TLDR: MAKE REPLIES READABLE.

Presently, at least from an accessibility standpoint I've found replies to be a massive headache and the reply feature becomes very confusing when looking at shouts that span multiple replies.



As you can see in this image, Mysterious is replying to entrypoint78 who is replying to emo? (including the name colors for users that are being mentioned is cancerous imo)

The issue with this:

- You find yourself reading the entire length of the message again, whereas a reply should just give context along with new original content
- 1 Reply is fine, but when it spans to this many levels and the only indicator is two dashes, I get a headache trying to read it effectively

 
Solution?

- Add a grey box varying in shade from the shoutbox background to indicate elevation (this is a material design practice) this would make it easier to see how multi-chain replies play out and more quickly/easily read messages.

- Add an option to disable replies, personally I don't need the context, I know that everything everyone says here is some kind of stupid and can assume as much by myself, so it would be cool to just not be able to see them and only see users' original messages.



I mean come on, you're lying to yourself if you don't think that this is fucking aids

+1 for this

+support, mullti-chain are difficult to read.
However, multi-chain also help in replying to a specific question, so if you have seen it afterwards you can still answer it.

I will add timestamps and Real-time numbering instead on client side(Only client side), and you need to expand to read it i.e "readmore". You only see the actually can understand.

I like the idea, I will try to write a userscript for this,when I am free.
