the forum and blog commenting styles going to be a bit diferent in the dreadlockssite 3.0
groups ofcourse can choose any style they want but i want a uniform style for the main site
the 3 choices are
flat standard and threaded
flat style alows only sequential replies to the original post no replies to replies
threaded on the other hand is in my opinion a pain in the ass and on mobile/tablet it reverts to standard for display reasons
but threaded would look like

reply 2
reply 1 to reply 2
up to 10 levels deep once you reach 10 levels of replies to a reply you have to reply to the post or a reply a level lower i find it annoying as hell
standard on the other hand loojs like
post
reply 1
all replies to reply 1 no matter how deep they go with no limits and at top says who they are replying to
personaly i prefer our option we have here with flat style with quotes but thats not an option.at least not yet
you can try the diferent styles here

flat style
http://ww3.dreadlockssite.com/groups/beta-test-group/standard
standard
http://ww3.dreadlockssite.com/groups/beta-test-group/threaded
threaded
note we also have 2 other options that are not good options for the main site but maybe great for a group or 2
facebook and disguss commenting
you cannot use them with the native comments so people who comment would have to have facebook or disguss accounts to use it
but it does open up an opurtuninty for discussion with non members
so try out the diferent options and vote for your faves
if 1 is particularly annoying let us know..and why
try them out on mobile too
