Good lord. I'd been giving Yahoo a tiny bit of benefit of the doubt, assuming 
the disastrous formatting on the Web site was an inevitable consequence of 
making it work on mobile. But if the formatting is just as bad on mobile, then 
there really is no excuse. The Neo interface is just an incompetently designed 
piece of software from the get-go.

 Multi messages are shown "inline" just the same way they are shown on desktop. 
 The main difference between desktop and mobile is 1) you only get the message 
list and not the sidebars and 2) they provide an option to list the rest of the 
messages rather than  downloading all of them.  Progressive scrolls save data 
charges for some people on mobile though for me it would be hard to rack up 
more than 5 GB a month and at home I just get the stuff on the phone wifi 
anyway.

   Yes, I know, but as I said, a multi-message message history is where the 
formatting becomes loathesome on the Web site. So it would be informative to 
see whether it's better on a mobile.

 "Show message history" will just show all the messages inline as you scroll 
down so a screenshot would not be very informative.  Reading FFL on the phone 
is handy after I've put my computers to bed. ;-)

   Thanks, but I'd still like to see a screen shot of a post showing a message 
history--say at least three layers deep--because that's where the formatting 
gets so screwed up on the Web site. Also like to see a reply post with comments 
interleaved.
 
 
 Don't bother if it's a hassle; I'm just curious.

 Here you go.  Remember most people will be reading on a smartphone a few 
inches from their face.  As you see the message history is an option which can 
be selected.  The first image was the start screen which has the banner.  You 
can scroll down the messages as far as you want.  Also the phone can be turned 
sideways for a wider display though shorter display (handy for ready Turqs hard 
return messages).
