I know, there are much higher priorities on the list of features right now, but an overhaul to the updates would be lovely.
Right now, we see updates from people in our buddy list mingling with replies from them, sometimes to the updates of people who aren't in our list. Personally, I find this confusing.
Instead of just showing replies separately which makes it hard to follow the original conversation, I wish we would see the original post, with threaded highlights of where people in our buddy list have commented - I know I'm probably not expressing the idea well, but I'd like a clear threaded conversation like the website Plurk uses.
And the ability to reply within replies within replies within replies thing? WHEN WILL IT END?
OR If this is too much to ask, could I opt out of seeing replies from my friends to other glitches who aren't on my buddy list? I'm all for meeting new people, but stumbling into a conversation with someone I've never interacted with before sort of feels like the nosy next door neighbour.
Yes, I know I could click over and over again to see the original starting point to the conversation, but since this is the Ideas forum, I thought I could suggest some ways it could be made so much better.
