  1. Yes, thread display is local and does not get rid of the chronological view.
  2. People in DESC and here have expressed annoyance at this.
  3. Some find that this makes following the conversation confusing; others like it.
  4. It is exactly as the designer of Discourse has said he prefers it, so it’s not a bug as such.
  5. Because of #4, I suspect that this is quite hard to change.
