Not sure if this is the correct place for this question - please feel free to redirect if needed...

When I go to Your Stuff > Preferences > General Preferences, there is an option under General Settings for Discussion View Style and Comment View Style.

It has a dropdown to let me choose whether I want Flat, or... well, Flat. There is only one choice.

Why is there no "Hierarchical"?

Because Adobe wants you to have flat style on their forums.  There is no hierarchical view on my profile either.

good luck.

Adobe sounds like Henry Ford: "You can have your Model T in any color you like as long as it's black".

Jive is the company who write and manage the forums software and the hosted platform it runs on. They are not a contractor.

There are only two view modes in Jive SBS - flat and threaded. The latter doesn't fit in the fixed-column page layout used on this site, so it's disabled.

...flat and threaded. The latter doesn't fit in the fixed-column page layout used on this site...

Unfortunately, the former doesn't fit with my brain's layout when trying to follow a thread!
