Sorry, that's plain wrong. <New Reply> should be removed in general - though the mess it generates becomes obvious in threaded view only. <New Reply> destroys the underlying logical order between posts and responses within a thread which "linear viewers" choose to neglect.

Alas, it seems most forumers have chosen linear view indicating they aren't interested in maintaining a logical sequence of responses anymore. So a plain timeline is all they want to have. A major step back in forum structure IMHO (compared to the old forum as well as to what would have been possible in the new one).

It's a pity.
