I need to display a threaded forum on Mobile. It's a fully fledged threaded forum where users can reply on any "reply".
Currently I am displaying the forum in threaded order, but as it is a small display size I can not show the depth of the reply after 3/4 reply chains. This makes it dfficult to understand and to relate to the replies.
I am considering following options
Show all threads in Time Sorted manner irrespective of thread (newest the first). This might also confuse the reader, about the parent for last reply.
Typical Navigation flow of mobile where I show only one parent and first childs of the parent, to view grand-childs I select on of the child. But this will have too many navigational back and forth for single forum
Display only Nodes of thread for last reply. i.e Showing only main Thread, Last reply and all nodes which binds them together. This will also include an option where user can view Entire Threaded Message
I want to know what is the best way I can display it mobile.
EDIT:
Actual Forum POST
