Public bug reported:

Reported by AUT:

When forum post indentation (default) is switched on, forum posts are
indented depending on the post to which they refer back. However, when
forums don't have indentation on, replies are still grouped right below
the post they refer to. That means, you can switch back to indentation
and you'll see the indents, but when you switch to "no indents" the
order of the replies doesn't change.

Posting the replies right below the posts they refer to but not having
the visual indicator of the indentation can make it difficult to follow
when something was said and in which order esp. since earlier posts can
be way down at the bottom.

We think it's normally the case that when you don't have indentations /
threaded replies that the order of the posts is just chronological (like
for the feedback).
