No threading controls for Bugs and Ideas subforums of Lightroom Classic forum

[John R Ellis]

The Bugs and Ideas subforums of Lightroom Classic don't support the threading controls that Discussions allows. This is most unfortunate, since threads in these subforums can involve dozens of people and be very long with concurrent sub-threads.

In Discussions, you can set Sort to Earliest or Latest, you can choose Linear or Threaded View, and replies have clickable "In Response To" links:

You can't do any of this in Bugs or Ideas (see screenshots below).

Tested on Mac OS 12.6.1, Chrome 108.0.5359.98 (Official Build) (x86_64), Safari 15.6.1 (17613.3.9.1.16), and Firefox 107.0.1 (64-bit).

@John R Ellis,

Only DISCUSSIONS are threaded.

BUG & IDEAS  are Unthreaded by design.  That won't change.

I'm guessing it's because unthreaded reports integerate better with internal tracking systems that Adobe Employees must use.

If you have a burning need to reply to BUGs or IDEAs, quote the message you're replying to.

If it's not an actual bug, ask a Moderator to move it to DISCUSSIONS.
