Replying to Responses to Comments?

Yes, it's very confusing and unintuitive. I asked Captain Coder about it a while ago and he said something like it's like that to reduce the stress/workload on the server/site or whatever so it's not calling on a million responses at once when someone replies...or something. Obviously I'm not the tech guy lol.

I get the impression he manually codes everything, and possibly all the pages on the site are intertwined with his custom code, so it's probably a major project to ask him to "just add this simple feature here and there".

I'd definitely rather have a standard forum though.

I'll go comment on a custom of yours to test what happens
