I thought we might as well make it more usable then. Here
is
where we currently are:

Any feedback?
The border around the inner shaded posts is not dark enough
for me
to clearly distinguish the border. Making all the inner borders
the same darkness makes a world of difference, though it's a
small
change:

It is ok not to be able to distinguish the border. The border has
the
sole purpose of highlighting the change of background color. And
even
that does not have to be something that needs to be distinguished
clearly. The main goal is to make it easy to read the connection of
posts in terms of partents and children so that you don't get
confused. indentation is probably the biggest mechanism that cares
about that, background and borders are just supposed to help. The
really dark border at the very left is just to indicate that this
is
the topmost post and you're not missing any context.
I think I may have been unclear. Here's your original image, with
borders and posts identified.

That link was no good because it was coded with http://https:// in the
link. The text worked though.
Same for me, though I'm not sure why this is. I linked it rather than
pasted plaintext because of the trailing dash (which my email program
doesn't automatically parse as a link) but apparently that makes
linking weird too.
Border 1 is very dark.
Border 2 is dark.
Border 3 and 4 are light. So light that it is difficult for me to
pick
out the borders of post A and B.
This makes posts A and B run together for me.
I propose changing borders 3 and 4 to be the same darkness as
border 2
(maybe it's just a rendering issue, but borders 3 and 4 are lighter
in
the image. In my earlier image
<https://img.bi/#/q1mhu9l!A8SXKRNJ6v3l9RTgHGn1KgyWq8kxDnUxc0OV1fO->,
I
changed the top and left borders of post A to be in the style of
border
2. That's all I'm proposing.
While I see Robert's point that the borders aren't necessarily
important, I must say that I agree with Stephen in that his mockup
that
had all internal borders be equally thick simply looked better to me.
I
find the increased border clarity to simply make it easier to
distinguish things and just looks better to me. So I 100% support
Stephen's subtle proposal.
