If individual replies to a post are “pinned” to that specific post then the chronological sequence of the thread is broken.
If there is a thread of say, 10 posts and the specific one you would like to reply to is say, message #5, then “pinning” a specific reply to msg#5 would make it appear like msg#5a. Here is an example:
IIS now:
- Original post, Msg#1
- Msg#2
- Msg#3
- Msg#4
- Msg#5
- Msg#6
- Msg#7
- Msg#8
- Msg#9
- Msg#10
The above list would be in chronological order.
However, if we wanted our specific reply to Msg#5 to appear as follows:
- Original post, Msg#1
- Msg#2
- Msg#3
- Msg#4
- Msg#5
- Msg#5a specific reply to Msg#5
- Msg#6
- Msg#7
- Msg#8
- Msg#9
- Msg#10
Then the date of Msg#5a would then be later than the following Msg’s and break the chronological sequence.
Cheers
