Ability to see replies to a specific post

Hey, I just had an idea to have the ability to see the different replies to a specific post (not topic)

You know how when you press the number of likes a post, it shows you a list of profile icons of people who liked the post?

And also how when you or someone else replies to someone else’s post, it shows who you replied to?

I think it would be very cool if we could have something similar. I’m imagining a number next to the reply button, and when you press it, a thing pops up showing the pfps of the people who replied, like the like number, and the when you press the profile pic, it scrolls to the post.

This would be helpful in seeing the different replies by different people, and also the number of replies a specific post has gotten.

You can sort of do this already:

Currently it only shows you the top posters. You might want to suggest this feature to discourse:

Is this what you’re talking about?

Here’s when you expand it:

It has the profile picture and the reply itself, just like you requested.

I know, i said specifically “NOT TOPIC”

I’m saying something like that, but for posts. And you can see the replies to a certain post, not the post that a reply is replying to… if that makes any sense.

Hey, could you show that but in 1, large screenshot? It’s hard to see what that is…

I am now replying to your post. Look at the bottom left corner of the post you just wrote and find “1 Replies”. It will show all (1) replies to your post, namely this post I am currently writing.

It looks like this feature vanishes entirely on all themes if your screen is too small (particularly mobile devices). You can see it vanish if you use devtools mobile emulator.
