov 4, 2025 at 18:11 | comment | added | Dan Getz | The OP says a future version will have reply threading to accomplish a similar thing, similar to Discussions, which is why no comments. But I agree that a simple "conversation view" is not good and separating comments from answers would be more readable—this was part of the Q&A improvement over forums. | |
